In a previous article, I shared with you the steps I took, to get k3s installed (with the Kubernetes Dashboard) on top of an Ubuntu guest Operating System within an Oracle VirtualBox appliance, with the help of Vagrant.
[ https://technology.amis.nl/2020/01/15/rapidly-spinning-up-a-vm-with-ubuntu-and-k3s-with-the-kubernetes-dashboard-on-my-windows-laptop-using-vagrant-and-oracle-virtualbox/]
For training and demo purposes, I wanted to add mysql to my k3s demo environment and in order to test the environment, I also wanted to include the book service (RESTful Web Service Spring Boot application) that I created earlier and ran in Minikube.
[https://technology.amis.nl/2019/03/05/using-a-restful-web-service-spring-boot-application-in-minikube-together-with-an-external-dockerized-mysql-database/]
I also wanted to create my own prepackaged Vagrant Box from an existing virtual machine (a re-usable box).
[https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/boxes/base.html]
[https://scotch.io/tutorials/how-to-create-a-vagrant-base-box-from-an-existing-one]
In this article I will share with you the steps I took to get it all working. For example, I had to get my Docker built images working with the containerd container runtime in k3s.
In my existing demo environment, created when I wrote a previous article , I changed the content of the Vagrantfile to:
[https://technology.amis.nl/2020/01/15/rapidly-spinning-up-a-vm-with-ubuntu-and-k3s-with-the-kubernetes-dashboard-on-my-windows-laptop-using-vagrant-and-oracle-virtualbox/]
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "ubuntu/bionic64"
config.vm.define "ubuntu_k3s" do |ubuntu_k3s|
config.vm.network "forwarded_port",

vb.memory = "8192"
vb.cpus = "1"

end
end
end
Here, you can see I added the extra ports needed for the book service (RESTful Web Service Spring Boot application).
From the subdirectory named env on my Windows laptop, I opened a Windows Command Prompt (cmd) and typed: vagrant box update
This command updates the box for the current Vagrant environment if there are updates available. The command can also update a specific box (outside of an active Vagrant environment), by specifying the –box flag.
[https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/cli/box.html#box-update]
With the following output:
From the subdirectory named env on my Windows laptop, I opened a Windows Command Prompt (cmd) and typed: vagrant up
This command creates and configures guest machines according to your Vagrantfile.

ubuntu_k3s: **** End preparing dashboard
In the Web Browser on my Windows laptop, I started the Kubernetes Dashboard (http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy) and I entered the value for the token (as can be seen above) and clicked on button “Sign in”.
The Kubernetes Dashboard was opened with the default namespace selected.
So far so good. This was working. Time to make a re-usable box.
Making re-usable box my_ubuntu_k3s
On my Windows laptop, in the env directory I created a directory myboxes with a subdirectory my_ubuntu_k3s and a subdirectory my_ubuntu_k3s_mysql.
I copied the current version of the Vagrantfile to the directory myboxes/my_ubuntu_k3s.
Next, I typed the following command on the Windows Command Prompt (cmd):
vagrant package –output my_ubuntu_k3s.box
This command packages a currently running VirtualBox or Hyper-V environment into a re-usable box.
–output NAME – The resulting package will be saved as NAME. By default, it will be saved as package.box.
[https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/cli/package.html]
With the following output:
I moved my_ubuntu_k3s.box to the directory myboxes/my_ubuntu_k3s.
In Oracle VirtualBox I could see that the VM was Powered Off.
Next, I changed the content of the Vagrantfile to use the re-usable box:
[in bold, I highlighted the changes]
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "my_ubuntu_k3s"
config.vm.define "ubuntu_k3s_mysql" do |ubuntu_k3s_mysql|

auto_correct: true
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
vb.name = "Ubuntu k3s mysql"
vb.memory = "8192"
vb.cpus = "1"
end
end
end
From the subdirectory named env on my Windows laptop, I opened a Windows Command Prompt (cmd) and typed: vagrant up
With the following output:
Couldn’t open file C:/My/AMIS/env/my_ubuntu_k3s
This error could be expected because up till now I only created the box file.
Next, I typed the following command on the Windows Command Prompt (cmd):
This command lists all the boxes that are installed into Vagrant.
[https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/cli/box.html#box-list]
With the following output:
In order to add my own box, I typed the following command on the Windows Command Prompt (cmd):
vagrant box add –name my_ubuntu_k3s myboxes/my_ubuntu_k3s/my_ubuntu_k3s.box
This adds a box with the given address to Vagrant.
[https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/cli/box.html#box-add]

