Offline install (1.21) fails on RHEL
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Summary
Relates to #321
This an upgrade from 1.19 to 1.21
Process
https://microk8s.io/docs/install-alternatives#heading--offline
Current results:
sudo snap ack microk8s_2210.assert
sudo install microk8s_2210.snap -classic
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
-Ensure prerequisites for "microk8s" are available (cannot install snap base "core18": Post https://api.snapcraft.io/v2/snaps/refresh: dial tcp: lookup api.snapcraft.io on xx.xx.xx.xx:53: read tcp: xx.xx.xx.xx:35831->xx.xx.xx.xx:53: i/o timeout)
So, I then downloaded the latest snap core ( https://microk8s.io/docs/install-alternatives#heading--offline ).... that retrieved core_11167.assert and core_11167.snap. I installed them successfully I still get the same exact error (core18) described above.
Help!

Hi. Sorry to hear you had more trouble with this. I know it relates to installing MicroK8s, but seems more of an issue with the snaps not working as expected, possibly due to something in the core snap. I will have to look into that
@degville have you come across anything similar with your experience of snaps? Offline installs work fine on Ubuntu, but Fedora (and other platforms) will require the relevant core-snap. Should we be targeting a specific one?
I eventually got 1.21 to work by installing both snap core & snap core18. Now we are stuck with this
( canonical/microk8s#2361 ) issue and cannot get any traction on it (fix is included in the writeup). Trying not to be sarcastic, but "MicroK8s is the simplest production-grade upstream K8s" doesn't ring true anymore. FIPS is more common everyday and free to install/test against. Please help if you can by raising awareness of FIPS compatibility with your product owners.
clossing this as it is being looked at on the above issue.
