How to Install Kubernetes on Ubuntu 22.04 on Single Node

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration system. It simplifies the automation of software deployment, scaling, and management. Let’s take a look at how to set up Kubernetes on Ubuntu 22.04:

1. First, we have to make sure the system packages are up to date:

   sudo apt update
2. As Kubernetes needs Docker to manage containers, we have to install it with this command:

   sudo apt install docker.io -y
3. Then, start the Docker service and enable it to run on startup:

   sudo systemctl start docker
   
   sudo systemctl enable docker
   
   
4. Next, check the status of Docker to confirm it’s running properly:

   sudo systemctl status docker

5. Now, it is time to add the Kubernetes signing key. So, create a directory for the keyrings:

   sudo mkdir /etc/apt/keyrings

   Then, add the Kubernetes signing key:

   curl -fsSL https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/kubernetes-archive-keyring.gpg
   
   
6. After that, add the Kubernetes repository:

   echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/kubernetes-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.kubernetes.io/ kubernetes-xenial main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubernetes.list
7. Then, update the package list and install Kubernetes components:

   sudo apt-get update
   
   sudo apt install kubeadm kubelet kubectl -y
   
   
8. Furthermore, we can prevent automatic updates that may disrupt your setup by marking the Kubernetes packages:

   sudo apt-mark hold kubeadm kubelet kubectl
9. Finally, check the installed Kubernetes version:

   kubeadm version
10. To ensure the cluster is set up correctly, check the nodes and pods:

    kubectl get nodes
    
    kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
    
    

Following the above steps, we can install and configure Kubernetes on our Ubuntu 22.04 system.
