Unable to configure kubernetes cluster

Greeting,

My query is pending since long time and I requested multiple times in SLACK channel as well but so far my issue (configure cluster in VM) is not yet fixed, need your expertise assistance to fix.

I am unable to configure kubernets cluster in my local VM (1 master and 2 worker). I am flowing steps mentioned in course " Kubernetes for the Absolute Beginners - Hands-on" and also I tried some technotes from google and requested couple of time over SLACK channel as well but so far my cluster is not stable.

POD coredns and weave-net-gvtgs are showing in ContainerCreating/CrashLoopBackOff, could you please suggest me the best way to configure cluster in VM.

Your response is highly awaited.

Thank you,

Hi Subhash, all you weave plugins are in a crashloopbackoff state. Can you check if you are able to see the logs of any of these pods: use - kubectl -n kube-namespace logs -f and post the result.

Have you set up networking correctly between the nodes in the virtual box?

Hi Vijin,

Please find the requested details:

I was following absolute beginner course in Kode Kloud but if you want I setup it from the beginning.
My requirement is to have cluster running in my local system’s VM.

Thank you,
-Subhash

There are two containers in the weave net pod, so specify the “eave” container when checking the logs with the -c option.

Without the logs its almost impossible to understand where the issue is.

You can try setting up from the beginning if you want, I suspect the issue is with networking between the nodes but it could be a number of different things.

Hi Vijin,

Please find the log output:

Thank you.

Hi VIjin,

I reinstalled cluster from scratch and still core-DNS is getting failed.
