I got Kubernetes Minikube on my laptop (4cores, 8 GB RAM). I just performed the basic installation steps (got miniKube and kubectl, enabled the BIOS virtualization) and I am able to start the cluster:
C:\Users\me>minikube start
Starting local Kubernetes cluster...
Starting VM...
SSH-ing files into VM...
Setting up certs...
Starting cluster components...
Connecting to cluster...
Setting up kubeconfig...
Kubectl is now configured to use the cluster.
However, when I try to interact with the cluster, I allways get the same error, sample:
C:\Users\me>kubectl get pods --context=minikube
Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp 192.168.99.100:8443: connectex: A connection attempt failed because the connected party
did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
I execute minikube ip and I ping the result IP and I get a response. Also I tried to give more memory (3Gb vs the standard 2Gb) and nothing changed.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks!
I had same issue as above. I found out that kubectl couldn't connect to the cluster and would throw up the error when i'm on a VPN connection. When I turned off my VPN client, it started working as fine.
I think it could be some problem with the cluster, when I run minikube status I've got the mixed results of cluster running and cluster stopped:
First run:
c:\> minikube status
minikube: Running
cluster: Stopped
kubectl: Correctly Configured: pointing to minikube-vm at 192.168.99.100
Second run:
minikube: Running
cluster: Running
kubectl: Correctly Configured: pointing to minikube-vm at 192.168.99.100
Third run:
minikube: Running
cluster: Stopped
kubectl: Correctly Configured: pointing to minikube-vm at 192.168.99.100
The service is flapping.
UPDATED:
Connecting to the minikube vm using minikube ssh I realized the kubeconfig file have wrong path separator for certificates generated by minikube automatic configuration. The path on kubeconfig file stands for \var\lib\localkube\certs\ca.cert and it have to be /var/lib/localkube/certs/ca.cert and so on...
To update the file I have to copy the content of the orignal file to my desktop, fix the directory separators and save the correct file to /var/lib/localkube/kubeconfig and restart the service using:
sudo systemclt restart localkube.
I hope everyone can use minikube with this tip.
If it keep to hit 8443 connection issue when changed work environment, would simplify turn off TLS verification for minikube local cluster if there is not clue.

Hope it is helpful for you.

Run minikube start --alsologtostderr -v=7 to debug crashes
I had the same problem:
check if a some service of a VPN is running by checking the task management, for me, I had a running service of my VPN, so kill the task and try to run the command showed above

I try to run minikube v0.22.1 and kubectl v1.7.5 on MacOS with Virtualbox.
$ minikube start
Starting local Kubernetes v1.7.5 cluster...

The connection to the server 192.168.99.100:8443 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?
The solution proposed here (sudo ifconfig vboxnet0 up) did not help, the vboxnet0 interface is up.
Any ideas or suggestions are highly appreciated.
If you run
kubectl config get-contexts
Do you get the following?
CURRENT NAME CLUSTER AUTHINFO NAMESPACE
* minikube minikube minikube
If not that means your kubectl context is not correctly setup. To setup the context correctly run this
kubectl config use-context minikube
You may have it stopped or saved for any reason. sometimes, after you enable/disable addons you may need to restart it.
1) Restart minikube VM, stop it
$ minikube stop
2) Start it again, make sure you assign enough cpu/memory (the following is just an example of how to pass it, you need to adjust it based on available resources in your machine)
$ minikube start --memory=10000 --cpu 4
If this didn't work out, you can do the following that will help you to know more about the underlying cause of problem:
Check minikube status and make sure the status is Running
$ minikube status
Or, check minkube logs:
minikube logs
Finally, if you couldn't fix it, you may need to delete and start it from scratch
$ minikube delete && minikube start

