After first setting up a new k3s instance your kubeconfig file will be located in /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml.

You cans use it from here by setting $KUBECONFIG to that file.








        

export KUBECONFIG=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml

Or you can copy it to ~/.kube/config








        

cp /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml ~/.kube/config

If you have installed k3s on a remote server and need the config on your local machine then you will need to modify the server address to reflect the remote server.








        

scp user@<server-ip>:/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml ~/.kube/config

Warning

only do this if you don't already have a ~/.kube/config file, otherwise copy it to a new file and set your $KUBECONFIG env variable to use it.

Now you will need to open that file and change the server address, making sure to keep the port number.

  - cluster:
      certificate-authority-data: ****
      server: https://<server-ip>:6443
