k3d create cluster without traefik and serverlb

k3d-create-cluster-no-traefik.sh

# Possibly obsolete: k3d create --name testcls1 --workers 3
k3d create --name testcls1 --workers 3 --server-arg "--no-deploy=traefik" --server-arg "--no-deploy=servicelb"

# UPDATE: in newer versions onwards, this has evolved to (thanks to comments below):
k3d cluster create --k3s-arg "--no-deploy=traefik@server:*"

context

export KUBECONFIG="$(k3d get-kubeconfig --name='testcls1')"
OR copy it to the ~/.kube/config folder
cp /Users//.config/k3d/testcls1/kubeconfig.yaml ~/.kube/config

install

brew install k3d

create cluster with port 80 exposed to host for ingress/lb for service(s) of type Loadbalancer

k3d create --publish 8080:8080 --name testcls1 --workers 3

create cluster without traefik and servicelb

k3d create --name testcls1 --workers 3 --server-arg "--no-deploy=traefik" --server-arg "--no-deploy=servicelb"

list clusters

k3d list

delete cluster

k3d delete --name testcls1

start cluster

k3d start testcls1

stop cluster

k3d stop testcls1

In version 5 it looks to be k3d create --name testcls1 --workers 3 --k3s-arg "--disable=traefik@server:0"

Really appreciate the comment - I have updated the gist.

btw --name or --worker syntax doesn't work for me. what I really works for me k3d cluster create test --k3s-arg "--disable=traefik@server:0"

Based on k3d-io/k3d#292 (comment) now must use k3d cluster create --k3s-arg "--no-deploy=traefik@server:*"

Thank you - I have updated as mentioned.

It seems that --no-deploy has been deprecated. k3s-io/k3s#1382

k3d now recommends using --disable instead, like this:

k3d cluster create --k3s-arg "--disable=traefik@server:*" <cluster-name>

I am using

k3d version v5.4.8
k3s version v1.25.6-k3s1
