Install Calyptia Core on top of Ubuntu Server Linux

Supported Versions

Version	Architecture
Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS	x86_64, ARM64
Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS	x86_64, ARM64

Download and Install

You can run the following command to install Calyptia Core on Ubuntu Server. This will install both Calyptia CLI and Calyptia Core. However, it does not onboard to https://core.calyptia.com as this requires your project token to complete.

curl -sSfL https://core-packages.calyptia.com/install-core.sh | bash

After you have run the install command, you can navigate to https://core.calyptia.com > New Core Instance. Follow the instructions here to create a Calyptia Core instance with all the relevant parameters.

If you are using custom certificates and CA, use the following --no-tls-verify in the install script to still enable encryption

Health checks

As part of the install script, we perform the following checks to ensure proper installation.

1. Installation of cURL

2. Installation of systemctl

3. Basic system requirements

4. FIPS mode not enabled

5. Firewall not enabled

6. Connectivity to https://cloud-api.calyptia.com

7. Connectivity to https://ghcr.io/calyptia/core

8. SELinux status

Troubleshooting

The initial step is to check the output of the health checks run during installation for any warnings or errors reported. Refer to the top-level networking and OS requirements to confirm they are met. Verify the K3s requirements are also met: https://docs.k3s.io/installation/requirements.

To troubleshoot, do the following to verify if it resolves the issue:

• Disable FIPS mode AND reboot: fips-mode-setup --disable

• Disable the firewall: ufw disable

• Ensure SELinux is disabled or in permissive (not enforcing) mode: setenforce 0 (will be reset on reboot).

Confirm the following network ranges that K3S defaults to using are not conflicting with your network or DNS resolution.

• Pods are allocated in the CIDR range 10.42.0.0/16. Use INSTALL_CALYPTIA_CLUSTER_CIDR environment variable to override.

• Services are allocated in the CIDR range 10.43.0.0/16. Use INSTALL_CALYPTIA_SERVICE_CIDR environment variable to override.

• Cluster DNS is set to 10.43.0.10. Use INSTALL_CALYPTIA_CLUSTER_DNS environment variable to override.

• The cluster domain suffix is set to cluster.local. Use INSTALL_CALYPTIA_CLUSTER_DOMAIN environment variable to override.

Node ports are allocated by K3s in the range 30000-32767 by default so ensure these do not conflict with any local services that are required. Use the INSTALL_CALYPTIA_SERVICE_NODE_PORT_RANGE environment variable to override during installation.

Check the local /etc/resolv.conf specifically to verify as well - this will be used by K3s as well by default. Verify it is not using a DNS server or specifying any overrides that may conflict with K3s.
