# Creating a Kubernetes cluster and installing DEKUBE components

## Creating a Kubernetes Cluster  <a href="#id-razvertyvanieklasteradekube-sozdanieklasterakubernetes" id="id-razvertyvanieklasteradekube-sozdanieklasterakubernetes"></a>

```sh
ansible-playbook playbooks/cluster.yaml -e ignore_assert_errors=yes
```

You can watch the installation video instructions [here](https://asciinema.org/a/C7qi2ovAHb6XAf3H8VBPQv3On).&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
In case of errors, ensure that:

1. All updates are installed on the nodes;
2. Nodes are accessible over the network;
3. In the inventory, the **IP variable** specifies the **IP address** of the local **wg0c** interface of the node.
   {% endhint %}

## Please read before installing DEKUBE components <a href="#id-razvertyvanieklasteradekube-ustanovkakomponentovdekube" id="id-razvertyvanieklasteradekube-ustanovkakomponentovdekube"></a>

{% hint style="warning" %}
Each playbook declares variables to run it.

If a variable is empty, it must be set to its own value or the value specified in the example after the **#** sign

Without declaring these variables, errors will occur!
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Each playbook also contains variables for **tolerations** and **affinity**. Set them in depending on your preferences for deploying services on specific nodes. If you want all DEKUBE services and components to run on master nodes, leave the variables as they are.&#x20;
{% endhint %}
