pelican-k8s

The Pelican game panel in a k8s cluster

Installation

Dependencies

On your k8s cluster, be sure to have thoses dependencies installed and configured :

• Traefik
• Cert-Manager
• Any default volume provider

Configuration

You can adjust your settings in the directory k8s/overlays/production/config/ and change any <VARIABLE> with your own values.

! Important !

In k8s/overlays/production/resources/wings.yaml, change the value of spec.replicas to the number of nodes you have.

In the file k8s/overlays/production/resources/ingress.yaml, change the value of spec.rules.host with your own domain name.

Deployment

To deploy your game panel, run this command :

kubectl apply -k ./k8s/overlays/production/

That will deploy the requested ressources to your cluster.

But that will not create the wings into the pelican panel. Until I'll get more time to write an automatic script for that, you'll need to do it manually.

Go to your panel and add a new node like this image :

When that's done, got to the Configuration file tab of that page and copy the content of the /etc/pelican/config.yml.

On your terminal you'll need to connect to your wings pod to create the configuration file, do it with this command :

kubectl exec -itnpelican pods/wings-0 -c waiting-config -- vi /etc/pelican/config.yml

Press I so you go into Insert mode, then paste the content of your configuration file and press ESC to exit Insert mode. Then type :wq to save and exit the file.

The pod will exist the waiting-config state to start the docker and wings containers.

You'll need to do that for every wings nodes you have.
