# DigitalOcean
In this tutorial, we'll create a Kubernetes v1.30.0 cluster on DigitalOcean with Flatcar 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.
Controller hosts are provisioned to run an `etcd-member` peer and a `kubelet` service. Worker hosts run a `kubelet` service. Controller nodes run `kube-apiserver`, `kube-scheduler`, `kube-controller-manager`, and `coredns`, while `kube-proxy` and `calico` (or `flannel`) run 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 v0.13.0+
## Terraform Setup
Install [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html) v0.13.0+ on your system.
```sh
$ terraform version
Terraform v1.0.0
```
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 if you don't have one, create an account with our [referral link](https://m.do.co/c/94a5a4e76387) to get free credits.
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" {
token = "${chomp(file("~/.config/digital-ocean/token"))}"
}
provider "ct" {}
terraform {
required_providers {
ct = {
source = "poseidon/ct"
version = "0.11.0"
}
digitalocean = {
source = "digitalocean/digitalocean"
version = "2.27.1"
}
}
}
```
### Flatcar Linux Images
Flatcar Linux publishes DigitalOcean images, but does not yet upload them. DigitalOcean allows [custom images](https://blog.digitalocean.com/custom-images/) to be uploaded via a URL or file.
Choose a Flatcar Linux [release](https://www.flatcar-linux.org/releases/) from Flatcar's file [server](https://stable.release.flatcar-linux.net/amd64-usr/). Copy the URL to the `flatcar_production_digitalocean_image.bin.bz2`, import it into DigitalOcean, and name it as a custom image. Add a data reference to the image in Terraform:
```tf
data "digitalocean_image" "flatcar-stable-3227-2-0" {
name = "flatcar-stable-3227.2.0.bin.bz2"
}
```
Set the [os_image](#variables) in the next step.
## Cluster
Define a Kubernetes cluster using the module `digital-ocean/flatcar-linux/kubernetes`.
```tf
module "nemo" {
source = "git::https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon//digital-ocean/flatcar-linux/kubernetes?ref=v1.30.0"
# Digital Ocean
cluster_name = "nemo"
region = "nyc3"
dns_zone = "digital-ocean.example.com"
# configuration
os_image = data.digitalocean_image.flatcar-stable-2303-4-0.id
ssh_fingerprints = ["d7:9d:79:ae:56:32:73:79:95:88:e3:a2:ab:5d:45:e7"]
# optional
worker_count = 2
}
```
Reference the [variables docs](#variables) or the [variables.tf](https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/blob/master/digital-ocean/flatcar-linux/kubernetes/variables.tf) source.
## ssh-agent
Initial bootstrapping requires `bootstrap.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.nemo.null_resource.bootstrap: Still creating... (30s elapsed)
module.nemo.null_resource.bootstrap: Provisioning with 'remote-exec'...
...
module.nemo.null_resource.bootstrap: Still creating... (6m20s elapsed)
module.nemo.null_resource.bootstrap: Creation complete (ID: 7599298447329218468)
Apply complete! Resources: 42 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
```
In 3-6 minutes, the Kubernetes cluster will be ready.
## Verify
[Install kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/) on your system. Obtain the generated cluster `kubeconfig` from module outputs (e.g. write to a local file).
```
resource "local_file" "kubeconfig-nemo" {
content = module.nemo.kubeconfig-admin
filename = "/home/user/.kube/configs/nemo-config"
}
```
List nodes in the cluster.
```
$ export KUBECONFIG=/home/user/.kube/configs/nemo-config
$ kubectl get nodes

## Variables
Check the [variables.tf](https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon/blob/master/digital-ocean/flatcar-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" |
| os_image | Container Linux image for instances | "uploaded-flatcar-image-id" |
| ssh_fingerprints | SSH public key fingerprints | ["d7:9d..."] |
#### 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 DigitalOcean Domains (i.e. DNS zones). You can set this up once and create many clusters with unique names.
```tf
# Declare a DigitalOcean record to also create a zone file
resource "digitalocean_domain" "zone-for-clusters" {
name = "do.example.com"
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
| Name | Description | Default | Example |
|:-----|:------------|:--------|:--------|
| controller_count | Number of controllers (i.e. masters) | 1 | 1 |
| 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-2gb" | s-1vcpu-2gb, s-2vcpu-2gb, ... |
| controller_snippets | Controller Container Linux Config snippets | [] | [example](/advanced/customization/) |
| worker_snippets | Worker Container Linux Config snippets | [] | [example](/advanced/customization/) |
| networking | Choice of networking provider | "cilium" | "calico" or "cilium" or "flannel" |
| 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" |
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.
