Kubernetes pods won't start even though node is a ready state

4/10/2018

I'm new to kubernetes and I'm struggling with starting my frist pods. I installed kubernetes on my Ubuntu virtual machine, proceeded with

kubeadm init

followed by other instuctions

mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config

You should now deploy a pod network to the cluster.
Run "kubectl apply -f [podnetwork].yaml" with one of the options listed at:
  https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/addons/

I can see that the node is up and running

kubectl get nodes
NAME      STATUS    ROLES     AGE       VERSION
vm24740   Ready     master    12m       v1.10.0

Nevertheless my pods won't start:

kubectl get pods
NAME                               READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
myappdeployment-588bc8ddf4-28jzj   0/1       Pending   0          11m
myappdeployment-588bc8ddf4-9bbb9   0/1       Pending   0          11m
myappdeployment-588bc8ddf4-fptft   0/1       Pending   0          11m
myappdeployment-588bc8ddf4-lxj8p   0/1       Pending   0          11m
myappdeployment-588bc8ddf4-xhg5f   0/1       Pending   0          11m

This is a detailed view on a pod:

kubectl describe pod myappdeployment-588bc8ddf4-28jzj

Would somebody more experienced than me know, why the pods don't start?

Seem like you are running single node (master) k8s:

From Documentation:

Master Isolation

By default, your cluster will not schedule pods on the master for security reasons. If you want to be able to schedule pods on the master, e.g. for a single-machine Kubernetes cluster for development, run:

kubectl taint nodes --all node-role.kubernetes.io/master-

With output looking something like:

node "test-01" untainted taint key="dedicated" and effect="" not found. taint key="dedicated" and effect="" not found.

This will remove the node-role.kubernetes.io/master taint from any nodes that have it, including the master node, meaning that the scheduler will then be able to schedule pods everywhere.
