Kubernetes Fundamentals: Lab 3.1. Install Kubernetes: Username/Password Authentication Failed

When I try to run this command I get an error: wget https://training.linuxfoundation.org/cm/LFS258/LFS258_V2022-03-22_SOLUTIONS.tar.xz \ --user=xxxx --password=xxxx

That worked. Thank you @chrispokorni

Hi @johngeorge142,

Please remove the back slash from your command and pay close attention to the user and password as they are case sensitive.

In addition, please familiarize yourself with best practices around sharing passwords in public forums, and their security implications. Understanding whether it is acceptable to share sensitive information this way is critical for novices and experts in the IT field.

Regards,
-Chris

@chrispokorni there is no chmod 400 LFS258.pem file that I can SSH into.

[[email protected] ̃]$chmod 400 LFS258.pem[[email protected] ̃]$ssh -i LFS258.pem [email protected]

Hi @johngeorge142,

The private/public key pair needs to be created prior to accessing the VM, and the public key needs to be loaded on the VM while it is being provisioned.

Chapter 1 includes video guides to help you to provision your cloud VM instances, and generate desired key pairs.

Regards,
-Chris

@chrispokorni Thanks for the response. I was able to setup the cp and worker nodes using gcp. unfortunately I was unable to find the LFS258.pem file when I extracted the tar file in my cp and worker nodes (Step1: [[email protected] ̃]$chmod 400 LFS258.pem[[email protected] ̃]
error:chmod: cannot access 'LFS258.pem': No such file or directory

I was able to do most of lab Excercise 3.1 except I could not move past step 16. I ran the following command and got this error:(command)
kubeadm init --config=kubeadm-config.yaml --upload-certs | tee kubeadm-init.out # Save output for future review

@chrispokorni I also get this error when I run other commands mainly this one: kubeadm init --config=kubeadm-config.yaml --upload-certs | tee kubeadm-init.out

@chrispokorni I have also outlined the steps I took from steps 16 through 20 for lab 3.1

Hi @johngeorge142,

From the first error at step 16 it seems there are two container runtimes installed on your node: docker and cri-o. If you revisit step 6, it instructs you install one or the other. With both runtimes present the installation panics, as it does not have the necessary configuration for kubelet to select one of the two runtimes. The following errors just build on top of the first one.

One way to fix this is to remove one of the runtimes, but it is not a guaranteed approach as it may leave behind some residual configuration options.
A cleaner approach would be to provision a new VM and attempt the installation again, this time paying close attention to the instructions in the lab guide and install only one of the two runtimes presented in step 6.

Regards ,
-Chris