I will just drop this in here in case anyone find this question.
As of right now I don't know the versions of the OP's setup. So I'm going to assume he has the latest version that was available when he posted, which was: 0.22.1
Description
I had a similar issue. The cluster was timing-out irregularly. One moment I got answers using kubectl cluster-info dump another I didn't. Then it worked again, and then it didn't. I found a github bug report with a solution.
Solution
Remove your VirtualBox VM.
Remove the ./minikube folder.
Remove the minikube executable.
Install version 0.19.0.
Verify that minikube is working with: kubectl
Versions
OS: Windows 10 (Home edition)
Minikube bugged version: 0.22.2
Minikube working version: 0.19.0
Kubectl (client): v1.7.0
Kubectl (server): v1.6.0
EDIT:
I kept having some issue with minikube after I posted this original answer. I found something that fixed the issue completely.
It's related to the dynamic memory setting in Hyper-V.
Solution
1. Turn off the hyper-v minikube VM.
2. Go to the VM's settings.
3. Turn off dynamic memory allocation.
4. Assign a decent amount of memory.
5. Save and turn the VM on again.
This should work with any minikube version. See this github issue for progress on an automatated solution
When debugging the minikube commands, e.g.
$ minikube dashboard --loglevel 0 --logtostderr
some proxy issues became visible and could be solved.
I ran into this situation this morning (another Monday!) on MacOS 11.3 with minikube v1.19.0.
I ran minikube status and got the following:
E0503 14:15:43.912005 7308 status.go:412] kubeconfig endpoint: got: 127.0.0.1:64041, want: 127.0.0.1:56537
minikube
type: Control Plane
host: Running
kubelet: Stopped
apiserver: Stopped
kubeconfig: Misconfigured
WARNING: Your kubectl is pointing to stale minikube-vm.
To fix the kubectl context, run `minikube update-context`
Seemed like good advice, so I did run minikube update-context and got this:
🎉 "minikube" context has been updated to point to 127.0.0.1:56537
💗 Current context is "minikube"
After which everything worked like it did on Friday.
After the Linux Security OS patching and reboot we are unable to start kubernetes service received below error.
Error message: The connection to the server 192.168.1.101:8443 received while starting the kubernetes service.
This issue happened due to systemd package got updated during the security patching.
So We did below action to bring up the application On each master nodes
1. Update the /usr/lib/systemd/system/kubelet.service fie by removing the below two lines:
ExecStartPost=/bin/bash -c 'umask 0022; pgrep -x kubelet > /run/kubelet.pid'
ExecStopPost=/bin/bash -c 'rm -f /run/kubelet.pid'
2. Update the /usr/lib/systemd/system/kube-proxy.service fie by removing the below two lines:
ExecStartPost=/bin/bash -c 'umask 0022; pgrep -x kubelet > /run/kubelet.pid'
ExecStopPost=/bin/bash -c 'rm -f /run/kubelet.pid'
3. Run the kube-restart.sh on the master nodes.
4. run the kube-restart.sh on the worker nodes.
Update: I am using minikube version: v1.25.2
The command mentioned in this thread did NOT work:
minikube start --memory=10000 --cpu 4 #this will FAIL
This, however, DID WORK (use cpus instead. I also changed values to show minimum requirement for Docker):
minikube start --memory=1800 --cpus=2 # this will work
minikube start --memory=1800 --cpus 2 # this will also work
minikube delete && minikube start
sudo minikube start --vm-driver=none (start minikube again)
This solved my problem
minikube delete
minikube start
just restarted the container
I installed Kubernetes in virtual BOX previously it was working properly but not it is showing The connection to the server 192.168.42.141:6443 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?, Please help.
The connection to the server 192.168.42.141:6443 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?
According to issue there might be kube-apiserver not running state. To check the apiserver status run following command
$ docker ps
# If above is not sowing apiserver container, then it is stopped, To see the stopped container run
$ docker ps -a
P.S: From the comment there is also a version mismatch. To update kubectl follow this
kubectl on any machine reads the current context from kubeconfig file. The file is located at the path $USER_HOME/.kube/config
There are clusters configured inside this file alongwith the IP or domain name of the cluster. If the IP is invalid or not reachable OR the domain name can not be resolved and is unreachable OR the config file is corrupted or the config file is empty, then this error occurs.
In brief, you need to check your config file. It will save you a lot of effort.
I recently installed kubernetes on VMware and also configured few pods , while configuring those pods , it automatically used IP of the VMware and configured. I was able to access the application during that time but then recently i rebooted VM and machine which hosts the VM, during this - IP of the VM got changed i guess and now - I am getting below error when using command kubectl get pod -n <namspaceName>:
userX#ubuntu:~$ kubectl get pod -n NameSpaceX
Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp 192.168.214.136:6443: connect: no route to host
userX#ubuntu:~$ kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"14", GitVersion:"v1.14.1", GitCommit:"b7394102d6ef778017f2ca4046abbaa23b88c290", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2019-04-08T17:11:31Z", GoVersion:"go1.12.1", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp 192.168.214.136:6443: connect: no route to host
kubectl cluster-info as well as other related commands gives same output.
in VMware workstation settings, we are using network adapter which is sharing host IP address setting. We are not sure if it has any impact.
We also tried to add below entry in /etc/hosts , it is not working.
127.0.0.1 localhost \n
192.168.214.136 localhost \n
127.0.1.1 ubuntu
