I recently got started to learn Kubernetes by using Minikube locally in my Mac. Previously, I was able to start a local Kubernetes cluster with Minikube 0.10.0, created a deployment and viewed Kubernetes dashboard.
Yesterday I tried to delete the cluster and re-did everything from scratch. However, I found I cannot get the assets deployed and cannot view the dashboard. From what I saw, everything seemed to get stuck during container creation.
After I ran minikube start
, it reported
Starting local Kubernetes cluster...
Kubectl is now configured to use the cluster.
When I ran kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
, it reported (pay attention to the STATUS column):
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
NAMESPACE NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
kube-system kube-addon-manager-minikube 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 51s
docker ps
showed nothing:
docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
minikube status
tells me the VM and cluster are running:
minikubeVM: Running
localkube: Running
If I tried to create a deployment and an autoscaler, I was told they were created successfully:
kubectl create -f configs
deployment "hello-minikube" created
horizontalpodautoscaler "hello-minikube-autoscaler" created
$ kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
NAMESPACE NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
default hello-minikube-661011369-1pgey 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 1m
default hello-minikube-661011369-91iyw 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 1m
kube-system kube-addon-manager-minikube 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 21m
When exposing the service, it said:
$ kubectl expose deployment hello-minikube --type=NodePort
service "hello-minikube" exposed
$ kubectl get service
NAME CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
hello-minikube 10.0.0.32 <nodes> 8080/TCP 6s
kubernetes 10.0.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 22m
When I tried to access the service, I was told:
curl $(minikube service hello-minikube --url)
Waiting, endpoint for service is not ready yet...
docker ps
still showed nothing. It looked to me everything got stuck when creating a container. I tried some other ways to work around this issue:
None of them worked for me.
Kubernetes is still new to me and I would like to know:
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
It turned out to be a network problem in my case.
The pod status is "ContainerCreating", and I found during container creation, docker image will be pulled from gcr.io, which is inaccessible in China (blocked by GFW). Previous time it worked for me because I happened to connect to a VPN.
