Kubernetes installation error in flannel step

12/1/2019

I am installing kubernetes using kubeadm on GCP Centos VM and I am getting the following error while running flannel step.

Error:

That's a versioning issue with the DaemonSet and your kubernetes cluster. You are using extensions/v1beta1, but DaemonSets have been promoted to apps/v1.

If you already have api-server running, try kubectl explain daemonset, and it will tell you what should be the apiVersion for the DaemonSets.

If not, just download the flannel file, edit it, change the apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1, by apiVersion: apps/v1, and it should work.

Use flannel yaml from the official documentation

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coreos/flannel/2140ac876ef134e0ed5af15c65e414cf26827915/Documentation/kube-flannel.yml
podsecuritypolicy.policy/psp.flannel.unprivileged created
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/flannel configured
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/flannel unchanged
serviceaccount/flannel unchanged
configmap/kube-flannel-cfg configured
daemonset.apps/kube-flannel-ds-amd64 created
daemonset.apps/kube-flannel-ds-arm64 created
daemonset.apps/kube-flannel-ds-arm created
daemonset.apps/kube-flannel-ds-ppc64le created
daemonset.apps/kube-flannel-ds-s390x created

As @suren correctly mention - the issue is in the apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1

In latest yaml it looks like

---
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: DaemonSet
metadata:
  name: kube-flannel-ds-amd64
  namespace: kube-system
  labels:
    tier: node
    app: flannel
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: flannel
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        tier: node
        app: flannel
...
