The updated awx operator path worked! I ran into another problem further down.

scud@erebor:~$ helm install ingress nginx-stable/nginx-ingress --namespace kube-system Error: Kubernetes cluster unreachable: Get "localhost/version dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8080: connect: connection refused

Here is what my pod networking looks like after getting to this part of the install: kubectl get pod -o wide NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE NOMINATED NODE READINESS GATES awx-operator-5595d6fc57-jfqvh 1/1 Running 0 10m 10.1.5.4 erebor <none> <none> awx-postgres-0 1/1 Running 0 7m18s 10.1.5.5 erebor <none> <none> awx-5b58db49c-j6gxc 4/4 Running 0 7m9s 10.1.5.6 erebor <none> <none>

I was wondering if I was supposed to change any of the IP addressing in the MetalLB section. I am not sure how the 192.x addressing is relevant, and if it is related to this issue.

netstat -an |grep 8080 tcp 0 0 10.0.1.1:51778 10.1.5.2:8080 TIME_WAIT

Pete Scudamore It seems that the Helm client is unable to connect to the Kubernetes cluster API. What happens if you simply run the helm list command? It should return

~$ helm list
NAME NAMESPACE REVISION UPDATED STATUS CHART APP VERSION

The Pods seem to be correct, here is what our test environment looks like. (Sorry but I can't actually upload the image on Hashnode, it failed each time...)

As for the IP range in MetalLB, you need to use the same subnet as your server or workstation.

I got everything going. I had to install helm. I also had to add a command to get helm to see the kubernetes cluster properly.

kubectl config view --raw >~/.kube/config # fix to helm cant find cluster issue

Thanks for the great article!
