Add RPi specific cgroup documentation #798

Open spatterIight opened 3 months ago

spatterIight commented 3 months ago

I followed this using 4 RPi Model B's and ran into an issue regarding runc/containerd -- with my pods being stuck in CrashLoopBackOff

The issue was that RPi's require a special cgroups modification to be used w/ kubernetes:

By default the cgroup memory option will be disabled, we will need to update this for Docker to be able to limit memory usage. 
Open /boot/cmdline.txt and append cgroup_enable=memory cgroup_memory=1.

Since this repository is only written with ARM boards in mind (like the RPi) it may be good to add a note about this somewhere, seeing as how popular they are and likely that one may be used.

Thanks a lot for posting this, I was doing exactly this and kept running into the crashloopbackoff thing. Good learning experience though :)
