The kubeadm command line interface is currently in **beta**. We are aiming to
not break any scripted use of the main `kubeadm init` and `kubeadm join`. The
single exception here is the format of the kubeadm config file as detailed
below. That format is still considered alpha and may change.
### `kubeadm init`
It is usually sufficient to run `kubeadm init` without any flags,
but in some cases you might like to override the default behaviour.
Here we specify all the flags that can be used to customise the Kubernetes
installation.
It is usually sufficient to run `kubeadm init` without any flags, but in some
cases you might like to override the default behaviour. Here we specify all the
flags that can be used to customise the Kubernetes installation.
- `--api-advertise-addresses` (multiple values are allowed)
- `--api-external-dns-names` (multiple values are allowed)
- `--api-advertise-address`
By default, `kubeadm init` automatically detects IP addresses and uses
these to generate certificates for the API server. This uses the IP address
of the default network interface. If you would like to access the API server
through a different IP address, or through a hostname, you can override these
defaults with `--api-advertise-addresses` and `--api-external-dns-names`.
For example, to generate certificates that verify the API server at addresses
`10.100.245.1` and `100.123.121.1`, you could use
`--api-advertise-addresses=10.100.245.1,100.123.121.1`. To allow it to be accessed
with a hostname, `--api-external-dns-names=kubernetes.example.com,kube.example.com`
Specifying `--api-advertise-addresses` disables auto detection of IP addresses.
This is the address the API Server will advertise to other members of the
cluster. This is also the address used to construct the suggested `kubeadm
join` line at the end of the init process. If not set (or set to 0.0.0.0) then
IP for the default interface will be used.
- `--cloud-provider`
This address is also added to the certifcate that the API Server uses.
Currently, `kubeadm init` does not provide autodetection of cloud provider.
This means that load balancing and persistent volumes are not supported out
of the box. You can specify a cloud provider using `--cloud-provider`.
Valid values are the ones supported by `controller-manager`, namely `"aws"`,
`"azure"`, `"cloudstack"`, `"gce"`, `"mesos"`, `"openstack"`, `"ovirt"`,
`"rackspace"`, `"vsphere"`. In order to provide additional configuration for
the cloud provider, you should create a `/etc/kubernetes/cloud-config`
file manually, before running `kubeadm init`. `kubeadm` automatically
picks those settings up and ensures other nodes are configured correctly.
The exact format and content of the file `/etc/kubernetes/cloud-config` depends
on the type you specified for `--cloud-provider`; see the appropriate documentation
for your cloud provider for details.
You must also set the `--cloud-provider` and `--cloud-config` parameters
yourself by editing the `/etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service.d/10-kubeadm.conf`
file appropriately.
- `--apiserver-bind-port`
- `--external-etcd-cafile` etcd certificate authority file
- `--external-etcd-endpoints` (multiple values are allowed)
- `--external-etcd-certfile` etcd client certificate file
- `--external-etcd-keyfile` etcd client key file
The port that the API server will bind on. This defaults to 6443.
By default, `kubeadm` deploys a single node etcd cluster on the master
to store Kubernetes state. This means that any failure on the master node
requires you to rebuild your cluster from scratch. Currently `kubeadm init`
does not support automatic deployment of a highly available etcd cluster.
If you would like to use your own etcd cluster, you can override this
behaviour with `--external-etcd-endpoints`. `kubeadm` supports etcd client
authentication using the `--external-etcd-cafile`, `--external-etcd-certfile`
and `--external-etcd-keyfile` flags.
- `--apiserver-cert-extra-sans`
Additional hostnames or IP addresses that should be added to the Subject
Alternate Name section for the certificate that the API Server will use. If you
expose the API Server through a load balancer and public DNS you could specify
this with
```
--apiserver-cert-extra-sans=kubernetes.example.com,kube.example.com,10.100.245.1
```
- `--cert-dir`
The path where to save and store the certificates. The default is
"/etc/kubernetes/pki".
- `--config`
A kubeadm specific [config file](#config-file). This can be used to specify an
extended set of options including passing arbitrary command line flags to the
control plane components.
- `--kubernetes-version` (default 'latest') the kubernetes version to initialise
The **v1.6** version of kubeadm only supports building clusters that are at
least **v1.6.0**. There are many reasons for this including kubeadm's use of
RBAC, the Bootstrap Token system, and enhancements to the Certificates API. With
this flag you can try any future version of Kubernetes. Check [releases
page](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/releases) for a full list of
available versions.
- `--pod-network-cidr`
For certain networking solutions the Kubernetes master can also play a role in
allocating network ranges (CIDRs) to each node. This includes many cloud providers
and flannel. You can specify a subnet range that will be broken down and handed out
to each node with the `--pod-network-cidr` flag. This should be a minimum of a /16 so
controller-manager is able to assign /24 subnets to each node in the cluster.
If you are using flannel with [this manifest](https://github.com/coreos/flannel/blob/master/Documentation/kube-flannel.yml)
you should use `--pod-network-cidr=10.244.0.0/16`. Most CNI based networking solutions
do not require this flag.

