I am trying to play around with kubernetes and specifically the REST API. The steps to connect with the cluster API are listed here. However Im stuck in the first step i.e. running kubectl proxy
I try running this:
kubectl --context='vagrant' proxy --port=8080 &
which returns error: couldn't read version from server: Get https://172.17.4.99:443/api: dial tcp 172.17.4.99:443: i/o timeout
What does this mean? How do overcome it connect to the API?
Check that your docker, proxy, kube-apiserver, kube-control-manager services are running without error. Check their status using systemclt status your-service-name. If the service is loaded but not running then restart the service by using systemctl restart your-service-name.
