# Digital Ocean
In this tutorial, we'll create a Kubernetes v1.13.0 cluster on DigitalOcean with Container Linux.
We'll declare a Kubernetes cluster using the Typhoon Terraform module. Then apply the changes to create controller droplets, worker droplets, DNS records, tags, and TLS assets.
Controllers are provisioned to run an `etcd-member` peer and a `kubelet` service. Workers run just a `kubelet` service. A one-time [bootkube](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/bootkube) bootstrap schedules the `apiserver`, `scheduler`, `controller-manager`, and `coredns` on controllers and schedules `kube-proxy` and `flannel` on every node. A generated `kubeconfig` provides `kubectl` access to the cluster.
## Requirements
* Digital Ocean Account and Token
* Digital Ocean Domain (registered Domain Name or delegated subdomain)
* Terraform v0.11.x and [terraform-provider-ct](https://github.com/coreos/terraform-provider-ct) installed locally
## Terraform Setup
Install [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html) v0.11.x on your system.
```sh
$ terraform version
Terraform v0.11.7
```
Add the [terraform-provider-ct](https://github.com/coreos/terraform-provider-ct) plugin binary for your system to `~/.terraform.d/plugins/`, noting the final name.
```sh
wget https://github.com/coreos/terraform-provider-ct/releases/download/v0.2.1/terraform-provider-ct-v0.2.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar xzf terraform-provider-ct-v0.2.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz
mv terraform-provider-ct-v0.2.1-linux-amd64/terraform-provider-ct ~/.terraform.d/plugins/terraform-provider-ct_v0.2.1
```
Read [concepts](/architecture/concepts/) to learn about Terraform, modules, and organizing resources. Change to your infrastructure repository (e.g. `infra`).
```
cd infra/clusters
```
## Provider
Login to [DigitalOcean](https://cloud.digitalocean.com) or create an [account](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/registrations/new), if you don't have one.
Generate a Personal Access Token with read/write scope from the [API tab](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/settings/api/tokens). Write the token to a file that can be referenced in configs.
```sh
mkdir -p ~/.config/digital-ocean
echo "TOKEN" > ~/.config/digital-ocean/token
```
Configure the DigitalOcean provider to use your token in a `providers.tf` file.
```tf
provider "digitalocean" {
version = "1.0.0"
token = "${chomp(file("~/.config/digital-ocean/token"))}"
alias = "default"
}
provider "ct" {
version = "0.2.1"
}
provider "local" {
version = "~> 1.0"
alias = "default"
}
provider "null" {
version = "~> 1.0"
alias = "default"
}
provider "template" {
version = "~> 1.0"
alias = "default"
}
provider "tls" {
version = "~> 1.0"
alias = "default"
}
```
## Cluster
Define a Kubernetes cluster using the module `digital-ocean/container-linux/kubernetes`.
```tf
module "digital-ocean-nemo" {
source = "git::https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon//digital-ocean/container-linux/kubernetes?ref=v1.13.0"
providers = {
digitalocean = "digitalocean.default"
local = "local.default"
null = "null.default"
template = "template.default"
tls = "tls.default"
}
# Digital Ocean
cluster_name = "nemo"
region = "nyc3"
dns_zone = "digital-ocean.example.com"
# configuration
ssh_fingerprints = ["d7:9d:79:ae:56:32:73:79:95:88:e3:a2:ab:5d:45:e7"]
asset_dir = "/home/user/.secrets/clusters/nemo"
# optional
worker_count = 2
worker_type = "s-1vcpu-1gb"
}
```
Reference the [variables docs](#variables) or the [variables.tf](https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/blob/master/digital-ocean/container-linux/kubernetes/variables.tf) source.
## ssh-agent
Initial bootstrapping requires `bootkube.service` be started on one controller node. Terraform uses `ssh-agent` to automate this step. Add your SSH private key to `ssh-agent`.
```sh
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
ssh-add -L
```
## Apply
Initialize the config directory if this is the first use with Terraform.
```sh
terraform init
```
Plan the resources to be created.
```sh
$ terraform plan
Plan: 54 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.
```
Apply the changes to create the cluster.
```sh
$ terraform apply
module.digital-ocean-nemo.null_resource.bootkube-start: Still creating... (30s elapsed)
module.digital-ocean-nemo.null_resource.bootkube-start: Provisioning with 'remote-exec'...
...
module.digital-ocean-nemo.null_resource.bootkube-start: Still creating... (6m20s elapsed)
module.digital-ocean-nemo.null_resource.bootkube-start: Creation complete (ID: 7599298447329218468)
Apply complete! Resources: 54 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
```
In 3-6 minutes, the Kubernetes cluster will be ready.
