Tracking issues and fixes in related projects

[nsoffer (Nir Soffer)]

I hoped I could run kubernetes clusters for testing on my Asahi Linux MacBook but we are not there yet.

Sharing few issues and fixes I posted to related projects. Feel free to review if you are interested in these projects.

I think they are not Ashai or Fedora specific issues, but with Ashai Linux we have an easy way to get a powerful Linux Arm machine so people are likely to hit these issues.

Do we have a better way to track these issues? Maybe in Asahi wiki?

Minikube

• Minikube cluster using kvm2 driver is broken on linux/aarch64 · Issue #18238 · kubernetes/minikube · GitHub
  fixed by kvm2 driver: Use scsi cdrom for arm64 by nirs · Pull Request #18239 · kubernetes/minikube · GitHub
• Starting more than one cluster fails on linux/aarch64 · Issue #18240 · kubernetes/minikube · GitHub
  fixed by kvm2 driver: Remove uneeded nvram element by nirs · Pull Request #18241 · kubernetes/minikube · GitHub

With these changes I could create a complex multi-clsuter environment with rook-ceph storage and rbd-mirroring, so minikube seems to be fine on Ashai Linux.

Submariner

• Install script fail to detect aarch64, call undefined function · Issue #58 · submariner-io/get.submariner.io · GitHub
  fixed by Fix arch detection of Linux/aarch64 by nirs · Pull Request #59 · submariner-io/get.submariner.io · GitHub

With this we can deploy submariner but it does not work yet due to problem with the vxlan cable driver. No issue opened yet.

Stolostron

• Missing container images for arm64 · Issue #424 · stolostron/governance-policy-addon-controller · GitHub

Hopefully this just a build issue, they don’t build multi-arch images for some projects.

If it helps, I use K3s locally on Fedora Asahi Remix for testing my work and it works flawlessly.

Replying so I can follow.

Personally got on well with running k8s components under systemd, but it does limit my cluster size/topologies and i sometimes had to turn wayland and friends off to free some memory . This was fc39 pre-release, without docker.