compatible random token can be generated `kubeadm token generate`. Tokens can
be managed through the API after the cluster is created. See the [section on
managing tokens](#manage-tokens) below.
- `--kubernetes-version` (default 'latest') the kubernetes version to initialise
- `--token-ttl`
`kubeadm` was originally built for Kubernetes version **v1.4.0**, older versions are not
supported. The current version of `kubeadm` requires at least **v1.6.0-alpha.3** due to RBAC being enabled by default.
With this flag you can try any future version, e.g. **v1.6.0-beta.1**
whenever it comes out (check [releases page](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/releases)
for a full list of available versions).
This sets an expiration time for the token. This is specified as a duration
from the current time. After this time the token will no longer be valid and
will be removed. A value of 0 specifies that the token never expires. 0 is the
default. See the [section on managing tokens](#manage-tokens) below.
### `kubeadm join`
When you use kubeadm join, you must supply the token used to secure cluster
boostrap as a mandatory flag, and the master IP address as a mandatory argument.
When joining a kubeadm initialized cluster, we need to establish bidirectional
trust. This is split into discovery (having the Node trust the Kubernetes
master) and TLS bootstrap (having the Kubernetes master trust the Node).
There are 2 main schemes for discovery. The first is to use a shared token along
with the IP address of the API server. The second is to provide a file (a subset
of the standard kubeconfig file). This file can be a local file or downloaded
via an HTTPS URL. The forms are `kubeadm join --discovery-token
abcdef.1234567890abcdef 1.2.3.4:6443`, `kubeadm join --discovery-file
path/to/file.conf` or `kubeadm join --discovery-file https://url/file.conf`.
Only one form can be used. If the discovery information is loaded from a URL,
HTTPS must be used and the host installed CA bundle is used to verify the
connection.
The TLS bootstrap mechanism is also driven via a shared token. This is used to
temporarily authenticate with the Kubernetes master to submit a certificate
signing request (CSR) for a locally created key pair. By default kubeadm will
set up the Kubernetes master to automatically approve these signing requests.
This token is passed in with the `--tls-bootstrap-token abcdef.1234567890abcdef`
flag.
Often times the same token is use for both parts. In this case, the `--token` flag
can be used instead of specifying the each token individually.
Here's an example on how to use it:
`kubeadm join --token=the_secret_token 192.168.1.1`
`kubeadm join --token=abcdef.1234567890abcdef 192.168.1.1:6443`

- `--config`
Extended options a specified in the [kubeadm specific config file](#config-file).
- `--skip-preflight-checks`

