I am trying to deploy an application with k3s kubernetes. Currently I have two master nodes behind a load-balancer, and I have some issues connecting worker nodes to them. All nodes and the load-balancer runs in seperate vms.

The load balancer is a nginx server with the following configuration.

load_module /usr/lib/nginx/modules/ngx_stream_module.so;
events {}
stream {
  upstream k3s_servers {
    server {master_node1_ip}:6443;
    server {master_node2_ip}:6443;
  }
  server {
    listen 6443;
    proxy_pass k3s_servers;
  }
}

the master nodes connects through the load-balancer, and seemingly it works as expected.

ubuntu@ip-172-31-20-78:/$ sudo k3s kubectl get nodes
NAME               STATUS   ROLES                  AGE   VERSION
ip-172-31-33-183   Ready    control-plane,master   81m   v1.20.2+k3s1
ip-172-31-20-78    Ready    control-plane,master   81m   v1.20.2+k3s1

However the worker nodes yields an error about the SSL certificate?

if I try to change K3S_URL in /etc/systemd/system/k3s-agent.service.env to use http, I get an error saying that only https is accepted.
