<p>With manually installed Kubernetes <a href="https://coreos.com/kubernetes/docs/latest/getting-started.html" rel="noreferrer">on CoreOS</a>, how does one install and use the <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/cluster/addons/addon-manager" rel="noreferrer">Kubernetes addon manager</a>?</p>

<p>I've found references to the addon manager being the current standard way of installing Kubernetes addons, but I can't find any authoritative documentation on it. Hoping someone can help me out here.</p>

<p>The addon manager is deployed as a normal pod or a deployment, with a simple <code>kubectl apply -f</code>.</p>
<p>The yaml looks something like this, look at the specific version that you need:</p>
<pre class="lang-yaml prettyprint-override"><code>apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: kube-addon-manager
  namespace: kube-system
  labels:
    component: kube-addon-manager
spec:
hostNetwork: true
containers:
- name: kube-addon-manager
  # When updating version also bump it in:
  # - cluster/images/hyperkube/static-pods/addon-manager-singlenode.json
  # - cluster/images/hyperkube/static-pods/addon-manager-multinode.json
  # - test/kubemark/resources/manifests/kube-addon-manager.yaml
  image: gcr.io/google-containers/kube-addon-manager:v6.4-beta.1
  command:
  - /bin/bash
  - -c
  - /opt/kube-addons.sh 1&gt;&gt;/var/log/kube-addon-manager.log 2&gt;&amp;1
  resources:
    requests:
      cpu: 5m
      memory: 50Mi
  volumeMounts:
  - mountPath: /etc/kubernetes/
    name: addons
    readOnly: true
  - mountPath: /var/log
    name: varlog
    readOnly: false
volumes:
- hostPath:
    path: /etc/kubernetes/
  name: addons
- hostPath:
    path: /var/log
  name: varlog
</code></pre>
<p>The addon manager observes the specific yaml files under <code>/etc/kubernetes/addons/</code>, put any addon you like here to install it.</p>