By default, kubeadm runs a series of preflight checks to validate the system
before making any changes. Advanced users can use this flag to bypass these if
necessary.
- `--discovery-file`
A local file path or HTTPS URL. The file specified must be a kubeconfig file
with nothing but an unnamed cluster entry. This is used to find both the
location of the API server to join along with a root CA bundle to use when
talking to that server.
This might look something like this:
``` yaml
apiVersion: v1
clusters:
- cluster:
certificate-authority-data: <really long certificate data>
server: https://10.138.0.2:6443
name: ""
contexts: []
current-context: ""
kind: Config
preferences: {}
users: []
```
- `--discovery-token`
The discovery token is used along with the address of the API server (as an
unnamed argument) to download and verify information about the cluster. The
most critical part of the cluster information is the root CA bundle used to
verify the identity of the server during subsequent TLS connections.
- `--tls-bootstrap-token`
The token used to authenticate to the API server for the purposes of TLS
bootstrapping.
- `--token=<token>`
By default, when `kubeadm init` runs, a token is generated and revealed in the output.
That's the token you should use here.
Often times the same token is used for both `--discovery-token` and
`--tls-bootstrap-token`. This option specifies the same token for both. Other
flags override this flag if present.

## Managing Tokens {#manage-tokens}
You can use the `kubeadm` tool to manage tokens on a running cluster. It will
automatically grab the default admin credentials on a master from a `kubeadm`
created cluster (`/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf`). You can specify an alternate
kubeconfig file for credentials with the `--kubeconfig` to the following
commands.
* `kubeadm token list` Lists the tokens along with when they expire and what the
approved usages are.
* `kubeadm token create` Creates a new token.
* `--description` Set the description on the new token.
* `--ttl duration` Set expiration time of the token as a delta from "now".
Default is 0 for no expiration.
* `--usages` Set the ways that the token can be used. The default is
`signing,authentication`. These are the usages as described above.
* `kubeadm token delete <token id>|<token id>.<token secret>` Delete a token.
The token can either be identified with just an ID or with the entire token
value. Only the ID is used; the token is still deleted if the secret does not
match.
In addition, you can use the `kubeadm token generate` command to locally creates
a new token. This token is of the correct form for specifying with the
`--token` argument to `kubeadm init`.
For the gory details on how the tokens are implemented (including managing them
outside of kubeadm) see the [Bootstrap Token
docs](/docs/admin/bootstrap-tokens/).
## Automating kubeadm
Rather than copying the token you obtained from `kubeadm init` to each node, as
in the basic `kubeadm` tutorials, you can parallelize the token distribution for
easier automation. To implement this automation, you must know the IP address
that the master will have after it is started.

The experience for the command line is currently in beta and we are trying hard
not to change command line flags and break that flow. Other parts of the
experience are still under active development. Specifically, kubeadm relies on
some features (bootstrap tokens, cluster signing), that are still considered
alpha. The implementation may change as the tool evolves to support easy
upgrades and high availability (HA). Any commands under `kubeadm alpha` (not
documented here) are, of course, alpha.
**Be sure to read the [limitations](#limitations)**. Specifically, configuring
cloud providers is difficult. Upgrades are also not well documented or

kubectl logs -n kube-system canal-node-f0lqp
```
You will got the following error:
```
Error from server (BadRequest): the server rejected our request for an unknown reason (get pods canal-node-f0lqp)
```
The `kubectl describe` comand gives you more details about what went wrong.
``` bash
kubectl describe -n kube-system po kube-dns-2924299975-1l2t7
```
The events should show something like this:
```
2m 2m 1 {kubelet nac} spec.containers{flannel} Warning Failed Failed to start container with docker id 927e7ccdc32b with error: Error response from daemon: {"message":"chown /etc/resolv.conf: operation not permitted"}
```
Or this:
```
6m 1m 191 {kubelet nac} Warning FailedSync Error syncing pod, skipping: failed to "SetupNetwork" for "kube-dns-2924299975-1l2t7_kube-system" with SetupNetworkError: "Failed to setup network for pod \"kube-dns-2924299975-1l2t7_kube-system(dee8ef21-fbcb-11e6-ba19-38d547e0006a)\" using network plugins \"cni\": open /run/flannel/subnet.env: no such file or directory; Skipping pod"
```
A web search on the error message may help narrow down the issue. Or
communicate the errors you are seeing to the community/company that provides the
pod network implementation you are using.
