Kubernetes PersistentVolumeClaim 401 Unable to authenticate you

Posted on March 8, 2019

I’m using the DigitalOcean Kubernetes and trying to deploy tiddlywiki with a volume (https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/kubernetes/how-to/add-volumes/). I’ve got the following PVC definition:

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: tiddlywiki-pvc
spec:
  accessModes:
  - ReadWriteOnce
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 1Gi
  storageClassName: do-block-storage

but the volume is not created. kubectl describe pvc tiddlywiki-pvc outputs:

The 401 Unable to authenticate you could indicate that the API token isn’t present/expired, but I was able to create a PVC a few weeks ago on the same k8s cluster. Did anyone have a similar problem? Am I missing something or could it be a bug?

OK, the problem was that removed API access for the cluster in API -> Access -> DigitalOcean applications. Obviously it’s created after you deploy a k8s and shouldn’t be touched.

Same problem but the API access is okay. I’m out of ideas so posting here in case anyone else has seen this problem but resolved it in a different way.

Have the same problem, trying to solve it without success around 2 days…
