Docker – Unable to run Hyperkube (kubernetes) locally via Docker

dockerkubernetes

I have followed this tutorial in order to run kubernetes cluster locally in a Docker container. When I run kubectl get nodes, I get:

The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused – did you
specify the right host or port?

I have noticed that some containers started by kubelet, like apiserver, are exited. This is the output of docker ps -a:

I've reproduced your issue before, and I've also successfully run the kubelet container a couple times.

Here is the exact command I am running when it succeeds: export K8S_VERSION=v1.2.2 docker run \ --volume=/:/rootfs:ro \ --volume=/sys:/sys:ro \ --volume=/var/lib/docker/:/var/lib/docker:rw \ --volume=/var/lib/kubelet/:/var/lib/kubelet:rw \ --volume=/var/run:/var/run:rw \ --net=host \ --pid=host \ --privileged=true \ --name=kubelet \ -d \ gcr.io/google_containers/hyperkube-amd64:${K8S_VERSION} \ /hyperkube kubelet \ --containerized \ --hostname-override="127.0.0.1" \ --address="0.0.0.0" \ --api-servers=http://localhost:8080 \ --config=/etc/kubernetes/manifests \ --allow-privileged=true --v=2

I removed these 2 settings from the tutorial's suggested command because DNS wasn't needed in my case: --cluster-dns=10.0.0.10 --cluster-domain=cluster.local

Also, I started the docker SSH portal in the background before starting the kubelet container, using this command:

docker-machine ssh `docker-machine active` -f -N -L "8080:localhost:8080"

I also did not make any changes to SSL certificates.

I am able to run the kubelet container with K8S_VERSION=v1.2.2 and K8S_VERSION=1.2.3.

On a successful run, I observe all the processes are "Up"; none are "Exited":

On a successful run, I also see similar log output as you when I run docker logs kubelet. In particular, I see: Unable to register 127.0.0.1 with the apiserver: Post http://localhost:8080/api/v1/nodes: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8080: connection refused

But, eventually, it works: $ kubectl -s http://localhost:8080 cluster-info Kubernetes master is running at http://localhost:8080 $ kubectl get nodes NAME STATUS AGE 127.0.0.1 Ready 1h 192.168.99.100 NotReady 1h localhost NotReady 1h

Other tips:

  • You might need to wait a little bit for the API server to start up. For example, this guy uses a while loop: until $(kubectl -s http://localhost:8080 cluster-info &> /dev/null); do sleep 1 done

  • On Mac OS X, I've noticed the Docker VM can get unstable whenever my wireless changes, or when I suspend/resume my laptop. I can usually resolve such issues with a docker-machine restart.

  • When experimenting with kubelet, I'll often want to stop the kubelet container and stop/remove all containers in my docker. I do that by running docker stop kubelet && docker rm -f $(docker ps -aq)
