Quick Start Guide
Browse to the latest release and download rke_darwin-amd64 for MacOS and rke_linux-amd64 if you use a Linux machine.
When you have downloaded the binary, you can make it executable by running chmod +x rke_darwin-amd64 or chmod +x rke_linux-amd64.
After, you can test if it's executable by running ./rke_darwin-amd64 -version or ./rke_linux-amd64 -version.
$ chmod +x rke_darwin-amd64
$ ./rke_darwin-amd64 -version
rke version v0.1.5The Kubernetes cluster components are launched using Docker on a Linux machine. You can use any Linux you want, as long as you can install Docker on it. The most commonly used OS is the current Ubuntu LTS release, 16.04. Kubernetes runs integration tests on the following Docker versions: 1.11.2 to 1.13.1, and 17.03.x. We follow these tested Docker versions by marking them as supported. To make installing Docker easy, we've created install-docker scripts. Pick the version you want to install and run the command in the Install Script column to install it.
| Version | Supported? | Install Script |
|---|---|---|
1.11.2 |
Yes | `curl https://releases.rancher.com/install-docker/1.11.sh |
1.12.6 |
Yes | `curl https://releases.rancher.com/install-docker/1.12.sh |
1.13.1 |
Yes | `curl https://releases.rancher.com/install-docker/1.13.sh |
17.03.2 |
Yes | `curl https://releases.rancher.com/install-docker/17.03.sh |
You can test if Docker is installed correctly by running docker version, it should show the client and server version.

Experimental: falseTo connect to the Kubernetes cluster, port TCP/6443 needs to be opened to the machine. If you are using an external firewall, make sure you have this opened between the machine you are using to run rke and the machine you are going to use in the cluster. If you are using iptables or firewalld, you can use the following commands:
Example opening port TCP/6443 using iptables
# Open TCP/6443 for all
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 6443 -j ACCEPT
# Open TCP/6443 for one specific IP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s your_ip_here --dport 6443 -j ACCEPTExample opening port TCP/6443 using firewalld
# Open TCP/6443 for all
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=6443/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload
# Open TCP/6443 for one specific IP
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-rich-rule='
rule family="ipv4"
source address="your_ip_here/32"
port protocol="tcp" port="6443" accept'
firewall-cmd --reloadFor this quick start, we will be configuring one machine. There are 3 roles you can define on a machine:
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| etcd | Keeps the state of your cluster and is the most important component in your cluster, single source of truth of your cluster. |
| controlplane | Responsible of running all the master components of your cluster, like the kube-apiserver, controller-manager and the scheduler. |
| worker | Workers will run the actual workloads. |
To create the cluster.yml, you can run ./rke_darwin-amd64 config or ./rke_linux-amd64 config. It will query you for all the information needed to build your cluster.

If you are satisfied with the configuration, you can start building your cluster by using ./rke_darwin-amd64 up or ./rke_linux-amd64 up.
$ ./rke_darwin-amd64 up

INFO[0101] Finished building Kubernetes cluster successfullyThe last line should read Finished building Kubernetes cluster successfully to indicate that your cluster is ready to use. A kubeconfig file has been written to kube_config_cluster.yml to be used to interact with your cluster.
The way you interact with your cluster is by the use of a binary called kubectl. Before we can issue commands to our cluster, we need to download the kubectl binary. Please follow the intructions on the Kubernetes documentation page to install kubectl. You can verify the installation of kubectl and the connection to the cluster using kubectl --kubeconfig kube_config_cluster.yml version.
$ kubectl --kubeconfig kube_config_cluster.yml version
