Welcome to the Linux Foundation Forum!

Lab 10.1 - need a little assistance - coredns issue?

My post was too long with all the debugging info, so I attached the logs from the lab as a text file.

Any help would be appreciated, to my untrained eye it looks like coredns is confused by the lab machine having two NICs.

    Hi, are your VM private IPs and the Pod network IPs overlapping in any way? If they are, then you would run into resolution problems. As far as the coredns pods, you can delete the ones in trouble and allow new ones to be created - this tends to fix minor coredns issues.

    Regards,

    192.168.58.* is used for node communication. 10.* is used to get out to the internet. Here is some more info about the setup:

    192.168.58.* is used for node communication. 10.* is used to get out to the internet. Here is some more info about the setup:

    [kate@knode1 s_10]$ kubectl get ingresses,service,deployments,endpoints,pods -o wide

    Note that "address" is blank. This makes me think it might be some issue with coredns.

    Note that the cluster ip for kube-dns is on the 10 block, but everything else is on the 192 block. I don't know anything about coredns, but "CrashLoopBackOff" looks bad to me.

    This is me fumbling around trying to get dns logs:

  • Hi @slfav,

    The IP range of the Nodes 192.168.58.x is overlapping with the IP range of the Pods 192.168.0.0/16, initialized when kubeadm init was issued and also configured in the calico network plugin YAML file.
    The issue starts from a networking problem, and it reflects in the behavior of the DNS server as well. The DNS server is confused by the overlapping IP subnets.
    I suggest comparing your IP ranges and then separating them to avoid overlapping subnets.

    The web tool below shows the IP ranges for a particular cidr block, and could be a good starting point to troubleshoot the issue:
    jodies.de/ipcalc

    Where are the VMs running? Are they local VMs (a hypervisor on your workstation) or cloud instances?
    Which version of the Lab book are you following?

    Regards,
    -Chris

  • These machines are virtual machines on a local lan hosted with virtualbox.

    I do not know what version the training is. It is whatever is published to the online course material.

    Assuming I can adjust the ip ranges manually in virtualbox, or as root on the host, and they are all static ip addresses, what do I need to do to fix the host machine configuration so that they can resolve correctly?

    I don't fully understand what calico is doing with the network. Here is what I think I know:

    There are 4 nodes, each with two nics:

    enp0s3: nat bridge outbound to internet
    enp0s8: host-only communication for node to node traffic

    What I am trying to achieve is internal traffic happening only on enp0s8, what files do I need to edit or what commands do I need to run on what machines to repair the installation? I can select a different network block for enp0s8 if need be if there is no way to change calico easily.

  • Hi @slfav ,
    Calico's official documentation provides a guide on how to change the pod-network-cidr on a live cluster.

    https://docs.projectcalico.org/v3.8/networking/changing-ip-pools

    Regards,
    -Chris

  • When I first started the course, I was following the guide for k8s 1.14. At some point it was updated, so I ended up just rebuilding the whole lab using the updated guide for k8s 1.15 and using a single network card instead of two. Following the updated procedure, Traefik never did find the correct ip address for the ingress, but it did generate a service that worked and I do now have a working coredns, so I think I can continue with the new lab setup.
