Help

docker run --rm k8s.gcr.io/metrics-server/metrics-server:v0.3.7 --help

Installation

https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/metrics-server#requirements

With Manifest

Docker Desktop Kubernetes

Install

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/metrics-server/releases/download/v0.3.7/components.yaml

If configuration needs to be changed, pull the file locally and install it with:

kubectl apply -f ./components.yaml

clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/system:aggregated-metrics-reader created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/metrics-server:system:auth-delegator created
rolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/metrics-server-auth-reader created
apiservice.apiregistration.k8s.io/v1beta1.metrics.k8s.io created
serviceaccount/metrics-server created
deployment.apps/metrics-server created
service/metrics-server created
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/system:metrics-server created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/system:metrics-server created

It is deployed in the 'kube-system' namespace.

Configuration

For Docker Desktop Kubernetes, add "--kubelet-insecure-tls", otherwise the pod reads will fail with:

x509: certificate signed by unknown authority
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: metrics-server
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: metrics-server
        args:
          - --kubelet-insecure-tls
          - --cert-dir=/tmp
          - --secure-port=4443

Uninstall all the Kubernetes API resources. To reconfigure, it is sufficient to uninstall then re-install the deployment.
