Disable klipper k3s

When you wish to use metallb in your k3s cluster you need to disable servicelb

On install

curl -fL https://get.k3s.io | sh -s - --disable servicelb

After the fact

If you forget to disable the klipper load balancer, follow the below steps on an already running cluster

edit /etc/systemd/system/k3s.service so it looks like the below

ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/k3s \
    server --disable servicelb \

Restart the service

sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl restart k3s

You will need to ensure this is done on every node in the cluster