Again, from the subdirectory named env on my Windows laptop, I opened a Windows Command Prompt (cmd) and typed: vagrant up
With the following output:
So, creating an Oracle VirtualBox appliance based on my re-usable box my_ubuntu_k3s worked.
Adding mysql to the appliance
Next step is to add mysql to the appliance. Of course, I already had a script in please to add mysql, because of a previous article I wrote.
[https://technology.amis.nl/2019/03/05/using-a-restful-web-service-spring-boot-application-in-minikube-together-with-an-external-dockerized-mysql-database/]
That script uses a particular namespace, namely: nl-amis-testing. So first I tried another script that I also created previously to create namespaces that I needed. That script uses helm.
I used vagrant ssh to connect into the running VM.
Then I started the namespaces.sh script to install the namespaces (using helm) and got the following error message:
Error: Kubernetes cluster unreachable
I needed to repeat a command present in my helm.sh script that I ran previously in order to make the Kubernetes cluster reachable with helm 3.0.
kubectl config view --raw >~/.kube/config
And by the way, I also wanted to try out using a kubeconfig file to sign in, to the Kubernetes Dashboard.
So, I copied the config file to my Windows laptop (via the shared folder):
cat ~/.kube/config cp ~/.kube/config /vagrant/kubeconfig
I also noticed that in the Web Browser on my Windows laptop, the Kubernetes Dashboard couldn’t be reached.
I needed to repeat the following command present in my dashboard.sh script:
kubectl proxy --address='0.0.0.0' </dev/null &>/dev/null &
In the scripts directory I therefor created a file commands.sh with the following content:
#!/bin/bash echo "**** Begin running commands" # Wait 2 minutes echo "**** Waiting 2 minutes ..." sleep 120 #Make Kubernetes cluster reachable with helm 3.0 kubectl config view --raw >~/.kube/config cat ~/.kube/config cp ~/.kube/config /vagrant/kubeconfig kubectl proxy --address='0.0.0.0' </dev/null &>/dev/null & echo "**** End running commands"
I also had to make some changes to my existing script files.
- In namespaces.sh, using
helm install ./namespace-chart –name namespace-release
resulted in the following:
Error: unknown flag: –name
So, I changed it to: helm install namespace-release ./namespace-chart
- In mysql.sh, using
helm install ./mysql-chart –name mysql-release
resulted in the following:
Error: unknown flag: –name
So, I changed it to: helm install mysql-release ./mysql-chart
So, I changed the content of Vagrantfile to:

