Adding Cluster Nodes with sealos add

sealos add is a command in the Sealos command-line tool used to add nodes to a cluster. This guide provides detailed instructions on how to use the command and its options.

Note: Make sure the number of control nodes is odd to ensure proper etcd leader election.

Basic Usage​

Adding Nodes​

To add nodes to the cluster, you can use the --nodes option:

sealos add --nodes x.x.x.x

In the above command, replace x.x.x.x with the IP address of the node you want to add.

Adding Control Nodes​

To add control nodes to the cluster, you can use the --masters option:

sealos add --masters x.x.x.x

Adding Control and Regular Nodes Together​

If you want to add both control nodes and regular nodes to the cluster, you can use the --masters and --nodes options together:

sealos add --masters x.x.x.x --nodes x.x.x.x
sealos add --masters x.x.x.x-x.x.x.y --nodes x.x.x.x-x.x.x.y

Options​

The sealos add command provides the following options:

  • --cluster='default': The name of the cluster to perform the add operation. Defaults to default.

  • --masters='': The control nodes to be added.

  • --nodes='': The nodes to be added.

Each option can be followed by an argument.

Usage Example​

Here's an example usage that adds a node with the IP address 192.168.0.2 to the cluster:

sealos add --nodes 192.168.0.2
