kubectl get nodes not showing workers - kubernetes

Question

I am following this tutorial with 2 vms running CentOS7. Everything looks fine (no errors during installation/setup) but I can't see my nodes.
NOTE:
I am running this on VMWare VMs
kub1 is my master and kub2 my worker node
kubectl get nodes output:
[root#kub1 ~]# kubectl cluster-info
Kubernetes master is running at http://kub1:8080
To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use 'kubectl cluster-info dump'.
[root#kub2 ~]# kubectl cluster-info
Kubernetes master is running at http://kub1:8080
To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use 'kubectl cluster-info dump'.
nodes:
[root#kub1 ~]# kubectl get nodes
[root#kub1 ~]# kubectl get nodes -a
[root#kub1 ~]#
[root#kub2 ~]# kubectl get nodes -a
[root#kub2 ~]# kubectl get no
[root#kub2 ~]#
cluster events:
[root#kub1 ~]# kubectl get events -a

QUESTION: any idea why my nodes are not shown using "kubectl get nodes"?

Answer 1

My issue was that the KUBELET_HOSTNAME on /etc/kubernetes/kubeletvalue didn't match the hostname.
I commented that line, then restarted the services and I could see my worker after that.
hope that helps

Answer 2

Not sure about your scenario, but I have solved it after 3-4 hours of efforts.
Solved
I was facing this issue, because my docker cgroup driver was different than kubernetes cgroup driver.
Just updated it to cgroupfs using following commands mentioned in doc.
cat << EOF > /etc/docker/daemon.json
{
"exec-opts": ["native.cgroupdriver=cgroupfs"]
}
EOF
Restart docker service service docker restart.
Reset kubernetes on slave node: kubeadm reset
Joined master again: kubeadm join <><>
It was visible on master using kubectl get nodes.

I had a similar problem after installing k8s using kubespray on fedora31, and to debug the issue, tried to run a random container directly using docker run that failed with:
docker: Error response from daemon: cgroups: cgroup mountpoint does not exist: unknown.
this is a known problem cause by cgroup version on fedora 31, and the fix is to update grub to use the previous version:
sudo dnf install grubby
sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0"
