• Others:
  Our hosts are setup using IPv4 BGP over IPv6 (rfc5549: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5549).
  The host ip address is attached to a loopback address and FRR bgp announces that IP to connected TOR switches (spine and leaf fabric). There is no IPv4 address on the connected interfaces, but I do have a default route that allows access to the world:

default proto bgp metric 20

Same error happens with doing kubeadm init

What you expected to happen?

I expect kubeadm to work and pull the images or perform an init.
Maybe have a way to specify my hosts's ip address or interface.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

Anything else we need to know?

[timothysc]

@bart0sh @kad - Do you have any network setups that are similar to this?

[timothysc]

@scheuk what's the local resolvable IPv4 address for that host?
Can you add it to /etc/hosts, and specify to kubeadm config?

/cc @kubernetes/sig-network-bugs

[rosskukulinski]

@timothysc do we know if the api-server will work with this kind of environment? I'm just wondering if we get kubeadm to work in this network setup, are we going to run into more problems down the road?

[timothysc]

If you have a specific ethernet adaptor that wraps the details and you can bind to, or /etc/hosts override I would think it should "just work".

[scheuk]

@timothysc
my local host IP sits on lo0:

# ip addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet 10.101.228.11/32 brd 10.101.228.11 scope global lo:0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

the 10.101.228.11 ip address

I've spent the morning makingkubeadm init work.
I was able to add this to the config and init worked like a charm.

api:
  advertiseAddress: 10.101.228.11

However I'm still stuck needing a route to perform both the kubeadm config images pull command
as well as kubeadm token create --print-join-command to get the join command to add worker nodes to the cluster.

[scheuk]

@timothysc
Can you explain the /etc/hosts override?

I just attempted to add 10.101.228.11 hostname to /etc/hosts.
but kubeadm is still looking at the interface with the route.

[timothysc]

So this has todo with the specifics of your networking configuration, coupled with the default behavior of the system.

I'm fairly certain if you were to make a bridged adapter to bind the IPv4 address to, vs. being bound to loopback, it would detect properly.

I'm digging right now to see if there is a global override for the nic that works across *.

[timothysc]

So it would be a combination of --api-advertise-addresses and --hostname-override , I'm not certain all those options percolate to all the subcommands, still digging.

[timothysc]

@scheuk could you run

kubeadm config images pull --config yourconfig.yaml

with your config file specifying: advertiseAddress

[timothysc]

You may need to pass in --config for every sub-command b/c the way your network is set up.

[mauilion]

you can run kubeadm token create --print-join-command from any host or a pipeline with the --kubeconfig flag.

A possible work around for the images pull thing given the config would be something like:
kubeadm config images list | xargs -n1 -I {} docker pull {}
run prior to init

[scheuk]

@timothysc @mauilion

No go on --kubeconfig:

# kubeadm token create --print-join-command --kubeconfig /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf
unable to select an IP from default routes.

also if I try with --config it says you can't combine those two:

# kubeadm token create --print-join-command --config /etc/kubernetes/kubeadm.conf
can not mix '--config' with arguments [print-join-command]

This worked, I'll update my deployment to do this

# kubeadm config images pull --config /etc/kubernetes/kubeadm.conf

[mauilion]

I mean that you can use kubeadm token create from a machine with a default route like your laptop as long as it has access to the running apiserver and an admin level kubeconfig

[timothysc]

@scheuk

# kubeadm token create --print-join-command --config /etc/kubernetes/kubeadm.conf 
can not mix '--config' with arguments [print-join-command]

is a minor bug that we can fix in 1.13

Are you still blocked?

[scheuk]

@timothysc

I am still blocked.
We use ansible to perform all these steps and I currently execute
kubeadm token create --print-join-command on the first master to get the command to join the worker nodes to the cluster. However I may be able to temporarily unblock myself by doing what @mauilion says, and setup kubeadm locally (where ansible is run from) to perform that action.

Thanks for all the help so far!

