## Weave Kubernetes System Control - `wksctl`

**Please note that the code has recently updated from ClusterAPI v1alpha1 to v1alpha3 and as a result Everything Has Changed**
While this note is in the README you may find inconsistencies in the code, and between the code, examples and documentation.
Sorry about that. Feel free to still open issues and/or ask questions [as below](#getting-help).

`wksctl` allows simple creation of a Kubernetes cluster given a **set of IP addresses** and an **SSH key**. It can be run in a standalone environment but is best used via a [GitOps approach](https://www.weave.works/technologies/gitops/) in which cluster and machine descriptions are stored in Git and the state of the cluster tracks changes to the descriptions.

Its features include:

- simple creation of Kubernetes clusters
- manage cluster and machine descriptions using Git
- manage addons like Weave Net or Flux
- Sealed Secret integration

### Install wksctl binary

1. Download the OS specific `wksctl` release package from the [release page](https://github.com/weaveworks/wksctl/releases)
1. Unpack and add the `wksctl` binary to your path

For example:

```console
cd
tar xfz wksctl-0.7.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
chmod +x wksctl
sudo mv wksctl /usr/local/bin/
```
