Istio Deployments Not happening

I am trying to install istio in a minikube cluster

I followed the tutorial on this page https://istio.io/docs/setup/kubernetes/quick-start/

I am trying to use Option 1 : https://istio.io/docs/setup/kubernetes/quick-start/#option-1-install-istio-without-mutual-tls-authentication-between-sidecars

I can see that the services have been created but the deployment seems to have failed.

kubectl get pods -n istio-system 
No resources found

How can i troubleshoot this ?

Here are the results of get deployment

kubectl get deployment -n istio-system

How are you starting Minikube? – Crou

This is what worked for me. Don't use the --extra-configs while starting minikube. This is crashing kube-controller-manager-minikube as its not able to find the file

error starting controllers: failed to start certificate controller: error reading CA cert file "/var/lib/localkube/certs/ca.crt": open /var/lib/localkube/certs/ca.crt: no such file or directory

Just start minikube with this command. I have minikube V0.30.0.

minikube start

Output:

Kubectl is now configured to use the cluster.
Loading cached images from config file.

Pointing to istio-1.0.4 folder, run this command 

kubectl apply -f install/kubernetes/helm/istio/templates/crds.yaml

This should install all the required crds

Run this command

kubectl apply -f install/kubernetes/istio-demo.yaml

After successful creation of rules, services, deployments etc., Run this command

 kubectl get pods -n istio-system

Also try customizing the installation via Helm template. You don't need to have Tiller deployed for that.

1) kubectl apply -f install/kubernetes/helm/istio/templates/crds.yaml

2) helm template install/kubernetes/helm/istio --name istio --namespace istio-system --set grafana.enabled=true --set servicegraph.enabled=true --set tracing.enabled=true --set kiali.enabled=true --set sidecarInjectorWebhook.enabled=true --set global.tag=1.0.5 > $HOME/istio.yaml

3) kubectl create namespace istio-system

4) kubectl apply -f $HOME/istio.yaml
