run byoh-hostagent-linux-amd64 as root -> Unauthorized

knfoo opened this issue · comments

What steps did you take and what happened:
I am trying to add my VM's to byoh and if I run the byoh-hostagent-linux-amd64 command as a non-root user it works and then kubeadm bootstrap complains that it is an unprivileged user.
However running byoh-hostagent-linux-amd64 as root gives me Unauthorized error

I am running byoh-hostagent-linux-amd64 with --skip-installation as I am running on Debian servers.

What did you expect to happen:
That the node is registered as it is with the non-root user.

Anything else you would like to add:
[Miscellaneous information that will assist in solving the issue.]

Environment:

  • Cluster-api-provider-bringyourownhost version: v0.3.1
  • Kubernetes version: (use kubectl version --short): .1.25.3
  • OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release): Debian 11

Hi @knfoo, Is it possible to provide the error output you are getting while running the agent with root user?

@dharmjit

As you can see I use the same bootstrap config for both root and none-root user and with the non-root user it works.

"msg"="in request certificate" "error"="cannot create certificate signing request: Unauthorized"

This error occurs when the bootstrap kubeconfig doesn't have the right permissions. I guess you have followed the steps documented here. The RBAC is defined in ClusterRoleBinding named byoh-csr-creator-clusterrole-binding. Could you check if this ClusterRoleBinding exists in your management cluster?

with the non-root user it works.

In the logs, you could see that it already finds kubeconfig in the /home/kn/.byoh/config. In this case, it skips the bootstrap kubeconfig flow.

@dharmjit thank you for pointing out what I missed in the logs I copied the config from /home/kn to /root and now it works :)

I ran into the next problem that maybe you can help with ?

when installing the cluster it never moves past the controlplane node...

kubectl get secret/byoh-cluster-kubeconfig -o json   | jq -r .data.value   | base64 --decode > kubeconfig.yaml

Hi @knfoo, Have you figured this out? I guess you are creating 1 CP 1 worker node cluster. Can you share the agent logs for the host which is supposed to become the worker node?

@dharmjit thanks to that hint I found that there is a preflight error.

I tried to fix that by:


https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/config-api/kubeadm-config.v1beta2/ more specifically `ignorePreflightErrors` but but cluster-api versions installed with byoh is v1beta1 

so I am kind of stuck on this new error

I got past that error and now I get by installing the linux-image package in my Xen VM's.

Kubeadm preflight checks are related to system/kernel configurations. I guess you are past that. Are you facing any other issues?

Yes I now have a running cluster 💯 thank you for all your help 👍
