Kind: Failed to create cluster: failed to apply overlay network: exit status 1

Created on 8 Oct 2018 · 6Comments · Source: kubernetes-sigs/kind

Hi I tried running kind and encountered the following errors. Full log attached at the bottom.

Notable lines:

Error processing tar file(exit status 1): write /usr/local/bin/kube-controller-manager: no space left on device
[WARNING ImagePull]: failed to pull image [k8s.gcr.io/kube-controller-manager-amd64:v1.11.3]: exit status 1

FATA[1007-16:12:53] Failed to create cluster: failed to apply overlay network: exit status 1

So I guess there are two issues here:

Failing to install kube-controller-manager. I'm not sure why it complained no space left on device. I'm using Docker Toolbox for Windows https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/toolbox_install_windows/ and the disk was far from full.

~$ df

Early exit on error. I think the create process should have stopped at the initial "no space left on device" error but it went on a while.

This is almost definitely: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kind/issues/22, the current tradeoffs use memory too heavily for docker for Windows / docker for Mac. Even after that issue is closed though most likely we need to recommend that users increase the docker VM / hypervisor memory allocation. At least on docker for Mac the default is too small to fit much of a cluster.

The "out of disk" is likely in the docker overlay inside the container which is a tmpfs currently. I'll switch it to a volume finally today 😬
