From 6fc74ee1121c8b6f2b3bdb796a6e1f4502e7f682 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Fabiano=20Fid=C3=AAncio?= Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2026 11:53:15 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] tests: reduce k0s host memory footprint on CI runners MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Unlike k3s and rke2, the k0s deployment never trimmed its default stack, so it ran metrics-server, autopilot, etc. in addition to the components the tests actually need. On the free GitHub runners this leaves too little host memory headroom: the large in-guest image pull test launches a 4GB Kata QEMU and, while unpacking the image into trusted block storage, the host OOM-kills QEMU. This surfaces as "ttrpc: closed" / "QEMU exited ... signal: killed", even though the very same test passes on k3s, rke2 and microk8s on the same runner (all of which we already trim). Disable the components the tests don't rely on (metrics-server, autopilot) to bring k0s in line with the other distros, while keeping coredns, kube-proxy/network-provider and konnectivity-server.
