Connect to k3s Server from Windows¶

Ensure that kubectl in installed in the Windows machine.

winget install --id=Kubernetes.kubectl  -e

Make sure you can connect to the remote server using ssh.

Create a .kube folder in the home directory in Windows, if it doesn't exist.

In Windows, open PowerShell and use the following command to leverage scp to move the file from the server to the Windows machine.

scp [email protected]:/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml C:\Users\hyperoot\.kube\config

Now open the config file in any text editor and change the server IP address accordingly.

# from
server: https://127.0.0.1:6443
# to
server: https://192.168.1.3:6443

Make sure k3s is running in the server. And now you can connect to cluster from your Windows machine.