I expect to run the pods back again to access the application.Instead of reinstalling all pods which is time consuming - we are looking for quick workaround so that pods will get back to running state.
If you use minikube sometimes all you need is just to restart minikube.
Run:
minikube start
I encountered the same issue - the problem was that the master node didn't expose port 6443 outside.
Below are the steps I took to fix it.
1 ) Check IP of api-server.
This can be verified via the .kube/config file (under server field) or with: kubectl describe pod/kube-apiserver-<master-node-name> -n kube-system.
2 ) Run curl https://<kube-apiserver-IP>:6443 and see if port 6443 is open.
3 ) If port 6443 you should get something related to the certificate like:
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
4 ) If port 6443 is not open:
4.A ) SSH into master node.
4.B ) Run sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=6443/tcp --permanent (I'm assuming firewalld is installed).
4.C ) Run sudo firewall-cmd --reload.
4.D ) Run sudo firewall-cmd --list-all and you should see port 6443 is updated:
public
target: default
icmp-block-inversion: no
interfaces:
sources:
services: dhcpv6-client ssh
ports: 6443/tcp <---- Here
protocols:
masquerade: no
forward-ports:
source-ports:
icmp-blocks:
rich rules:
The common practice is to copy config file to the home directory
sudo cp /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf ~/.kube/config && sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config
Also, make sure that api-server address is valid.
server: https://<master-node-ip>:6443
If not, you can manually edit it using any text editor.
You need to export the admin.conf file as kubeconfig before running the kubectl commands. You may put this as your env variable
export kubeconfig=<path>/admin.conf
after this you should be able to run the kubectl command. I am hoping that your setup of K8S cluster is proper.
Last night I had the exact same error installing Kubernetes using this puppet module: https://forge.puppet.com/puppetlabs/kubernetes
Turns out that it is an incorrect iptables setting in the master that blocks all non-local requests towards the api.
The way I solved it (bruteforce solution) is by
completely remove alle installed k8s related software (also all config files, etcd data, docker images, mounted tmpfs filesystems, ...)
wipe the iptables completely https://serverfault.com/questions/200635/best-way-to-clear-all-iptables-rules
reinstall
This is what solved the problem in my case.
There is probably a much nicer and cleaner way to do this (i.e. simply change the iptables rules to allow access).
if you getting the below error then you also check once the token validity.
Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp 192.168.93.10:6443: connect: no route to host
Check your token validity by using the command kubeadm token list if your token is expired then you have to reset the cluster using kubeadm reset and than initialize again using command kubeadm init --token-ttl 0.
Then again check the status of the token using kubeadm token list. Note here the TTL value will be <forever> and Expire value will be <never>.
example:-
[root#master1 ~]# kubeadm token list
TOKEN TTL EXPIRES USAGES DESCRIPTION EXTRA GROUPS
nh48tb.d79ysdsaj8bchms9 <forever> <never> authentication,signing The default bootstrap token generated by 'kubeadm init'. system:bootstrappers:kubeadm:default-node-token
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Screenshot
Select docker-desktop and run again your command, e.g kubectl apply -f <myimage.yaml>
Run minikube start command
The reason behind that is your minikube cluster with driver docker stopped
when you shutdown the system
To all those who are trying to learn and experiment kubernetes using Ubuntu on Oracle VM:
IP address is assigned to Guest OS/VM based on the network adapter selection. Based on your network adapter selection, you need to configure the settings in Oracle VM network section or your router settings.
See the link for most common Oracle VM network adapter.
https://www.nakivo.com/blog/virtualbox-network-setting-guide/
I was using bridge adapter which put VM and host OS in parallel. So the my router was randomly assigning IP to my VM after every restart and my cluster stopped working and getting the same exact error message posted in the question.
> k get pods -A
> Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp 192.168.214.136:6443: connect: no route to host
> systemctl status kubelet
> ........
> ........ "Error getting node" err="node \"node\" not found"
Cluster started working again after reserving static IP address to my VM in router settings.(if you are using NAT adapter, you should configure it in VM network settings)
When you are reserving IP address to your VM, make sure to assign the same old IP address which was used for configuring kubelet.
I have installed Minikube and am following the "Hello minikube" tutorial:
https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/stateless-application/hello-minikube/#create-a-minikube-cluster
I have started minikube using the Hyperv driver:
minikube start --vm-driver="hyperv" --hyperv-virtual-switch="New Virtual Switch" --alsologtostderr
When I try to build an image using the Minikube Docker daemon, get the following error:
Step 1/4 : FROM node:6.9.2
Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/: dial tcp: lookup registry-1.docker.io on 172.24.209.161:53: server misbehaving
What is going wrong here, and how can I fix it?
Here is some info about my environment:
minikube version: v0.23.0
OS: Windows 10 17_09
Try to clear all Docker data. This has done the job to me ;)
Try this if you can build your images on the local machine then take a copy of
/etc/resolv.conf
and copy the values and insert into the minikube cluster's /etc/resolv.conf using minikube ssh after all its just a VM and you are accessing the docker-engine/server using the environment variables..!!!
cheers :)
