一、背景

Rancher HA有多种部署方式：

1. Helm HA安装，将Rancher部署在已有的Kubernetes集群中，Rancher将使用集群的etcd存储数据，并利用Kubernetes调度实现高可用性。
2. RKE HA安装，使用RKE工具安装独立的Kubernetes集群，专门用于Rancher HA部署运行，RKE HA安装仅支持Rancher v2.0.8以及之前的版本，Rancher v2.0.8之后的版本使用helm安装Rancher。
   本方案将基于已有的Kubernetes集群，利用Helm安装Rancher HA，并采用四层负载均衡方式。
   

   二、添加Chart仓库地址

   使用helm repo add命令添加Rancher chart仓库地址
   Rancher tag和Chart版本选择参考：https://www.cnrancher.com/docs/rancher/v2.x/cn/installation/server-tags/

   #替换<CHART_REPO>为您要使用的Helm仓库分支(即latest或stable）。 helm repo add rancher-stable https://releases.rancher.com/server-charts/stable

   三、使用自签名证书安装Rancher server

   Rancher server设计默认需要开启SSL/TLS配置来保证安全，将ssl证书以Kubernetes Secret卷的形式传递给rancher server或Ingress Controller。首先创建证书密文，以便Rancher和Ingress Controller可以使用。

   1、 生成自签名证书

   #脚本
   一键生成自签名证书脚本
   #执行脚本生成证书
   sh create_self-signed-cert.sh --ssl-domain=rancher.sumapay.com --ssl-trusted-ip=172.16.1.21,172.16.1.22 --ssl-size=2048 --ssl-date=3650

2、使用kubectl创建tls类型的secrets

#创建命名空间

[root@k8s-master03 ~]# kubectl create namespace cattle-system namespace/rancher-system created

#服务证书和私钥密文

[root@k8s-master03 self_CA]# kubectl -n cattle-system create secret tls tls-rancher-ingress --cert=./tls.crt --key=./tls.key secret/tls-rancher-ingress created

#ca证书密文

[root@k8s-master03 self_CA]# kubectl -n cattle-system create secret generic tls-ca --from-file=cacerts.pem secret/tls-ca created

3、安装rancher server

#使用helm安装rancher HA

[root@k8s-master03 ~]# helm install rancher-stable/rancher --name rancher2 --namespace cattle-system --set hostname=rancher.sumapay.com --set ingress.tls.source=secret --set privateCA=true NAME: rancher2 LAST DEPLOYED: Fri Apr 26 14:03:51 2019 NAMESPACE: cattle-system STATUS: DEPLOYED RESOURCES: ==> v1/ClusterRoleBinding NAME AGE rancher2 0s ==> v1/Deployment NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE rancher2 0/3 3 0 0s ==> v1/Pod(related) NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE rancher-55c884bbf7-2xqpl 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 0s rancher-55c884bbf7-bqvjh 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 0s rancher-55c884bbf7-hhlvh 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 0s ==> v1/Service NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE rancher2 ClusterIP 10.110.148.105 <none> 80/TCP 0s ==> v1/ServiceAccount NAME SECRETS AGE rancher2 1 0s ==> v1beta1/Ingress NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS AGE rancher2 rancher.sumapay.com 80, 443 0s NOTES: Rancher Server has been installed.

4、为Agent Pod添加主机别名(/etc/hosts)

如果你没有内部DNS服务器而是通过添加/etc/hosts主机别名的方式指定的Rancher server域名，那么不管通过哪种方式(自定义、导入、Host驱动等)创建K8S集群，K8S集群运行起来之后，因为cattle-cluster-agent Pod和cattle-node-agent无法通过DNS记录找到Rancher server,最终导致无法通信。

解决方法

可以通过给cattle-cluster-agent Pod和cattle-node-agent添加主机别名(/etc/hosts)，让其可以正常通信(前提是IP地址可以互通)。

#cattle-cluster-agent pod kubectl -n cattle-system \ patch deployments cattle-cluster-agent --patch '{ "spec": { "template": { "spec": { "hostAliases": [ { "hostnames": [ "rancher.sumapay.com" ], "ip": "四层负载均衡地址" } ] } } } }' #cattle-node-agent pod kubectl -n cattle-system \ patch daemonsets cattle-node-agent --patch '{ "spec": { "template": { "spec": { "hostAliases": [ { "hostnames": [ "rancher.sumapay.com" ], "ip": "四层负载均衡地址" } ] } } } }'

至此，rancher HA已部署完毕，由于不是NodePort形式，在没有部署ingress-controller情况下，我们还不能直接去访问rancher服务。
ingress-controller部署请参考traefik部署与使用。
