Why is argo workflow not working in managed K8s?

Posted on April 22, 2021

kubectl create ns argo
kubectl apply -n argo -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/stable/manifests/quick-start-postgres.yaml

My pods that are started with Argo Workflow are stuck in NotReady state and Argo Workflow shows them as running.

When using k9s to see the logs I see the following:


wait time="2021-04-22T15:41:03.253Z" level=info msg="docker ps --all --no-trunc --format={{.Status}}|{{.Label \"io.kubernetes.container.name\"}}|{{.ID}}|{{.CreatedAt}} --filter=label=io.kubernetes.pod.namespace=argo --filter=label=io.kubernetes.pod.name=wonderful-python"

I gave argo and argo server admin role so it’s probably not related to the permissions.