[timothysc]

We use ansible to perform all these steps and I currently execute
kubeadm token create --print-join-command on the first master to get the command to join the worker nodes to the cluster.

The output of init contains the command you should execute on the other nodes.

[mauilion]

This normally done in ansible as the token is short lived and it's easier to capture the join command output from token create rather than init.

[scheuk]

Also it's a little bit harder to parse with all the other output and spacing ;)

[timothysc]

Also it's a little bit harder to parse with all the other output and spacing ;)

I've done so much sed & awk in my life I'm probably too desensitized ;-)

[scheuk]

So my localhost where I would run kubeadm from ansible is a mac.
From the kubeadm install page, it doesn't support mac os x.

[kad]

@kad our network team has quite moved to ipv6 yet, but they have bought into cumulus linux routing on the host using the ipv6 link local addresses and the RFC mentioned above.
here a link to how it works: https://docs.cumulusnetworks.com/display/ROH/Routing+on+the+Host
under the BGP and OSPF Unnumbered Interfaces section.

@scheuk thanks for clarifications. So, to summarize whole picture (to see, if I comprehend your setup completely):

• your host has on lo interface one (or more?) /32 ipv4 addresses.
• you don't have unicast ipv6 /128 addresses on lo (similar as for ipv4 scenarios)
• network interfaces use link-locals on bofh ipv4/ipv6.
• ospf/bgp used to announce real routes to host and host's /32 or /128 are announced back to TORs.

Is that correct ?

if that is correct above, can you share one more output of ip ro get 8.8.8.8 ?
(instead of 8.8.8.8 you can use any of unicast IP. I'm trying to understand what kernel will use as outgoing source address for default route and routes that you got over ospf/bgp, outside of your cluster IP range).

[kad]

@scheuk you can try patch from #69578 to see, if it works in your setup.
If you need some help, I can provide built binary with that patch applied.

[scheuk]

@kad your understanding of our setup is correct.
BGP does announce other routes as well, it's configured to pick up local blackhole routes and announce them, but that is for POD connectivity vs host connectivity.

Here's the output of ip ro get on the host:

# ip ro get 8.8.8.8
8.8.8.8 via 169.254.0.1 dev em2 src 10.101.228.11
    cache

I'll attempt to test the patch from #69578 as well and let you know

[scheuk]

@kad can you send me a binary, might take less time then me setting up go/figuring how to add a patch :)

[kad]

@kad can you send me a binary, might take less time then me setting up go/figuring how to add a patch :)

try http://orava.kad.name/kubeadm/kubeadm-69578
This kubeadm is built out of master branch. but minimally it should be ok for trying in your setup.

[scheuk]

@kad looking good:

good. so, please comment on PR :)

[timothysc]

/cc @rdodev - regarding cli-arg issue(s).

[neolit123]

related PR for this is in flight by @kad but reviews are pending:
kubernetes/kubernetes#69578

/assign @rdodev

Lets chat in the morning on this one.

[rdodev]

kubeadm token create --print-join-command --config /etc/kubernetes/kubeadm.conf can not mix '--config' with arguments [print-join-command]

In terms of cli this has already been taken care of @timothysc

[timothysc]

gr8!

[dancarneiro]

Just put the master's ip in place of $ (hostname -i)
For exemple:
kubeadm init --apiserver-advertise-address 192.168.1.2

[rijuchatterjee]

kubeadm init --apiserver-advertise-address even kubeadm join does not work. Has anyone been able to join to a cluster using --apiserver-advertise-address

[asher-lab]

I fixed mine by not using 127.0.x.x as a --apiserver-advertise-address and --apiserver-cert-extra-sans=$IPADDR

try to use 10.0.0.10

Example:

IPADDR="10.0.0.10"
NODENAME=$(hostname -s)
POD_CIDR="192.168.0.0/16"

sudo kubeadm init --apiserver-advertise-address=$IPADDR  --apiserver-cert-extra-sans=$IPADDR  --pod-network-cidr=$POD_CIDR --node-name $NODENAME --ignore-preflight-errors Swap
