Installing Web UI Dashboard kubernetes-dashboard on main Ubuntu 16 04 6 LTS Xenial Xerus server

Question

Trying to follow the tutorial on the official kubernetes: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/web-ui-dashboard/

I manage to install the following on Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS (Xenial Xerus):

1. sudo apt install docker.io -y

2. sudo apt install -y apt-transport-https

3. sudo apt install -y kubeadm kubelet kubectl

But when trying this command "kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/master/aio/deploy/recommended/kubernetes-dashboard.yaml" to create a dashboard on the main server, it is giving me the following error message.

Error message: unable to recognize "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/master/aio/deploy/recommended/kubernetes-dashboard.yaml": Get http://localhost:8080/api?timeout=32s: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8080: connect: connection refused

        ?

You don't know the solution and simply you are redirecting me to go here and there. Your answer is wrong. You don't even know the basics of networking. Don't misguide if you don't know the answer just be quite so that someone else could answer.

You can refer the Kubernetes Official Docs. It clearly mentions the usage of flannel.

For flannel to work correctly, you must pass --pod-network-cidr=10.244.0.0/16 to kubeadm init.

Set /proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-iptables to 1 by running sysctl net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables=1 to pass bridged IPv4 traffic to iptables’ chains. This is a requirement for some CNI plugins to work, for more information please see here.

Note that flannel works on amd64, arm, arm64, ppc64le and s390x under Linux. Windows (amd64) is claimed as supported in v0.11.0 but the usage is undocumented.

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coreos/flannel/a70459be0084506e4ec919aa1c114638878db11b/Documentation/kube-flannel.yml

Ok. I will follow you on what you say. I just got this....

~$ sudo kubeadm init --apiserver-advertise-address=192.168.31.137 --pod-network-cidr=10.244.0.0/1
[sudo] password for ev:
podSubnet: Invalid value: "10.244.0.0/1": subnet is too small

          Let me know what needs to be done. I want the Web UI (Dashboard):kubernetes-dashboard on main Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS (Xenial Xerus) server. Till then I cannot mark your answer as correct.

The command you've used:

sudo kubeadm init --apiserver-advertise-address=192.168.31.137 --pod-network-cidr=10.244.0.0/1

You missed out a digit at the end. --pod-networ-cidr=10.244.0.0/16

Use the following command

$ kubeadm init --apiserver-advertise-address=<ip-address-of-kmaster-vm> --pod-network-cidr=10.244.0.0/16

I am still getting the same after doing this sudo kubeadm init --apiserver-advertise-address=192.168.31.137 --pod-network-cidr=10.244.0.0/16. I don't see any flannel nodes running.

~$ kubectl get pods -o wide --all-namespaces

Answer 1

Follow these steps:

$ kubeadm reset

$ kubeadm init --apiserver-advertise-address=<ip-address-of-kmaster-vm> --pod-network-cidr=10.244.0.0/16

Open another terminal and execute the following command as a non root user

$ mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
$ sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
$ sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config

and then use flannel as your CNI

$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coreos/flannel/a70459be0084506e4ec919aa1c114638878db11b/Documentation/kube-flannel.yml
