Install kubectl

In this part, we will introduce how to install kubectl on Linux.

For other operating system, refer to https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools

Install kubectl binary with curl on Linux

Download the latest release with the command:

Code Block

language	bash

curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/b in/linux/amd64/kubectl"

Install kubectl

Code Block

language	bash

sudo install -o root -g root -m 0755 kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl

Note: If you do not have root access on the target system, you can still install kubectl to the ~/.local/bin directory:

Code Block

language	bash

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin/kubectl 
mv ./kubectl ~/.local/bin/kubectl 
# and then add ~/.local/bin/kubectl to $PATH

Test to ensure the version you installed is up-to-date:
Code Block
language bash
kubectl version --client

Install using native package management

Debian-based distributions

Update the apt package index and install packages needed to use the Kubernetes apt repository:
Code Block
language bash
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl

Download the Google Cloud public signing key:

Code Block

language	bash

sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/kubernetes-archive-keyring.gpg https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg

Add the Kubernetes apt repository:

Code Block

language	bash

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/kubernetes-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.kubernetes.io/ kubernetes-xenial main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubernetes.list

Update apt package index with the new repository and install kubectl:
Code Block
language bash
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y kubectl

Red Hat-based distributions

Code Block

language	bash

cat <<EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/kubernetes.repo
[kubernetes]
name=Kubernetes
baseurl=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/repos/kubernetes-el7-x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/yum-key.gpg https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/rpm-package-key.gpg
EOF
yum install -y kubectl

Connect To TKE Cluster

Open APIServer of your Cluster

On the page of cluster management, click the name of your cluster to jump to the information page of your cluster.

Image AddedImage Added

At Basic Information > Cluster APIServer Information, turn on Internet access and copy the Kubeconfig.

Image AddedImage Added

Add IP or CIDR of your client machine, witch you just install tool kubectl.

Image AddedImage Added

Click save to finish.

Configure Kubeconfig

Code Block

language	bash

vim ~/.kube/config

Paste the kubecofnig content of your cluster you just copied and save.

Execute the command on the dashboard of your cluster to switch the context to access your cluster.

For example

Code Block

language	bash

kubectl config --kubeconfig=/root/.kube/config get-contexts 
kubectl config --kubeconfig=/root/.kube/config use-context xxxxx-context-default

Specially, xxxxx-context-default base on your cluster name. You can find it on the dashboard.

Check Connection

Code Block

language	bash

kubectl get node

Install IEC Type 4 ARVR Blueprint - Virtual Classroom

Install TARS

Run the following command to install TARS on your cluster.

Code Block

language	bash
theme	Emacs

git clone https://github.com/TarsCloud/K8STARS

# Create namespace tars-system
kubectl create namespace tars-system

# Set up default namespace
kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=tars-system

# Build deploy files
cd K8STARS/baseserver
make deploy

# Create a mysql service
kubectl apply -f yaml/db_all_in_one.yaml

# Check pods status
kubectl get pods

# Get db_pod name
export db_pod=$(kubectl get pod -l  app=tars-db-all-in-one -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')

# Install db
sh db/install_db_k8s.sh

# Install node registry
kubectl apply -f yaml/registry.yaml

# Install tarsweb
kubectl apply -f yaml/tarsweb.yaml

# Install other nodes
kubectl apply -f yaml/tarsnotify.yaml
kubectl apply -f yaml/tarslog.yaml
kubectl apply -f yaml/tarsconfig.yaml
kubectl apply -f yaml/tarsproperty.yaml
kubectl apply -f yaml/tarsstat.yaml
kubectl apply -f yaml/tarsquerystat.yaml
kubectl apply -f yaml/tarsqueryproperty.yaml

After that, you can open page of TarsWeb by address http://{NodeIP}:30000, NodeIP is the Public IP of the node which TarsWeb deploy on in your cluster. You can find it in Node management > node.

Open TarsWeb page in browser.

After configure the password of admin and login, you will jump to the index.

Image AddedImage Added

Now, you have finished the installation of K8STARS.

Install Openvidu

As Openvidu hasn't supported deployment on Kubernetes, we will just install it on a node.

We have configured the login method of the node in your cluster. So we can just connect to the node by SSH with the login method you configured. Here we use a SSH key to log in.

Connect to a Node

We just copy the public IP of the node you choose, and connect to the node through the following command:

Code Block

language	bash

ssh -i .ssh/id_rsa_iec_type_4 172.123.123.123

It means connecting to the node with public IP 172.123.123.123 by identity file id_rsa_iec_type_4.

Install Openvidu-server

Prepare

Install docker and docker-compose.

Code Block

language	bash
theme	Emacs

# Configure repo
cd /opt
yum-config-manager \
    --add-repo \
    https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo

# Install docker
yum install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
systemctl enable docker

# Install docker-compose
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.25.0/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
docker-compose --version

Install Openvidu

Code Block
curl https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/aws.openvidu.io/install_openvidu_2.13.0.sh \| bash

Configuration

Edit file .env , add your host public IP and admin password.

Code Block

language	bash
theme	Emacs

vi /opt/openvidu/.env

# Add your host IP and admin password
OPENVIDU_DOMAIN_OR_PUBLIC_IP= $your_host_IP
OPENVIDU_SECRET= $admin_PW

Start Openvidu

Code Block

language	bash
theme	Emacs

cd /opt/openvidu/ 
./openvidu start

Install Frontend

Install http-server-ssl and clone frontend code, edit app.js

Code Block

language	bash
theme	Emacs

# http-server install
npm install -g http-server-ssl
 
# Virtual Classroom front-end setup
git clone https://github.com/OpenVidu/openvidu-vr.git
cd openvidu-vr/openvidu-vr-room
vi app.js

Modify the values of OPENVIDU_SERVER_URL and OPENVIDU_SERVER_SECRET, which you just set in last section.

Code Block

language	js
theme	Emacs

// modify line 163
var OPENVIDU_SERVER_URL = 'https://demos.openvidu.io'; // backend IP
var OPENVIDU_SERVER_SECRET = 'MY_SECRET'; // backend password

Start server.

Code Block

language	bash
theme	Emacs

http-server-ssl -S &

And you can access it through https://$your_host_IP:8080 on browser.
