It is hundreds of choices and if those choices aren't so great, then you'll have to constantly tinker to fix prior mistakes and perhaps correct issues that lost data.

Rolling your own doesn't have 1 set of instructions and 5 steps. You can do it, if you want and have purpose. Anyone can accomplish anything they want, if they are dedicated. People who need point-n-click, should probably find some NAS-storage distro or buy a commercial NAS.ĭoes that sound like you? Only you know if it does. Much prefer rolling my own NAS with Ubuntu Server for 1,000,000x more flexibility, but that does require intermediate-level Linux admin skills. Do you think following the right instructions I can roll it out without any third distro?

I'm trying to get my hands dirty and would like to create my home NAS. Maybe you already understood I'm a newby in ubuntu server and I'm close to zero in admin skills :D. I'm not sure but looks like I missed something during the VirtualBOX installation, or maybe I should install something more. Since I know Free NAS is based on BSD I choose 'Other OS' option. Login to each node and run the following commands to install docker, $ sudo apt updateĬreate the file ‘/etc/docker/daemon.json’ to fix cgroup error, add the following content to it.Just to understand better: When I create the VM it asked me which OS I was going to install on the VM. $ sudo hostnamectl set-hostname 'k8s-node-1' // Run this command on node-1Īdd the following entries in /etc/hosts files on each node, 192.168.1.40 k8s-masterġ92.168.1.42 k8s-node-1 Step 2) Install Docker (Container Runtime) on all 3 nodes $ sudo hostnamectl set-hostname 'k8s-node-0' // Run this command on node-0

Use hostnamectl command to set hostname on each node, example is shown below: $ sudo hostnamectl set-hostname 'k8s-master' // Run this command on master node Now let’s jump into the Kubernetes installation steps Step1) Set hostname and add entries in /etc/hosts file Following are the details of my lab setup:

Install virtualbox ubuntu 20.04 server
