terraform-proxmox-k3s

A module for spinning up an expandable and flexible K3s server for your HomeLab.

Features

Fully automated. No need to remote into a VM; even for a kubeconfig
Built in and automatically configured external loadbalancer (both K3s API and ingress)
Static(ish) MAC addresses for reproducible DHCP reservations
Node pools to easily scale and to handle many kinds of workloads
Pure Terraform - no Ansible needed.

Prerequisites

A Proxmox node with sufficient capacity for all nodes
A cloneable or template VM with a size that does not exceed the smallest node size (10G currently) that supports Cloud-init and is based on Debian (ideally ubuntu server)
2 cidr ranges for master and worker nodes NOT handed out by DHCP (nodes are configured with static IPs from these ranges)

Usage

Take a look at the complete auto-generated docs on the Official Registry Page.

module "k3s" {
  source  = "fvumbaca/k3s/proxmox"
  version = ">= 0.0.0, < 1.0.0" # Get latest 0.X release

  authorized_keys_file = "authorized_keys"

  proxmox_node = "my-proxmox-node"

  node_template = "ubuntu-template"
  proxmox_resource_pool = "my-k3s"

  network_gateway = "192.168.0.1"
  lan_subnet = "192.168.0.0/24"

  support_node_settings = {
    cores = 2
    memory = 4096
  }

  # Disable default traefik and servicelb installs for metallb and traefik 2
  k3s_disable_components = [
    "traefik",
    "servicelb"
  ]

  master_nodes_count = 2
  master_node_settings = {
    cores = 2
    memory = 4096
  }

  # 192.168.0.200 -> 192.168.0.207 (6 available IPs for nodes)
  control_plane_subnet = "192.168.0.200/29"

  node_pools = [
    {
      name = "default"
      size = 2
      # 192.168.0.208 -> 192.168.0.223 (14 available IPs for nodes)
      subnet = "192.168.0.208/28"
    }
  ]
}

Retrieve Kubeconfig

To get the kubeconfig for your new K3s first make sure to forward the module output in your project's output:

output "kubeconfig" {
  # Update module name. Here we are using 'k3s'
  value = module.k3s.k3s_kubeconfig
  sensitive = true
}

Finally output the config file:

terraform output -raw kubeconfig > config.yaml
# Test out the config:
kubectl --kubeconfig config.yaml get nodes

Make sure your support node is routable from the computer you are running the command on!

Runbooks and Documents

Why use nodepools and subnets?

This module is designed with nodepools and subnets to allow for changes to the cluster composition in the future. If later on, you want to add another master or worker node, you can do so without needing to teardown/modify existing nodes. Nodepools are key if you plan to support nodes with different nodepool capabilities in the future without impacting other nodes.

Todo

Add variable to allow workloads on master nodes
