To install Cilium on k3s <https://rancher.com/docs/k3s/latest/en/quick-start/>_, perform the following steps:

Default Configuration:

=============== =============== ============== Datapath IPAM Datastore =============== =============== ============== Encapsulation Cluster Pool Kubernetes CRD =============== =============== ==============

Requirements:

  • Install your k3s cluster as you normally would but making sure to disable support for the default CNI plugin and the built-in network policy enforcer so you can install Cilium on top:

.. code-block:: shell-session

curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | INSTALL_K3S_EXEC='--flannel-backend=none --disable-network-policy' sh -
  • For the Cilium CLI to access the cluster in successive steps you will need to use the kubeconfig file stored at /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml by setting the KUBECONFIG environment variable:

.. code-block:: shell-session

export KUBECONFIG=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml
