+
+=== "Before installation"
+
+    The default installation of K3s creates a single-node cluster.
+    If you want to have a multi-node setup, you need to configure the nodes to speak to the others.
+
+    In `/boot/dietpi.txt`, edit the `SOFTWARE_K3S_EXEC` parameter to set command (`server` or `agent`).
+    You can add other command-line parameters after the command.
+
+    Example:
+
+    ```
+    SOFTWARE_K3S_EXEC=server --disable=local-storage
+    ```
+
+    If you need to add many command-line parameters, it is recommended to put them in a file instead, 
+    keeping only the command (`server` or `agent`) in `/boot/dietpi.txt`.
+    During installation, if `/boot/dietpi-k3s.yaml` exists, it is copied to `/etc/rancher/k3s/config.yaml`, and used by K3s.
+    The format of this file is documented in the [K3s docs](https://rancher.com/docs/k3s/latest/en/installation/install-options/#configuration-file).
+
+=== "Connecting to your cluster"
+
+    When running in `server` mode, K3s generates a kubeconfig file at `/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml`.
+    Copy this to your client machine, and edit the `server` setting to point to the hostname of the server.
+
+    Place the file in the default location (`~/.kube/config`), or point to it using the `KUBECONFIG` environment-variable.
+
+    You should now be able to interact with your Kubernetes cluster using `kubectl`:
+
+    ```
+    kubectl get nodes
+    kubectl get pods -A
+    ```
+
+=== "View logs"
+
+    - Service: `journalctl -u k3s`
