CoreDNS fails to run in Kubernetes cluster

I'm trying to setup a Kubernetes cluster, but I cannot get CoreDNS running. I've ran the following to start the cluster:

sudo swapoff -a
sudo sysctl net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables=1
sudo kubeadm init

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

kubectl apply -f "https://cloud.weave.works/k8s/net?k8s- version=$(kubectl version | base64 | tr -d '\n')"
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/master/src/deploy/recommended/kubernetes-dashboard.yaml

To check the PODs with kubectl get pods --all-namespaces, I get

NAMESPACE     NAME                                    READY   STATUS             RESTARTS   AGE

kube-system   kube-controller-manager-myserver        1/1     Running            0          79m
kube-system   kube-proxy-9ls64                        1/1     Running            0          80m
kube-system   kube-scheduler-myserver                 1/1     Running            0          79m
kube-system   kubernetes-dashboard-77fd78f978-tqt8m   1/1     Running            0          80m
kube-system   weave-net-zmhwg                         2/2     Running            0          80m

So CoreDNS keeps crashing. The only error messages I could found were from /var/log/syslog:

Oct  4 18:06:44 myserver kubelet[16397]: E1004 18:06:44.961409   16397 pod_workers.go:186] Error syncing pod c456a48b-c7c3-11e8-bf23-02426706c77f ("coredns-68fb79bcf6-6s5bp_kube-system(c456a48b-c7c3-11e8-bf23-02426706c77f)"), skipping: failed to "StartContainer" for "coredns" with CrashLoopBackOff: "Back-off 5m0s restarting failed container=coredns pod=coredns-68fb79bcf6-6s5bp_kube-system(c456a48b-c7c3-11e8-bf23-02426706c77f)"

and from kubectl logs coredns-68fb79bcf6-6s5bp -n kube-system:

Some solutions I found are to issue

kubectl -n kube-system get deployment coredns -o yaml | \
sed 's/allowPrivilegeEscalation: false/allowPrivilegeEscalation: true/g' | \
kubectl apply -f -

and to modify /etc/resolv.conf to point to an actual DNS, not to localhost, which I tried as well.

The issue is described in https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/independent/troubleshooting-kubeadm/#pods-in-runcontainererror-crashloopbackoff-or-error-state and I tried many different Pod Networks but no help.

I've run sudo kubeadm reset && rm -rf ~/.kube/ && sudo kubeadm init several times.

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04, Kubernetes 1.12 and Docker 17.03. Any ideas?

I also have the same issue.

I've solved the problem by deleting the plugins 'loop' within the cm of coredns. but i don't know if this cloud case other porblems.

1、kubectl edit cm coredns -n kube-system

2、delete ‘loop’ ,save and exit

3、restart coredns pods by:kubectl delete pod coredns.... -n kube-system
