Kubespray DIND experimental setup
This ansible playbook creates local docker containers to serve as Kubernetes "nodes", which in turn will run "normal" Kubernetes docker containers, a mode usually called DIND (Docker-IN-Docker).
The playbook has two roles:
- dind-host: creates the "nodes" as containers in localhost, with appropiate settings for DIND (privileged, volume mapping for dind storage, etc).
- dind-cluster: customizes each node container to have required system packages installed, and some utils (swapoff, lsattr) symlinked to /bin/true to ease mimicking a real node.
This playbook has been test with Ubuntu 16.04 as host and ubuntu:16.04 as docker images (note that dind-cluster has specific customization for these images).
The playbook also creates a /tmp/kubespray.dind.inventory_builder.sh
helper (wraps up running contrib/inventory_builder/inventory.py with
node containers IPs and prefix).
Deploying
See below for a complete successful run:
- Create the node containers
# From the kubespray root dir
cd contrib/dind
pip install -r requirements.txt
ansible-playbook -i hosts dind-cluster.yaml
# Back to kubespray root
cd ../..
NOTE: if the playbook run fails with something like below error
message, you may need to specifically set ansible_python_interpreter,
see ./hosts file for an example expanded localhost entry.
failed: [localhost] (item=kube-node1) => {"changed": false, "item": "kube-node1", "msg": "Failed to import docker or docker-py - No module named requests.exceptions. Try `pip install docker` or `pip install docker-py` (Python 2.6)"}
- Customize kubespray-dind.yaml
Note that there's coupling between above created node containers
and kubespray-dind.yaml settings, in particular regarding selected node_distro
(as set in group_vars/all/all.yaml), and docker settings.
$EDITOR contrib/dind/kubespray-dind.yaml
- Prepare the inventory and run the playbook
INVENTORY_DIR=inventory/local-dind
mkdir -p ${INVENTORY_DIR}
rm -f ${INVENTORY_DIR}/hosts.ini
CONFIG_FILE=${INVENTORY_DIR}/hosts.ini /tmp/kubespray.dind.inventory_builder.sh
ansible-playbook --become -e ansible_ssh_user=debian -i ${INVENTORY_DIR}/hosts.ini cluster.yml --extra-vars @contrib/dind/kubespray-dind.yaml
NOTE: You could also test other distros without editing files by
passing --extra-vars as per below commandline,
replacing DISTRO by either debian, ubuntu, centos, fedora:
cd contrib/dind
ansible-playbook -i hosts dind-cluster.yaml --extra-vars node_distro=DISTRO
cd ../..
CONFIG_FILE=inventory/local-dind/hosts.ini /tmp/kubespray.dind.inventory_builder.sh
ansible-playbook --become -e ansible_ssh_user=DISTRO -i inventory/local-dind/hosts.ini cluster.yml --extra-vars @contrib/dind/kubespray-dind.yaml --extra-vars bootstrap_os=DISTRO
Resulting deployment
See below to get an idea on how a completed deployment looks like, from the host where you ran kubespray playbooks.

Using ./run-test-distros.sh
You can use ./run-test-distros.sh to run a set of tests via DIND,
and excerpt from this script, to get an idea:
# The SPEC file(s) must have two arrays as e.g.
# DISTROS=(debian centos)
# EXTRAS=(
# 'kube_network_plugin=calico'
# 'kube_network_plugin=flannel'
# 'kube_network_plugin=weave'
# )
# that will be tested in a "combinatory" way (e.g. from above there'll be
# be 6 test runs), creating a sequenced <spec_filename>-nn.out with each output.
#
# Each $EXTRAS element will be whitespace split, and passed as --extra-vars
# to main kubespray ansible-playbook run.
See e.g. test-some_distros-most_CNIs.env and
test-some_distros-kube_router_combo.env in particular for a richer
set of CNI specific --extra-vars combo.
