$ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2
Unmount of all volumes on disk2 was successful

Networking

I went out of my way to have the servers join the network automatically so I could avoid ever needing a keyboard and monitor. I used Netplan and a run once startup script to apply it on the first boot.

Mount the newly imaged Ubuntu root filesystem to add the netplan file and startup script.

Note: This is a pain on macOS since it doesn't support ext3/4 natively. I ended up running an Ubuntu VM and passing through the USB device that had the SD card to be able to mount the filesystem.

01-wifis-config.yaml

cp 01-wifis-config.yaml /sd-root-filesystem/etc/netplan/ chmod 644 /sd-root-filesystem/etc/netplan/01-wifis-config.yaml

netplan-apply.sh

cp netplan-apply.sh /sd-root-filesystem/etc/init.d/ chmod 755 /sd-root-filesystem/etc/init.d/netplan-apply.sh

Run Prereqs

Ansible Role

First Run:

ansible-playbook -bk -i inventory/k3s -u ubuntu playbooks/setup.yaml

You can run as your user after the first run:

ansible-playbook -b -i inventory/k3s playbooks/setup.yaml

Install k3s using k3sup

https://github.com/alexellis/k3sup

Run k3s-bootstrap.sh

echo "export KUBECONFIG=`pwd`/kubeconfig"

kubectl get nodes -o wide

Uninstall k3s

ansible-playbook -b -i inventory/k3s playbooks/uninstall.yaml
