/home/ubuntu# kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"14", GitVersion:"v1.14.0", GitCommit:"641856db18352033a0d96dbc99153fa3b27298e5", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2019-03-25T15:53:57Z", GoVersion:"go1.12.1", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}



   The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port  ?

Background of the issue:

Docker is installed. Using below, kube components are installed:

apt-get update && apt-get install -y kubeadm kubelet kubectl

But, when executing kubeadm init --apiserver-advertise-address=$myip --ignore-preflight-errors=all:

Getting the above in the kube api container logs. This is a fresh install .Also tried

sudo cp /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/
sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/admin.conf
export KUBECONFIG=$HOME/admin.conf

Expected Results:

kubectl version: should give only the version details without any connection issue message Kubectl get nodes: should give the details of Master node and status
