Install Script
K3s provides an installation script that is a convenient way to install it as a service on systemd or openrc based systems. This script is available at https://get.k3s.io. To install K3s using this method, just run:
curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sh -
After running this installation:
- The K3s service will be configured to automatically restart after node reboots or if the process crashes or is killed
- Additional utilities will be installed, including kubectl, crictl, ctr, k3s-killall.sh, and k3s-uninstall.sh
- A kubeconfig file will be written to /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml and the kubectl installed by K3s will automatically use it
