I am building a Kubernetes cluster following this tutorial, and I have troubles to access the Kubernetes dashboard. I already created another question about it that you can see here, but while digging up into my cluster, I think that the problem might be somewhere else and that's why I create a new question.
I start my master, by running the following commands:
> kubeadm reset
> kubeadm init --apiserver-advertise-address=[MASTER_IP] > file.txt
> tail -2 file.txt > join.sh # I keep this file for later
> kubectl apply -f https://git.io/weave-kube/
> kubectl -n kube-system get pod
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
coredns-fb8b8dccf-kb2zq 0/1 Pending 0 2m46s
coredns-fb8b8dccf-nnc5n 0/1 Pending 0 2m46s
etcd-kubemaster 1/1 Running 0 93s
kube-apiserver-kubemaster 1/1 Running 0 93s
kube-controller-manager-kubemaster 1/1 Running 0 113s
kube-proxy-lxhvs 1/1 Running 0 2m46s
kube-scheduler-kubemaster 1/1 Running 0 93sHere we can see that I have two coredns pods stuck in Pending state forever, and when I run the command :
> kubectl -n kube-system describe pod coredns-fb8b8dccf-kb2zqI can see in the Events part the following Warning :
Failed Scheduling : 0/1 nodes are available 1 node(s) had taints that the pod didn't tolerate.Since it is a Warning and not and Error, and that as a Kubernetes newbie, taints does not mean much to me, I tried to connect a node to the master (using the previously saved command) :
> cat join.sh
kubeadm join [MASTER_IP]:6443 --token [TOKEN] \
--discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:[ANOTHER_TOKEN]
> ssh [USER]@[WORKER_IP] 'bash' < join.sh
This node has joined the cluster.
On the master, I check that the node is connected:
> kubectl get nodes
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
kubemaster NotReady master 13m v1.14.1
kubeslave1 NotReady <none> 31s v1.14.1And I check my pods :
> kubectl -n kube-system get pod
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
coredns-fb8b8dccf-kb2zq 0/1 Pending 0 14m
coredns-fb8b8dccf-nnc5n 0/1 Pending 0 14m

kube-apiserver-kubemaster 1/1 Running 0 13m
kube-controller-manager-kubemaster 1/1 Running 0 13m
kube-proxy-lxhvs 1/1 Running 0 14m
kube-proxy-xllx4 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 2m16s
kube-scheduler-kubemaster 1/1 Running 0 13mWe can see that another kube-proxy pod have been created and is stuck in ContainerCreating status.
And when I am doing a describe again :
kubectl -n kube-system describe pod kube-proxy-xllx4I can see in the Events part multiple identical Warnings :
Failed create pod sandbox : rpx error: code = Unknown desc = failed pulling image "k8s.gcr.io/pause:3.1": Get https://k8s.gcr.io/v1/_ping: dial tcp: lookup k8s.gcr.io on [::1]:53 read up [::1]43133->[::1]:53: read: connection refusedHere are my repositories :
docker image ls

> kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/master/aio/deploy/recommended/kubernetes-dashboard.yamlBut the dashboard pod is stuck in Pending state.
kubectl -n kube-system get pod

kubernetes-dashboard-5f7b999d65-qn8qn 1/1 Pending 0 8sSo, event though my problem originaly was that I cannot access to my dashboard, I guess that the real problem is deeper thant that.
I know that I just put a lot of information here, but I am a k8s beginner and I am completely lost on this.
Set up the flannel network tool.
Running commands:
$ sysctl net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables=1
$ kubectl apply -f There is an issue I experienced with coredns pods stuck in a pending mode when setting up your own cluster; which I resolve by adding pod network.
Looks like because there is no Network Addon installed, the nodes are taint as not-ready. Installing the Addon would remove the taints and the Pods will be able to schedule. In my case adding flannel fixed the issue.
EDIT: There is a note about this in the official k8s documentation - Create cluster with kubeadm:
The network must be deployed before any applications. Also, CoreDNS will not start up before a network is installed. kubeadm only supports Container Network Interface (CNI) based networks (and does not support kubenet).
Actually it is the opposite of a deep or serious issue. This is a trivial issue. Always you see a pod stuck on Pending state, it means the scheduler is having a hard time to schedule the pod; mostly because there are no enough resources on the node.
In your case it is a taint that has the node, and your pod doesn't have the toleration. What you have to do is to describe the node and get the taint:
kubectl describe node | grep -i taintsNote: you might have more then one taint. So you might want to do kubectl describe no NODE since with grep you will only see one taint.
Once you get the taint, that will be something like hello=world:NoSchedule; which means key=value:effect, you will have to add a toleration section in your Deployment. This is an example Deployment so you can see how it should look like:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: nginx
labels:
app: nginx
spec:
replicas: 10
strategy:
type: Recreate
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: nginx
spec:
containers:
- image: nginx
name: nginx
ports:
- containerPort: 80
name: http
tolerations:
- effect: NoExecute #NoSchedule, PreferNoSchedule
key: node
operator: Equal
value: not-ready
tolerationSeconds: 3600As you can see there is the toleration section in the yaml. So, if I would have a node with node=not-ready:NoExecute taint, no pod would be able to be scheduled on that node, unless would have this toleration.
Also you can remove the taint, if you don need it. To remove a taint you would describe the node, get the key of the taint and do:
kubectl taint node NODE key-Hope it makes sense. Just add this section to your deployment, and it will work.
