what is this error related to?

angel.olivares

I am configuring the cp node sing gcp and on step 3.1.23 when running the following command:
kubeadm init --config=kubeadm-config.yaml --upload-certs | tee kubeadm-init.out

I get this error:

[ERROR FileContent--proc-sys-net-bridge-bridge-nf-call-iptables]: /proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-iptables does not exist

what have i done wrong?

Hi @angel.olivares,

Please revisit step 10 of Lab exercise 3.1 and verify the content of the /etc/sysctl.d/kubernetes.conf file matches the content of the grayed text box. Ensure there are no empty spaces preceding either of the net.... lines. If any corrections are necessary, run step 11 as well.

Regards,
-Chris

Hi i solved it by running steps 9 to 11 again.

john.steber

having issues when launching mine with
kubeadm init --config=kubeadm-config.yaml --upload-certs | tee kubeadm-init.out
Had same issue you did, but resolved with the other steps.
Now my process runs, but doesn't setup fully.
Running in Azure.

Unfortunately, an error has occurred:
error execution phase wait-control-plane: couldn't initialize a Kubernetes cluster
To see the stack trace of this error execute with --v=5 or higher
timed out waiting for the condition

This error is likely caused by:

• The kubelet is not running
• The kubelet is unhealthy due to a misconfiguration of the node in some way (required cgroups disabled)

If you are on a systemd-powered system, you can try to troubleshoot the error with the following commands:

• 'systemctl status kubelet'
• 'journalctl -xeu kubelet'

Additionally, a control plane component may have crashed or exited when started by the container runtime.
To troubleshoot, list all containers using your preferred container runtimes CLI.
Here is one example how you may list all running Kubernetes containers by using crictl:

• 'crictl --runtime-endpoint unix:///var/run/containerd/containerd.sock ps -a | grep kube | grep -v pause'
  Once you have found the failing container, you can inspect its logs with:

• 'crictl --runtime-endpoint unix:///var/run/containerd/containerd.sock logs CONTAINERID'

disregard, got mine working lol!
