Use an alternate CNI

K3S ships with Flannel, however sometimes you want an different CNI such as Calico, Canal or Weave Net. To do this you will need to disable Flannel with flannel-backend: "none", specify a cluster-cidr and add your CNI manifests to the k3s_server_manifests_templates.

Calico example

The below is based on the Calico quickstart documentation.

Steps:

  1. Download tigera-operator.yaml to the manifests directory.
  2. Download custom-resources.yaml to the manifests directory.
  3. Choose a cluster-cidr (we are using 192.168.0.0/16)
  4. Set k3s_server and k3s_server_manifest_templates as per the below, ensure the paths to manifests are correct for your project repo.
---

# K3S Server config, don't deploy flannel and set cluster pod CIDR.
k3s_server:
  cluster-cidr: 192.168.0.0/16
  flannel-backend: "none"

# Deploy the following k3s server templates.
k3s_server_manifests_templates:
  - "manifests/calico/tigera-operator.yaml"
  - "manifests/calico/custom-resources.yaml"

All nodes should come up as "Ready", below is a 3-node cluster:

Pods should be deployed with deployed within the CIDR specified in our config file.
