how to use new release of kubernetes as default in minikube - kubernetes

I installed the minikube for local kubernetes development according to article DevOps-Kubernetes-1-Running-Kubernetes-Locally-via-Minikube
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
minikube 0.20.0
The default kubernetes for minikube 0.20.0 is v1.6.4 and I use follow command to use new release v1.7.0
minikube start --kubernetes-version v1.7.0
How can I set this as default in configuration for minikube ?
So far, if I run minikube start, it always starts default v1.6.4 even the server VM is upgraded to v1.7.0
$ minikube start
Starting local Kubernetes v1.6.4 cluster...
Starting VM...
...
$ kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"7", GitVersion:"v1.7.0",
GitCommit:"d3ada0119e776222f11ec7945e6d860061339aad", GitTreeState:"clean",
BuildDate:"2017-06-29T23:15:59Z", GoVersion:"go1.8.3", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
The connection to the server 192.168.42.96:8443 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?

You can set its default value with:
minikube config set kubernetes-version v1.7.0
It edits ~/.minikube/config/config.json and adds:
{
"kubernetes-version": "v1.7.0"
}
Check out Selecting a Kubernetes version in the documentation. Check source code config.go for reference.

I think that's the problem, but I don't know how to fix it to make the ports match, right.
I would appreciate it if you could tell me how to solve it?
You add this flag in the start command

Kubernetes - Kubectl version command returns error

MacOs
I just install kubectl via: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/#install-kubectl-on-macos
MacBook-Air:~ admin$ kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"17", GitVersion:"v1.17.0", GitCommit:"70132b0f130acc0bed193d9ba59dd186f0e634cf", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2019-12-07T21:20:10Z", GoVersion:"go1.13.4", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"darwin/amd64"}
The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?
what could be the problem, Any ideas?
kubectl version prints out both the client version and server version. To fetch the server version, it connects to kubernetes api server. You either do not have the cluster installed or have not configured your kubectl properly to communicate with the remote cluster. So it is only printing client version and throwing an error for server version.
Sample output:
# kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"13", GitVersion:"v1.13.5", GitCommit:"2166946f41b36dea2c4626f90a77706f426cdea2", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2019-03-25T15:26:52Z", GoVersion:"go1.11.5", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}

You can use kubectl version --client to get only client version.
# kubectl version --client
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"13", GitVersion:"v1.13.5", GitCommit:"2166946f41b36dea2c4626f90a77706f426cdea2", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2019-03-25T15:26:52Z", GoVersion:"go1.11.5", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
As you mentioned you have installed kubectl - command-line tool, which allows you to run commands against Kubernetes clusters. You can use kubectl to deploy applications, inspect and manage cluster resources, and view logs.
However to kubectl could run any command you need to have a cluster.
The most common is Minikube. However, you will need a hypervisor as Virtualbox or Hyperkit.
You also should read about Docker Desktop on Mac.
If you will search for more information you can find that people also using Kubeadm but its not supported on MacOS.
It was mentioned in another StackOverflow question, you can find it here.
Note : kubectl is a command-line tool tool that allows you to run commands against Kubernetes clusters
In order for kubectl to find and access a given kubernetes cluster, it needs kubeconfig file for a given K8s cluster you want to connect with (if you dont have one you can install a local cluster to play with using something like K8s Minikube which will then give you this file to connect to minikube)
If you already have a cluster then check that kubectl is properly configured use kubectl cluster-info command , if it is not you will receive below error log.
$ kubectl cluster-info
To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use 'kubectl cluster-info dump'.
The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?
So to connect to a cluster you want work toward using kubectl you need to find kubeconfig file and configure the environment variable to point to it. Meaning if your $HOME/.kube/config file is not already listed in your KUBECONFIG environment variable, fix your KUBECONFIG environment variable by export KUBECONFIG=$KUBECONFIG:$HOME/.kube/config to point to correct kubeconfig file to be used.
Once you have right kubeconfig exported cluster-info command should load the details as below
$ kubectl cluster-info
Kubernetes master is running at https://xx.xx.xx.xx:6443
KubeDNS is running at https://xx.xx.xx.xx:6443/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-dns:dns/proxy

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

I just finished installing kubectl via Ubuntu 64 (Linux).
I followed the online Kubernetes guide, but I've had an error with the host. After the first step (install kubectl), when I checked the kubectl version, this was the message (I didn't yet install and deploy the minikube because I've not the connection according to this problem):
root#ubuntu:~# kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"13", GitVersion:"v1.13.1", GitCommit:"eec55b9ba98609a46fee712359c7b5b365bdd920", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2018-12-13T10:39:04Z", GoVersion:"go1.11.2", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?
Does someone have the same problem? How can I fix it?
The reason behind that is kubectl version prints Client Version and Server Version (kubernetes version) both. When you just install kubectl it is just Kubernetes client. If you have kubernetes cluster installed, it will print both kubectl version and kubernetes version.
If you want to just want to print client version, then use following command:
kubectl version --client=true
The error meant kubectl tried to contact the kubernetes server to get its version but couldn't connect. Are you specifying the right host or port to connect to the kubernetes server.
The reason behind the error is you have not installed kubernetes cluster on you mac. You just installed kubectl which is just a client to access kubernetes cluster. Once you install the kubernetes cluster the output of kubectl version will be like:
[root#ip-10-0-1-138 centos]# kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"13", GitVersion:"v1.13.1",
GitCommit:"eec55b9ba98609a46fee712359c7b5b365bdd920", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2018-12-13T10:39:04Z", GoVersion:"go1.11.2", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}

