Flannel interface disappears when restarting wireguard












0















On my test cluster, I am using Kubernetes with Flannel as the overlay network. I'm also using Wireguard for a vpn and p2p connections between each kubernetes node.



All node-to-node and container-to-container traffic works fine, and I can confirm the traffic goes over the wg0 (wireguard) interface. Traffic basically flows from a container to docker0 to cni0 (I think) to flannel.1 to wg0 to outside the server.



My problem is that whenever I restart wireguard with systemctl restart wg-quick@wg0, the wg0 interface is quickly removed and re-added which causes the flannel.1 interface to disappear entirely.



I can get the flannel.1 interface back by running kubectl --namespace=kube-system delete pod -l app=flannel, but this isn't always quick and cross-host network connectivity is disrupted until the new pods are running.



I deployed flannel on kubernetes by applying https://github.com/coreos/flannel/blob/v0.10.0/Documentation/kube-flannel.yml but with --iface=wg0 added to the flanneld args.



Is there a way to get flannel to recognize it's interface is missing and bring it back up, or some other workaround to achieve similar results?
