title: Running Kubernetes on a single machine bare metal
body: <p>I'm looking to run Kubernetes in production on a single machine - bare metal - no VM. But can't seem to find a writeup for this scenario. The reason is basically that we have on-premise small installations and we'd prefer to have everything based on Kubernetes rather than having two different environments - one cloud and one on-prem.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong></p>
  
  <p>With the official Ubuntu guide I managed to get it up and running in conjunction with the following: <a href="http://www.dangtrinh.com/2017/09/how-to-deploy-openstack-in-single.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.dangtrinh.com/2017/09/how-to-deploy-openstack-in-single.html</a>. LXD version was wrong for what Conjure was expecting and IPv6 needs to be turned off for LXD. Now I am the happy owner of an Intel NUC here for testing which acts as a master and a node. Thanks for all the assistance in the comments! </p>
