SSH Connection Failure
When you use KubeKey to set up a cluster, you create a configuration file which contains necessary host information. Here is an example of the field hosts
:
spec:
hosts:
- {name: control plane, address: 192.168.0.2, internalAddress: 192.168.0.2, user: ubuntu, password: Testing123}
- {name: node1, address: 192.168.0.3, internalAddress: 192.168.0.3, user: ubuntu, password: Testing123}
- {name: node2, address: 192.168.0.4, internalAddress: 192.168.0.4, user: ubuntu, password: Testing123}
Before you start to use the ./kk
command to create your cluster, it is recommended that you test the connection between the taskbox and other instances using SSH.
Possible Error Message
Failed to connect to xx.xxx.xx.xxx: could not establish connection to xx.xxx.xx.xxx:xx: ssh: handshake failed: ssh: unable to authenticate , attempted methods [none], no supported methods remain node=xx.xxx.xx.xxx
If you see an error message as above, verify that:
You are using the correct port number. Port
22
is the default port of SSH and you need to add the port number after the IP address if your port is different. For example:hosts: - {name: control plane, address: 192.168.0.2, internalAddress: 192.168.0.2, port: 8022, user: ubuntu, password: Testing123}
SSH connections are not restricted in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
. For example,PasswordAuthentication
should be set totrue
.You are using the correct username, password or key. Note that the user must have sudo privileges.
Your firewall configurations allow SSH connections.