If you want to install the complete kubernetes cluster on mac, please try minikube to install cluster locally.
This happens when Kubectl command cannot find the config file inside the user's .kube folder. Here are the steps that you will need for your user:
mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config
Or if you are the root user:
export KUBECONFIG=/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf

Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp i/o time out

When i run the kubectl version command , I get the following error message.
kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"9", GitVersion:"v1.9.0", GitCommit:"925c127ec6b946659ad0fd596fa959be43f0cc05", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2017-12-15T21:07:38Z", GoVersion:"go1.9.2", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp 192.168.99.100:8443: i/o timeout
How do I resolve this?
You can get relevant information about the client-server status by using the following command.
kubectl config view
Now you can update or set k8s context accordingly with the following command.
kubectl config use-context CONTEXT-CHOSEN-FROM-PREVIOUS-COMMAND-OUTPUT
you can do further action on kubeconfig file. the following command will provide you with all necessary information.
kubectl config --help
You have to run first
minikube start
on your terminal. This will do following things for you:

If you use minikube then you should run, kubectl config use-context minikube

I was facing the same issue on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.
The solution provided here worked for me.
Just putting the same data here:
Get current cluster name and Zone:
gcloud container clusters list
Configure Kubernetes to use your current cluster:
gcloud container clusters get-credentials [cluster name] --zone [zone]
Hope it helps.
I had the same issue when I tried use kubrnetes installed with Docker. It turned out that it was not enbled by default.
First I enabled kubrnetes in Docker options and then I changed context for docker-for-desktop
kubectl config get-contexts
kubectl config use-context docker-for-desktop
It solved the issue.
This problem occurs because of minikube. Restart minikube will solve this problem.Run below command and it will work-
minikube stop
minikube delete
minikube start
Was facing the same problem with accessing GKE master from Google Cloud Shell.
Then I followed this GCloud doc to solve it.
Open GCloud Shell
Get External IP of the current GCloud Shell with:
dig +short myip.opendns.com #resolver1.opendns.com
Add this External IP into the "Master authorized networks" section of the GKE cluster - with a CIDR suffix of /32
After that, running kubectl get nodes from the GCloud Shell worked right away.
I got similar problem when I run
$ kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"10", GitVersion:"v1.10.11", GitCommit:"637c7e288581ee40ab4ca210618a89a555b6e7e9", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2018-11-26T14:38:32Z", GoVersion:"go1.9.3", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"darwin/amd64"}
Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp 192.168.99.100:8443: i/o timeout
And here's how I tried and finally worked.

Then I installed the kubectl with command
$ brew install kubectl

i checked the firewall port and it was closed, i opened it and it started working.
If you are using azure and have recently changed your password try this:
az account clear
az login
After logging in successfully:
az aks get-credentials --name project_name --resource-group resource_group_name
Now when you run
kubectl get nodes
you should see something. Also, make sure you are using the correct kubectl context.
My problem was that I use 2 virtual networks on my VM. The network which Kubernetes uses is always the one of the Default Gateway. However the communication network between my VMs was the other one.
You can force Kubernetes to use a different network by using the folowing flags:
sudo kubeadm init --pod-network-cidr=192.168.0.0/16 --apiserver-cert-extra-sans=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --apiserver-advertise-address=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Change the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the commmunication IP address of your K8S master.
I have two contexts and I got this error when I was in the incorrect one of the two so I switched the context and this error was resolved.
To see your current context: kubectl config current-context
To see the contexts you have: kubectl config view
To switch context: kubectl config use-context context-cluster-name
Adding this here so it can help someone with a similar problem.
In our case, we had to configure our VPC network to export its custom routes for VPC peering β€œgke-jn7hiuenrg787hudf-77h7-peer” in project β€œβ€ to the control plane's VPC network.
The control plane's VPC network is already configured to import custom routes. This provides a path for the control plane to send packets back to on-premise resources.
Step-1: Run command to see all list of context:
kubectl config view
Step-2: Now switch your context where you want to work.
kubectl config use-context [context-name]
For example:
kubectl config use-context docker-desktop
I face the same issue, it might be your ip was not added into authorize network list in the Kubernetes Cluster. Simply navigate to:
GCP console -> Kubernetes Engine -> Click into the Clusters you wish to interact with
In the target Cluster page look for:
Control plane authorized networks -> click pencil icon -> Add Authorized Network
Add your External Ip with a CIDR suffix of /32 (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/32).
One way to get your external IP on terminal / CMD:
curl -4 ifconfig.co

Creating a Kubernetes cluster with Vagrant

I need some help in creating my first Kubernetes cluster with Vagrant. I have installed Kubernetes, Vagrant and libvirt. My kubectl status displays:
[root#localhost ~]# kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"0", GitVersion:"v1.0.6", GitCommit:"388061f00f0d9e4d641f9ed4971c775e1654579d", GitTreeState:"clean"}

From the documentation I can read that the cluster can be started with:
export KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=vagrant ./cluster/kube-up.sh
However no "cluster" folder has been created by installing kubernetes, nor the "kube-up.sh" command is available. I can see only the following ones:
kube-apiserver kube-controller-manager kubectl kubelet kube-proxy kube-scheduler kube-version-change
Am I missing some steps ? Thanks
From the documentation I can read that the cluster can be started with:
export KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=vagrant ./cluster/kube-up.sh
This documentation assumes that you have downloaded a kubernetes release. You can grab the latest release (1.1.7) from the github releases page. Once you unpack kubernetes.tar.gz you should see a cluster directory with kube-up.sh inside of it that you can execute it as suggested by the documentation.
