localhost:8080 is the default server to connect to if there is no kubeconfig present on your system (for the current user).

Follow the instructions on the page linked. You will need to execute something like:

gcloud container clusters get-credentials [CLUSTER_NAME]

Hey I resolved my error of:

Try using this GitHub thread and read the entire comment and do exactly as it says:

It turned out to be a combination of commands and references to incompatible docker versions, as well as some minor things that Kubernetes documentation 03-31-2021 forgot to mention.
