LFD259 - Updated to v1.22.1 (10.14.2021)

The line for /etc/containers/storage.conf needs to be restored. The absence of those lines ends up with the "worker" node failing to start up critical containers.

TL;DR: these are Ubuntu 18.04 VMs, running on a KVM hypervisor

Sure. These are Ubuntu 18.04 VMs, based off of upstream provided base cloud image. They are running on a Ubuntu 20.04 hypervisor.

https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/bionic/release/ubuntu-18.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img

Here is the virt-install script (for the 'worker' VM; the 'cp' script is the same except for the --name argument):

export OS_QCOW2=/var/lib/libvirt/images/worker.qcow2
scp /home/ubuntu/_images/ubuntu-18.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img root@colo4:$OS_QCOW2
ssh root@colo4 qemu-img resize $OS_QCOW2 20G
 
virt-install \
  --connect qemu+ssh://root@colo4/system \
  --import \
  --virt-type kvm \
  --name worker \
  --ram 8192 \
  --cpu host-model \
  --vcpus 2 \
  --network bridge=br0,model=virtio \
  --disk path=$OS_QCOW2,format=qcow2 \
  --os-type=linux \
  --os-variant ubuntu18.04 \
  --autostart \
  --autoconsole text \
  --cloud-init user-data=./user-data,meta-data=./meta-data

Post virt-install, this is running the following scripts from the 10-13 tarball:

• LFD259/SOLUTIONS/s_02/k8scp.sh
• LFD259/SOLUTIONS/s_02/k8sSecond.sh

The problem arises after the 'kubeadm join ...' command. I am reproducing this right now. The absence of the 'sed' line results in:

I agree with this. I am facing the same issue.
I am using Virtualbox on Windows 11 Host with Ubuntu 18.04 Guest.

The Linux Foundation is fully on board with the "inclusive naming initiative" (https://inclusivenaming.org/ and has systematically implemented its guidelines every where it can in courses. Unfortunately, there are quite a few upstream projects that still use "master" and it is impossible to eliminate its use completely until they do, at which point the courses automatically will not be using these terms. It takes time, and even though CNCF is an initiator of the inclusive naming project, quite a few CNCF projects still use "master".

Confirming this post! Guys, please fix it in the "k8sSecond.sh", I have wasted more than an hour to figure out why the steps are not working on VMware fusion.

I believe I am experiencing this same issue still. @serewicz
