KubeVPN

中文 | English | Wiki

KubeVPN offers a Cloud-Native Dev Environment that seamlessly connects to your Kubernetes cluster network.

Gain access to the Kubernetes cluster network effortlessly using service names or Pod IP/Service IP. Facilitate the interception of inbound traffic from remote Kubernetes cluster services to your local PC through a service mesh and more.

For instance, you have the flexibility to run your Kubernetes pod within a local Docker container, ensuring an identical environment, volume, and network setup. With KubeVPN, empower yourself to develop applications entirely on your local PC!

seems good too~

Domain resolve

support k8s dns name resolve.

a Pod/Service named productpage in the default namespace can successfully resolve by following name:

➜  ~ curl productpage.default.svc.cluster.local:9080
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Simple Bookstore App</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

Short domain resolve

To access the service in the cluster, service name or you can use the short domain name, such as productpage

➜  ~ curl productpage:9080
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Simple Bookstore App</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
...

Disclaimer: This only works on the namespace where kubevpn-traffic-manager is deployed. Otherwise, use Domain resolve

For local testing, save the following code as hello.go

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"io"
	"net/http"
)

func main() {
	http.HandleFunc("/", func(writer http.ResponseWriter, request *http.Request) {
		_, _ = io.WriteString(writer, "Hello world!")
		fmt.Printf(">>Received request: %s %s from %s\n", request.Method, request.RequestURI, request.RemoteAddr)
	})
	_ = http.ListenAndServe(":9080", nil)
}

and compile it

go build hello.go

then run it

./hello &
export selector=productpage
export pod=`kubectl get pods -l app=${selector} -n default -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}'`
export pod_ip=`kubectl get pod $pod -n default -o jsonpath='{.status.podIP}'`
curl -v -H "foo: bar" http://$pod_ip:9080/health

response would like below

Reverse proxy with mesh

Support HTTP, GRPC and WebSocket etc. with specific header "foo: bar" will route to your local machine

first access without header "foo: bar", it will access existing pod on kubernetes cluster.

➜  ~ curl productpage:9080

➜  ~ curl productpage:9080 -H "foo: bar"
>>Received request: GET / from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:51296
Hello world!  

If you want to cancel proxy, just run command:

You can see that it will start up two containers with docker, mapping to pod two container, and share port with same network, you can use localhost:port to access another container. And more, all environment、volume and network are the same as remote kubernetes pod, it is truly consistent with the kubernetes runtime. Makes develop on local PC come true.

Here is how to access pod in local docker container

export authors_pod=`kubectl get pods -l app=authors -n default -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}'`
export authors_pod_ip=`kubectl get pod $authors_pod -n default -o jsonpath='{.status.podIP}'`
curl -kv -H "foo: bar" http://$authors_pod_ip:80/health

Verify logs of nginx container

docker logs $(docker ps --format '{{.Names}}' | grep nginx_default_kubevpn)

If you just want to start up a docker image, you can use a simple way like this:

kubevpn dev deployment/authors --no-proxy

Now the main process will hang up to show you log.

If you want to specify the image to start the container locally, you can use the parameter --dev-image. When the image does not exist locally, it will be pulled from the corresponding mirror warehouse. If you want to specify startup parameters, you can use --entrypoint parameter, replace it with the command you want to execute, such as --entrypoint /bin/bash, for more parameters, see kubevpn dev --help.

DinD ( Docker in Docker ) use kubevpn in Docker

If you want to start the development mode locally using Docker in Docker (DinD), because the program will read and write the /tmp directory, you need to manually add the parameter -v /tmp:/tmp (outer docker) and another thing is you need to special parameter --network (inner docker) for sharing network and pid

Example:

docker run -it --privileged --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /tmp:/tmp -v ~/.kube/config:/root/.kube/config --platform linux/amd64 naison/kubevpn:latest

FAQ

1, What should I do if the dependent image cannot be pulled, or the inner environment cannot access docker.io?

Answer: here are two solutions to solve this problem

➜  ~ kubevpn version
KubeVPN: CLI
    Version: v2.0.0
    Daemon: v2.0.0
    Image: docker.io/naison/kubevpn:v2.0.0
    Branch: feature/daemon
    Git commit: 7c3a87e14e05c238d8fb23548f95fa1dd6e96936
    Built time: 2023-09-30 22:01:51
    Built OS/Arch: darwin/arm64
    Built Go version: go1.20.5

Image is docker.io/naison/kubevpn:v2.0.0, transfer this image to private docker registry

docker pull docker.io/naison/kubevpn:v2.0.0
docker tag docker.io/naison/kubevpn:v2.0.0 [docker registry]/[namespace]/[repo]:[tag]
docker push [docker registry]/[namespace]/[repo]:[tag]

Then you can use this image, as follows:

➜  ~ kubevpn connect --image [docker registry]/[namespace]/[repo]:[tag]

This is because of your docker-desktop required resource is less than pod running request resource, it OOM killed, so you can add more resource in your docker-desktop setting Preferences --> Resources --> Memory

3, Using WSL( Windows Sub Linux ) Docker, when use mode kubevpn dev, can not connect to cluster network, how to solve this problem?

Answer:

this is because WSL'Docker using Windows's Network, so if even start a container in WSL, this container will not use WSL network, but use Windows network

Solution:

4,After use command kubevpn dev enter develop mode,but can't assess kubernetes api-server,occur error 172.17.0.1:443 connect refusued,how to solve this problem?

Answer:

Maybe k8s network subnet is conflict with docker subnet

Solution:

➜  ~ cat ~/.docker/daemon.json
{
  "builder": {
    "gc": {
      "defaultKeepStorage": "20GB",
      "enabled": true
    }
  },
  "experimental": false,
  "features": {
    "buildkit": true
  },
  "insecure-registries": [
  ],
}

add subnet not conflict, eg: 172.15.0.1/24

➜  ~ cat ~/.docker/daemon.json
{
  "builder": {
    "gc": {
      "defaultKeepStorage": "20GB",
      "enabled": true
    }
  },
  "experimental": false,
  "features": {
    "buildkit": true
  },
  "insecure-registries": [
  ],
  "bip": "172.15.0.1/24"
}

restart docker and retry
