When you install Routernetes, a default Router is installed, you can see it by doing:

sudo kubectl describe -n routernetes router default-router

If you want to modify the Router configuration, you can either edit the default-router object, or you can delete it and create your own Router (as shown below). You can only have 1 Router installed at a time.

To edit the default router:

sudo kubectl edit -n routernetes router default-router

WARNING (deleting the default router):

• If you delete the Router object, this will disable the firewall. Therefore the SSH port on your machine will be exposed to the Internet until your create a new Router object.
• Deleting the Router object will also disable the DHCP server, therefore, you might need to set a static IP to regain access to the system if your DHCP address is released.

sudo kubectl apply -f router.yaml

https://github.com/routernetes/routernetes-operator/blob/main/config/samples/_v1alpha1_router.yaml

The above example denies all incoming traffic to the outside (Internet) interface. You can allow certain services through the firewall, for example:

  firewall:
    outside:
      services:
        - ssh

You can see a list of possible services here: https://github.com/firewalld/firewalld/tree/master/config/services

You can also configure interface bridges (like a built-in network switch). An example is shown below

  interfaces:
    - name: br0
      type: bridge
      members:
        - enp0s20u1
        - enp0s20u2
      ipv4:
        method: manual
        address: 192.168.64.1/24

Not every item in spec needs to be specified, you can see the docs for the Router specification here. That document shows the default values, as well as whether a field is required or not.

sudo kubectl describe -n routernetes router my-router

You'll see a Status section that looks something like this:

Status:
  Conditions:
    Last Transition Time:  2022-06-15T02:39:10Z
    Message:

    Last Transition Time:  2022-06-15T02:38:55Z
    Message:               Awaiting next reconciliation
    Reason:                Successful
    Status:                True
    Type:                  Running
    Last Transition Time:  2022-06-15T12:39:22Z
    Message:               Last reconciliation succeeded
    Reason:                Successful
    Status:                True
    Type:                  Successful

If you just want to see whether the deployment was successful, you can run:

sudo kubectl get -n routernetes router my-router -o jsonpath='{.status.conditions[?(@.type=="Successful")].status}{"\n"}'

Which should output True if the Router deployment succeeded.
