rancher/k3d
k3d is a lightweight wrapper to run k3s (Rancher Lab's minimal Kubernetes distribution) in docker.
k3d makes it very easy to create single- and multi-node k3s clusters in docker, e.g. for local development on Kubernetes.
Quick Start
Create a cluster named mycluster
with just a single master node:
k3d create cluster mycluster
Get the new cluster's connection details merged into your default kubeconfig (usually specified using the KUBECONFIG
environment variable or the default path $HOME/.kube/config
) and directly switch to the new context:
k3d get kubeconfig mycluster --switch
Use the new cluster with kubectl
, e.g.:
kubectl get nodes