So again, creating an Oracle VirtualBox appliance based on my re-usable box my_ubuntu_k3s_mysql worked.
Adding the book service to the appliance
Next step is to add the book service (RESTful Web Service Spring Boot application) that I created earlier and ran in Minikube, to the appliance. Of course, I already had a script in please to add them, because of a previous article I wrote.
[https://technology.amis.nl/2019/03/05/using-a-restful-web-service-spring-boot-application-in-minikube-together-with-an-external-dockerized-mysql-database/]
I used vagrant ssh to connect into the running VM.
Then I started the docker.sh script and the booksservices.sh script to create Docker images and install the different versions of the book service (using helm).
I had to make some changes to my existing script files.
- In booksservices.sh, using
helm install ./booksservice-chart –name booksservice-release
resulted in the following:
Error: unknown flag: –name
So, I changed it to: helm install booksservice-release ./booksservice-chart
- In booksservices.sh, using
echo "**** Determine the IP of the minikube node"
nodeIP=$(kubectl get node minikube -o yaml | grep address: | grep -E -o "([0-9]{1,3}[\.]){3}[0-9]{1,3}")
echo "---$nodeIP---"
resulted in the following:
Error from server (NotFound): nodes “minikube” not found
So, I changed it to:
echo "**** Determine the IP of the k3s node"
nodeIP=$(kubectl get node ubuntu-bionic -o yaml | grep address: | grep -E -o "([0-9]{1,3}[\.]){3}[0-9]{1,3}")
echo "---$nodeIP---"
I also changed the text minikube into k3s.
- In booksservices.sh, using
mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -uroot -ppassword -e “show databases;”
resulted in the following:
Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘127.0.0.1’
So, I needed to repeat a command present in my mysql.sh script that I ran previously in order to make the mysql server reachable:
echo "**** Forward local port 3306 to port 3306 on the mysql-service service" kubectl port-forward service/mysql-service 3306 --namespace nl-amis-testing </dev/null &>/dev/null &
After applying these changes, I noticed the following in the output:
A quick look in the Kubernetes Dashboard revealed the same ImagePullBackOff issue:
I opened the log from the first Pod, and saw the reason behind the problem:
Why k3s could not find the image I created using Docker
Apparently k3s could not find the image I created using Docker. So, I looked at the k3s documentation. It turns out that the containerd runtime is used and not Docker.
K3s includes and defaults to containerd, an industry-standard container runtime. If you want to use Docker instead of containerd then you simply need to run the agent with the –docker flag.
[https://rancher.com/docs/k3s/latest/en/advanced/#using-docker-as-the-container-runtime]
There for, I used the following command on the Linux Command Prompt:
docker image ls
With the following output:
Next, I used the following command on the Linux Command Prompt:
sudo k3s crictl images
With the following output:
I wanted to stay with the default and leave containerd as runtime. After some search on the Internet I found a solution, that worked for me.
[https://blog.scottlowe.org/2020/01/25/manually-loading-container-images-with-containerd/]
On my Windows laptop, in the env directory I created a directory docker_images.
Next, I used the following command on the Linux Command Prompt:
docker save booksservice:v1.0 -o /vagrant/docker_images/booksservice_v1.0.tar sudo ctr -n=k8s.io images import /vagrant/docker_images/booksservice_v1.0.tar
With the following output:
Followed by, the following command on the Linux Command Prompt:
docker save booksservice:v2.0 -o /vagrant/docker_images/booksservice_v2.0.tar sudo ctr -n=k8s.io images import /vagrant/docker_images/booksservice_v2.0.tar
With the following output:
I looked at the content of directory docker_images:
Next, I used the following command on the Linux Command Prompt:
sudo k3s crictl images
With the following output:
A quick look in the Kubernetes Dashboard revealed to me that things were better looking:
Remark:
Remember that I wanted to try out using a kubeconfig file to sign in, to the Kubernetes Dashboard. And that I copied the config file to my Windows laptop (via the shared folder). Unfortunately, that didn’t work and I left finding out way for some other time. For now, working with the token as a workaround, was fine.

Then, I changed the content of Vagrantfile to:

end
end
In order to stop the running machine and destroy its resources, I used the following command on the Windows Command Prompt: vagrant destroy
With the following output:
ubuntu_k3s_mysql_services: Are you sure you want to destroy the ‘ubuntu_k3s_mysql_services’ VM? [y/N] y
==> ubuntu_k3s_mysql_services: Forcing shutdown of VM…
==> ubuntu_k3s_mysql_services: Destroying VM and associated drives…
From the subdirectory named env on my Windows laptop, I opened a Windows Command Prompt (cmd) and typed: vagrant up
With the following output (only showing the last part):
On my Windows laptop, from Postman I invoked a request named “GetAllBooksRequest” (with method “GET” and URL “http://locahost:9110/books”) and a response with “Status 200 OK” was shown:
As a final step I checked the contents of the book table.
I used vagrant ssh to connect into the running VM. Next, I used the following command on the Linux Command Prompt:
mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -uroot -ppassword -e "use test; select * from book;"
With the following output:
As you can see, both books that I added (via my booksservices.sh script), were returned from the catalog.
With these final checks I conclude this article. I shared with you the steps I took, to add mysql to my k3s demo environment and in order to test the environment, I also included the book service (RESTful Web Service Spring Boot application) that I created earlier and ran in Minikube.
With some minor changes to my existing script files I was able to get everything working. I showed you, how I was able to get my Docker built images working with the containerd, which is included and the default industry-standard container runtime in k3s.
I also showed you how I created my own prepackaged Vagrant Box from an existing virtual machine (a re-usable box).
