TIP

EdgeMesh isn't really depending on KubeEdge, it interacts with standard Kubernetes APIs only
Regarding the fact that edge nodes may be isolated in different edge network, we are benefiting from "autonomic Kube-API endpoint" feature to simplify the setup

Helm Installation

Step 1: Modify KubeEdge Configuration

Refer to Manual Installation-Step 3 to modify the configuration of KubeEdge.

Step 2: Install Charts

Make sure you have installed Helm 3

$ helm install edgemesh \
--set server.nodeName=<your node name> \
--set server.advertiseAddress="{your edgemesh server adveritise address list, such as node eip}" \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubeedge/edgemesh/main/build/helm/edgemesh.tgz

server.nodeName specifies the node deployed by edgemesh-server, and server.advertiseAddress specifies the edgemesh-server advertise address list and use commas to separate IP, such as {119.8.211.54,100.10.1.4}. The server.advertiseAddress can be omitted, because edgemesh-server will automatically detect and configure the advertiseAddress list, but it is not guaranteed to be correct.

Example：

$ helm install edgemesh \
--set server.nodeName=k8s-node1 \
--set server.advertiseAddress="{119.8.211.54}" \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubeedge/edgemesh/main/build/helm/edgemesh.tgz

WARNING

Please set server.nodeName and server.advertiseAddress according to your K8s cluster, otherwise edgemesh-server may not run

Step 3: Check it out

Manual Installation

Step 1: Download EdgeMesh

$ git clone https://github.com/kubeedge/edgemesh.git
$ cd edgemesh

Step 2: Create CRDs

$ kubectl apply -f build/crds/istio/
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/destinationrules.networking.istio.io created
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/gateways.networking.istio.io created
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/virtualservices.networking.istio.io created

Step 3: Modify KubeEdge Configuration

(1) Enable Local APIServer

On the cloud, open the dynamicController module, and restart cloudcore

$ vim /etc/kubeedge/config/cloudcore.yaml
modules:
  ..
  dynamicController:
    enable: true
..

# If cloudcore is not configured for systemd management, use the following command to restart (cloudcore is not configured for systemd management by default)
$ pkill cloudcore ; nohup /usr/local/bin/cloudcore > /var/log/kubeedge/cloudcore.log 2>&1 &

# If cloudcore is configured for systemd management, use the following command to restart
$ systemctl restart cloudcore

At the edge node, open metaServer module (if your KubeEdge < 1.8.0, you also need to close edgeMesh module)

$ vim /etc/kubeedge/config/edgecore.yaml
modules:
  ..
  edgeMesh:
    enable: false
  ..
  metaManager:
    metaServer:
      enable: true
..

(2) Configure clusterDNS and clusterDomain

At the edge node, configure clusterDNS, clusterDomain and restart edgecore

$ vim /etc/kubeedge/config/edgecore.yaml
modules:
  ..
  edged:
    clusterDNS: 169.254.96.16
    clusterDomain: cluster.local
..

$ systemctl restart edgecore

TIP

The value '169.254.96.16' set by clusterDNS comes from the default value of dummyDeviceIP in commonConfig, if you need to modify it, please keep the two consistent

(3) Check it out

At the edge node, check if Local APIServer works

$ curl 127.0.0.1:10550/api/v1/services
{"apiVersion":"v1","items":[{"apiVersion":"v1","kind":"Service","metadata":{"creationTimestamp":"2021-04-14T06:30:05Z","labels":{"component":"apiserver","provider":"kubernetes"},"name":"kubernetes","namespace":"default","resourceVersion":"147","selfLink":"default/services/kubernetes","uid":"55eeebea-08cf-4d1a-8b04-e85f8ae112a9"},"spec":{"clusterIP":"10.96.0.1","ports":[{"name":"https","port":443,"protocol":"TCP","targetPort":6443}],"sessionAffinity":"None","type":"ClusterIP"},"status":{"loadBalancer":{}}},{"apiVersion":"v1","kind":"Service","metadata":{"annotations":{"prometheus.io/port":"9153","prometheus.io/scrape":"true"},"creationTimestamp":"2021-04-14T06:30:07Z","labels":{"k8s-app":"kube-dns","kubernetes.io/cluster-service":"true","kubernetes.io/name":"KubeDNS"},"name":"kube-dns","namespace":"kube-system","resourceVersion":"203","selfLink":"kube-system/services/kube-dns","uid":"c221ac20-cbfa-406b-812a-c44b9d82d6dc"},"spec":{"clusterIP":"10.96.0.10","ports":[{"name":"dns","port":53,"protocol":"UDP","targetPort":53},{"name":"dns-tcp","port":53,"protocol":"TCP","targetPort":53},{"name":"metrics","port":9153,"protocol":"TCP","targetPort":9153}],"selector":{"k8s-app":"kube-dns"},"sessionAffinity":"None","type":"ClusterIP"},"status":{"loadBalancer":{}}}],"kind":"ServiceList","metadata":{"resourceVersion":"377360","selfLink":"/api/v1/services"}}

Step 4: Deploy edgemesh-server

$ kubectl apply -f build/server/edgemesh/
serviceaccount/edgemesh-server created
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/edgemesh-server created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/edgemesh-server created

WARNING

Please set the value of build/server/edgemesh/04-configmap.yaml's advertiseAddress and build/server/edgemesh/05-deployment.yaml's nodeName according to your K8s cluster, otherwise edgemesh-server may not run

Step 5: Deploy edgemesh-agent

$ kubectl apply -f build/agent/kubernetes/edgemesh-agent/
serviceaccount/edgemesh-agent created
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/edgemesh-agent created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/edgemesh-agent created
