Diverse Kubernetes and Vagrant problems

Question

I am using WmWare Workstation running a Linux vm which runs the vagrant and kubernetes environment.

I have a problem using kubernetes with vagrant. Every time if I shutdown the kubernetes cluster with the kube-down.sh tool and restart with kube-up.sh, I cannot connect to the minions anymore! I think it has something to do with the IP binding. Does somebody know what to do?

The other problem is if I try to install the guestbook example I cannot download the redis image. The pods are always stays in PENDING state. Is there a way to download the image manually and add it as a file?

Thank you in advance.

Regards :)

Answer 1

Each run of kube-up.sh is intended to generate a new cluster. As such, it will create new credentials for the cluster and any existing nodes are not expected to continue to work with the new master components.

Answer 2

With a slow network it will take a while to set up everything behind the scenes; for me it took about 1h before I saw every pod in a running state:

$ kubectl get pods
NAME                 READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
guestbook-7ihd2      1/1       Running   0          2h
guestbook-8fjs3      1/1       Running   0          2h
guestbook-fifmm      1/1       Running   0          2h
redis-master-ivebc   1/1       Running   0          3h
redis-slave-6qxga    1/1       Running   0          2h
redis-slave-r8bk4    1/1       Running   0          2h

But in the end it worked!
