k3s -- k3s binary installer (base layer)
Candy Properties
| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| Install files | charly.yml, task: |
| Pinned version | v1.31.11+k3s1 (edit K3S_VERSION in charly.yml vars to cut over) |
What this candy does
Downloads the verified-checksum k3s binary (plus sha256sum from the
release manifest), installs it to /usr/local/bin/k3s, and creates
symlinks for kubectl, crictl, ctr (k3s is multi-call). Installs
runtime dependencies (iptables, conntrack, socat, ethtool,
ca-certificates) via the distro package manager — not via the
upstream curl | sh installer. Deliberate, per R9.
No service is started by this candy. Role selection happens in the
dependent candies /charly-infrastructure:k3s-server and /charly-infrastructure:k3s-agent,
which emit systemd units that wrap this binary with the right CLI verb
(k3s server vs k3s agent).
Usage
Typically not used directly — compose /charly-infrastructure:k3s-server or
/charly-infrastructure:k3s-agent (both depend on this candy).
