Windows Configuration Steps

  1. Start by shrinking the current HDD and partitioning 100GB to install Ubuntu Desktop and additional tools.

    • Open disk management by searching create and format hard disk partitions within the start menu.
      • Right click on the hard drive you would like to shrink, select shrink, set the amount of space to shrink in MB (100GB Minimum) and select shrink.

  2. These instructions were created using the latest Ubuntu LTS Desktop image (22.04 LTS) from Ubuntu Desktop and configured flash drive for installation boot.

  3. Reboot your PC and install Ubuntu Desktop now we have an unallocated amount of space ready, and the boot drive configured from step 2.

  4. Upon Reboot, insert the USB drive, and install Ubuntu desktop on the newly allocated space.

Ubuntu Desktop Instructions

  1. Install essential tools for build and vagrant/virtualbox packages.

    Example:

    Adding hashicorp repo for most recent vagrant bits:

    curl -fsSL https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com/gpg | sudo apt-key add -;
sudo apt-add-repository \
    "deb [arch=amd64] https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com $(lsb_release -cs) main";
sudo apt-get update

    Installing packages:

    sudo apt install build-essential vagrant virtualbox virtualbox-ext-pack -y
sudo vagrant plugin install vagrant-reload vagrant-vbguest winrm winrm-elevated vagrant-ssh

  2. Create /etc/vbox/networks.conf to set the network bits:

    Example:

    sudo mkdir /etc/vbox
sudo vi /etc/vbox

* 10.0.0.0/8 192.168.0.0/16
* 2001::/64

  3. Clone the repo and build

    *Change directory to where you want the sig-windows-dev-tools to be installed:

    sudo apt install git;
git clone https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/sig-windows-dev-tools.git;
cd sig-windows-dev-tools;
mkdir -p tools/sync/shared;
touch tools/sync/shared/kubejoin.ps1;
sudo apt install make;
make all

  4. ssh to the virtual machines

    • Control Plane node (Linux):
    vagrant ssh controlplane
kubectl get pods -A
    • Windows node:
    vagrant ssh winw1

Now let's run it!
