I followed -- https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/2023/12/how-to-install-kubernetes-in-ubuntu-22-04-with-kubeadm/

Everything worked on the Master node.ย  Kubeadm reported them joining OK, but a "kubectl get nodes" showed a problem and getting refused locally. " sudo systemctl status containerd" shows things running on all 3 servers.ย  What are the next steps to diagnose?

(Part of the issue may be that it is sometimes unclear what gets run where.ย  Steps 1-6, 10 I ran on all 3 nodes. Steps 7,9 I ran only on the master and step 8 I only ran on the workers. )

# kubeadm join 192.168.50.150:6443 --token 3gfszc.22zm36h111181qww \
--discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:522db419b63f19712b7343f0911111ed7096611111d9c2ae1a81e13c47001f1b

This node has joined the cluster:
* Certificate signing request was sent to apiserver and a response was received.
* The Kubelet was informed of the new secure connection details.

Run 'kubectl get nodes' on the control-plane to see this node join the cluster.

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

@syzygy Thank you for joining the forums and the question! This seems like a kube config problem most likely. On your master API server, you will want to make sure and run the following:

mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config

This should correctly configure kubectl to communicate with the control plane. You could also copy this file from your master node to the workers and run kubectl commands from there as well. Let me know if this helps. Welcome again to the forums.

@syzygy No worries! There are a lot of moving parts and steps. Great suggestion to make it more clear on which nodes you need to run this on as well 👍
