How to get to work Dashboard and Helm in DO K8s cluster?

Hello. I’ve created new k8s cluster with DigitalOcean. And there are few things I cannot figure out how to solve:

  1. kubectl shows that Dashboard pod is deployed, its service is ready to serve. With kubeclt proxy I managed to try to load dashboard via browser:
Error: 'dial tcp 10.244.5.3:8443: i/o timeout'
Trying to reach: 'https://10.244.5.3:8443/'
  1. With helm init I tried to install helm to cluster. And after that I can see that tiller-deploy pod is running. But with helm version I’ve got errror:
Client: &version.Version{SemVer:"v2.11.0", GitCommit:"2e55dbe1fdb5fdb96b75ff144a339489417b146b", GitTreeState:"clean"}
Error: forwarding ports: error upgrading connection: error dialing backend: dial tcp 10.131.80.172:10250: connect: no route to host

Same error with helm install stable/nginx-ingress

Looks like in both cases I cannot connect to cluster private network IPs. Any ideas how to solve it? Thanks in advance.

Hey there,

It looks like you (and the others reporting the issue in the comments) may have ran into an issue with the Kubernetes master node not being properly assigned to your private network.

We’re working to resolve this now.

Had the same kind of issue twice tonight, deploying traefik in Kubernetes NYC

Just discovered: deleting k8s cluster will not delete your load balancers that were made when type=LoadBalancer services were deployed. I don’t know if it’s a bug or feature :) Digitalocean-cloud-controller-manager usually deletes load balancer right after you delete deployed service.
