Troubleshooting

Web UI not working

Sometimes flannel, the overlay network between the pods, does not work properly when first booted. This can cause the Web UI to not work.

You can fix this by following steps. You can choose to either:

1. Delete all flannel pods. Kubernetes will create new ones.

    kubectl -n kube-system delete pod -l app=flannel
   

or

1. Restart flannel on the affected node. Find the node running dashboard, you might want to grep for Node: if the output is too verbose.

    kubectl -n kube-system describe pod -l k8s-app=kubernetes-dashboard
   

2. Use kubectl describe on each of the flannel pods until you find the one that is running on the same node.

3. Delete that pod. Kubernetes will create a new one in its place.
