Hi there,

I am trying to install microk8s on MAC M1 and it doesn't work. I have 10 Core CPU, 32 GB RAM. And, it's failed with this error as mentioned above

➜  ~ microk8s --help

An error occurred when trying to execute 'sudo ls -1 /snap/bin/' with 'multipass': returned exit code 2.

We appreciate your feedback. Thank you for using microk8s.

Hi @imoisharma, does the multipass vm run? You should be able to start it with microk8s start. The VM is not available you should be able to create one by calling microk8s install.

Hi @ktsakalozos, see the below result

➜  ~ microk8s install
MicroK8s is up and running. See the available commands with `microk8s --help`.
➜  ~ microk8s start
sudo: microk8s.start: command not found
An error occurred when trying to execute 'sudo microk8s.start' with 'multipass': returned exit code 1.

[ktsakalozos]

Do you see the multipass VM? What do you see with multipass list? Can you multipass shell inside the microk8s-vm? Is microk8s installed inside the VM? What does snap info microk8s show?

One quick question before we launch … Would you like to help
the Multipass developers, by sending anonymous usage data?
This includes your operating system, which images you use,
the number of instances, their properties and how long you use them.
We’d also like to measure Multipass’s speed.

Send usage data (yes/no/Later)? yes
Thank you!

I do not see the MicroK8s installed in the VM. Could you snap install microk8s --classic --channel=1.23/stable inside the microk8s-vm?

Hi @ktsakalozos, any updates or ideas/recommendations for me?

[ktsakalozos]

If you uninstall and reinstall does it work?

The code that is failing is in _get_microk8s_commands [1] that ends up being a call from the host inside the VM. That call should look something like multipass exec microk8s-vm -- ls -1 /snap/bin. This should work for you in your machine assuming multipass is successfully installed. Is it possible that multipass is not in your path?

Hi @ktsakalozos,

I notice one more thing which I am not sure about as I am very new to microk8s as I have used mostly minikube for past development. When I go inside the VM, then I can see the microk8s status and all pods up and running.

But, I can't the microk8s kubectl get pods command from the mac terminal itself? Is there a way to run everything directly from the mac terminal directly rather than running inside the VM itself?

Also, the above command results
lxc
lxd
lxd.benchmark
lxd.buginfo
lxd.check-kernel
lxd.lxc
lxd.lxc-to-lxd
lxd.migrate

I have the same issue with installing the microk8s on windows 10 machine. Are there any updates on this?

[ssmeo]

@imoisharma i think you installed micro8s inside a different machine:

ubuntu@primary:~$ snap info microk8s name: microk8s

This is "primary" not "microk8s-vm"

Happened because you used "multipass shell" instead of "multipass shell microk8s-vm"

[ssmeo]

In my case that was a DNS connection issue described in multipass documentation.

I guess this issue can be closed

Still happens on MacOS with the following error

> microk8s install
Launched: microk8s-vm
An error occurred when trying to execute 'sudo ping -c 1 snapcraft.io' with 'multipass': returned exit code 1.

Resolved with similar command above

> multipass shell microk8s-vm
ubuntu@microk8s-vm:~$ sudo snap install microk8s --classic --channel=1.28/stable

MacOS is still failing. Did everything as from previous comment, but got error:

> microk8s status
microk8s is not running. Use microk8s inspect for a deeper inspection.
An error occurred when trying to execute 'sudo microk8s.status' with 'multipass': returned exit code 1.