## Verify
[Install kubectl](https://coreos.com/kubernetes/docs/latest/configure-kubectl.html) on your system. Use the generated `kubeconfig` credentials to access the Kubernetes cluster and list nodes.
```
$ export KUBECONFIG=/home/user/.secrets/clusters/nemo/auth/kubeconfig
$ kubectl get nodes
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
nemo-controller-0 Ready controller,master 10m v1.13.0
nemo-worker-0 Ready node 10m v1.13.0
nemo-worker-1 Ready node 10m v1.13.0
```
List the pods.

## Going Further
Learn about [maintenance](/topics/maintenance/) and [addons](/addons/overview/).
!!! note
On Container Linux clusters, install the `CLUO` addon to coordinate reboots and drains when nodes auto-update. Otherwise, updates may not be applied until the next reboot.
## Variables
Check the [variables.tf](https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/blob/master/digital-ocean/container-linux/kubernetes/variables.tf) source.
### Required
| Name | Description | Example |
|:-----|:------------|:--------|
| cluster_name | Unique cluster name (prepended to dns_zone) | nemo |
| region | Digital Ocean region | nyc1, sfo2, fra1, tor1 |
| dns_zone | Digital Ocean domain (i.e. DNS zone) | do.example.com |
| ssh_fingerprints | SSH public key fingerprints | ["d7:9d..."] |
| asset_dir | Path to a directory where generated assets should be placed (contains secrets) | /home/user/.secrets/nemo |
#### DNS Zone
Clusters create DNS A records `${cluster_name}.${dns_zone}` to resolve to controller droplets (round robin). This FQDN is used by workers and `kubectl` to access the apiserver(s). In this example, the cluster's apiserver would be accessible at `nemo.do.example.com`.
You'll need a registered domain name or delegated subdomain in Digital Ocean Domains (i.e. DNS zones). You can set this up once and create many clusters with unique names.
```tf
resource "digitalocean_domain" "zone-for-clusters" {
name = "do.example.com"
# Digital Ocean oddly requires an IP here. You may have to delete the A record it makes. :(
ip_address = "8.8.8.8"
}
```
!!! tip ""
If you have an existing domain name with a zone file elsewhere, just delegate a subdomain that can be managed on DigitalOcean (e.g. do.mydomain.com) and [update nameservers](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-host-name-with-digitalocean).
#### SSH Fingerprints
DigitalOcean droplets are created with your SSH public key "fingerprint" (i.e. MD5 hash) to allow access. If your SSH public key is at `~/.ssh/id_rsa`, find the fingerprint with,
```bash
ssh-keygen -E md5 -lf ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | awk '{print $2}'
MD5:d7:9d:79:ae:56:32:73:79:95:88:e3:a2:ab:5d:45:e7
```
If you use `ssh-agent` (e.g. Yubikey for SSH), find the fingerprint with,
```
ssh-add -l -E md5
2048 MD5:d7:9d:79:ae:56:32:73:79:95:88:e3:a2:ab:5d:45:e7 cardno:000603633110 (RSA)
```
Digital Ocean requires the SSH public key be uploaded to your account, so you may also find the fingerprint under Settings -> Security. Finally, if you don't have an SSH key, [create one now](https://help.github.com/articles/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent/).
### Optional

| worker_count | Number of workers | 1 | 3 |
| controller_type | Droplet type for controllers | s-2vcpu-2gb | s-2vcpu-2gb, s-2vcpu-4gb, s-4vcpu-8gb, ... |
| worker_type | Droplet type for workers | s-1vcpu-1gb | s-1vcpu-1gb, s-1vcpu-2gb, s-2vcpu-2gb, ... |
| image | Container Linux image for instances | "coreos-stable" | coreos-stable, coreos-beta, coreos-alpha |
| controller_clc_snippets | Controller Container Linux Config snippets | [] | [example](/advanced/customization/) |
| worker_clc_snippets | Worker Container Linux Config snippets | [] | [example](/advanced/customization/) |
| pod_cidr | CIDR IPv4 range to assign to Kubernetes pods | "10.2.0.0/16" | "10.22.0.0/16" |
| service_cidr | CIDR IPv4 range to assign to Kubernetes services | "10.3.0.0/16" | "10.3.0.0/24" |
| cluster_domain_suffix | FQDN suffix for Kubernetes services answered by coredns. | "cluster.local" | "k8s.example.com" |
Check the list of valid [droplet types](https://developers.digitalocean.com/documentation/changelog/api-v2/new-size-slugs-for-droplet-plan-changes/) or use `doctl compute size list`.
!!! warning
Do not choose a `controller_type` smaller than 2GB. Smaller droplets are not sufficient for running a controller and bootstrapping will fail.
