simplek8s-wizard

Description

The SimpleK8s wizard is a web UI to install SimpleK8s and manage your Kubernetes cluster from the browser. No commands needed.

Replaced: simplek8s-wizard has been replaced by nodectl wizard, documented in the Web installation guide. Do not build new scripts on this legacy service.

To open it, go to: https://<your-node-IP>:5443

On a live session (booted from ISO, nothing installed), the password is shown on the node’s own screen — a fresh one is generated on every boot.
On an installed node, use the root password you set during the install.

By default the wizard is enabled. To disable it:

# systemctl disable --now simplek8s-wizard

Step-by-step guides with screenshots: web installation.

Views

Installer — visible only on live (non-persistent) sessions.
KubeAdm — create a cluster or join this node to one.
Tokens — visible on control-plane nodes: mint join tokens for new nodes.

Installer

Installs SimpleK8s on a disk of this machine.

The installer erases the whole destination disk. Type the disk path to confirm.

Fill in: disk, release channel (dev for the latest), version (latest), and either a root password (typed twice) or your own simplek8s.yaml in Custom mode. Press Install, wait a few seconds, then reboot from the disk.

KubeAdm

Two modes:

Create cluster — on a fresh installed node. Set the API server advertise address and the node hostname, press Create. This node becomes the first control plane.
Join cluster — paste the JSON join config (minted on the Tokens page of a control-plane node) and press Join. Works for both control-plane and worker nodes.

Progress logs stream on the page; press Continue when done.

Tokens

Mint join tokens for new nodes: pick the role (control-plane or worker), type the new node’s hostname, and press Create. The page shows the kubeadm join command and the JSON config to paste into the new node’s KubeAdm page. Tokens expire — mint fresh ones if a join complains.
