Hi @Alistair Mackay I am trying the procedure, however seems like the pods keep restarting (etcd/kube-apiserver/kube-proxy/kube-controller-manager/kube-scheduler). This can be seen by looking at the number of attempts. I looked at the etcd logs and can see failure to connect error. Any idea?

Alistair Mackay:
The logs look like API server can’t connect to etcd.
etcd is also restarting, so you have to fix etcd first before anything else will work

Karim:
Exactly i am wonderinf what would prevent them being on the same host

Nitish Patni:
Chk if any firewall service or selinux is imposed…if so kindly disable and do chk again

Are you able to telnet on 2379 ? Whats the output of netstat

Alistair Mackay:
@Nitish Patni Note from the above container list that the etcd pod is not happy - it restarted 8 times in 3 minutes. It’s not going to be listening if it can’t start properly hence 2379 is closed.

Karim:
The problem is i have no idea how to proceed…been stuck for 4 days trying to get a cluster up

Karim:
If anyone can help will be very grateful

Karim:
I am good now. Thanks team! I ended up trying this procedure which worked for me https://medium.com/cp-massive-programming/setting-up-a-kubernetes-1-23-cluster-using-kubeadm-on-3-ubuntu-severs-7372d033828f
