# 🐳 Containerd and Kubernetes Installation Guide
A comprehensive step-by-step guide for setting up a Kubernetes cluster using **Containerd** as the container runtime. This guide is intended for Ubuntu-based systems.
---
## ⚙️ 1. Disable Swap
Kubernetes requires swap to be disabled for proper scheduling and memory management.
```bash
sudo swapoff -a
sudo sed -i '/swap/d' /etc/fstab
```
---
## 🧩 2. Enable Required Kernel Modules
Load the necessary kernel modules for networking and overlay file systems.
```bash
cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/containerd.conf
overlay
br_netfilter
EOF
sudo modprobe overlay
sudo modprobe br_netfilter
```
---
## 🌐 3. Enable IPv4 Forwarding
Enable packet forwarding to allow pods to communicate across the network.
```bash
sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/99-kubernetes-cri.conf <<EOF
net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 1
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables = 1
EOF
sudo sysctl --system
```
---
## 📦 4. Install and Configure Containerd
Install and configure **Containerd** with `systemd` as the cgroup driver.
```bash
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y containerd
sudo mkdir -p /etc/containerd
containerd config default | sudo tee /etc/containerd/config.toml
sudo sed -i 's/SystemdCgroup = false/SystemdCgroup = true/' /etc/containerd/config.toml
sudo systemctl restart containerd
sudo systemctl enable containerd
```
---
## ⎈ 5. Install Kubernetes Components
Add the Kubernetes repository and install the core components: `kubelet`, `kubeadm`, and `kubectl`.
```bash
sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://pkgs.k8s.io/core:/stable:/v1.30/deb/Release.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/kubernetes-apt-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/kubernetes-apt-keyring.gpg] https://pkgs.k8s.io/core:/stable:/v1.30/deb/ /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubernetes.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y kubelet kubeadm kubectl
sudo apt-mark hold kubelet kubeadm kubectl
```
---
## 🔁 6. Enable Kubelet Service
Start and enable the kubelet to run on system boot.
```bash
sudo systemctl enable --now kubelet
```
---
## 🚀 7. Initialize the Kubernetes Control Plane
Initialize the cluster. Replace the IP with your master node's IP address.
```bash
sudo kubeadm init \
--control-plane-endpoint 192.168.2.100 \
--apiserver-advertise-address 192.168.2.100 \
--pod-network-cidr 10.244.0.0/16 | tee kuber-install.log
```
---
## 🛠 8. Configure kubectl Access
Set up `kubectl` for the current (non-root) user.
```bash
mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config
```
---
## 🧾 9. Create Control Plane Join Command
Generate a command for other control plane nodes to join the cluster.
```bash
sudo kubeadm init phase upload-certs --upload-certs
```
Copy the **certificate key** from the output above and run:
```bash
sudo kubeadm token create --certificate-key <CERTIFICATE_KEY> --print-join-command | tee cp-command.txt
```
Replace `<CERTIFICATE_KEY>` with the actual key.
---
## 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 10. Join Control Plane and Worker Nodes
* **Control Plane Nodes**: Use the command from `cp-command.txt` on each node.
* **Worker Nodes**: Use the `kubeadm join` command printed at the end of the `kubeadm init` output or found in `kuber-install.log`.
---
## ✅ Final Step: Install a Pod Network Add-on
Choose and apply a pod network add-on (e.g., Flannel, Calico, Cilium). Here's an example with Flannel:
```bash
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flannel-io/flannel/master/Documentation/kube-flannel.yml
```
---
🎉 **Your Kubernetes cluster is now up and running!**
Ensure all nodes are ready by running:
```bash
kubectl get nodes
```
