k0s Arch notes

k0s-arch.md

Arch can run k0s in a relatively stable way.

Initial setup requires:

• Installing htop, openssh, nano, dhcpcd.
• Manually adding localhost in /etc/hosts.
• Setting the node's hostname in /etc/hostname.

Enable core services:

systemctl enable dhcpcd
systemctl enable sshd

Next, configure /etc/systemd/journald.conf so that logs get stored in memory only.

Storage=volatile
RuntimeMaxUse=32M

Remove stale logs

rm -rfv /var/log/journal

Configure flux

flux bootstrap git \
  --url=ssh://git@<GIT-REPO>:9022/vacco/k0s-lab.git \
  --branch=main \
  --path=<CLUSTER-NAME>

Initial cluster setup steps work as expected in the k0s website.
