Set proxy config for PMK Clusters

Problem

kubectl logs results in Error forbidden when PMK cluster is created using Proxy.

Environment

• Issue resolved in Platform9 Managed Kubernetes 5.9

Resolution

Note : This solution will only work for Platform9 Managed Kubernetes 5.9 and above

Way to avoid landing into the proxy issues:

• Onboard node to DU

• Run pf9ctl set-proxy command on the node

pf9ctl set-proxy --protocol http --host-ip 10.149.107.44 --port 3128 --no-proxy 10.149.106.249,10.149.106.198

In above command --no-proxy takes ip addresses of worker nodes.

• Now create cluster, you will not see forbidden error for kubectl logs command.

Way to resolve this on existing cluster which is already behind proxy:

• SSH to master node

• Run pf9ctl set-proxy command like above and pass IPs or subnet of worker nodes to --no-proxy flag

• Stop pf9-hostagent and pf9-nodeletd services

systemctl stop pf9-hostagent.service pf9-nodeletd.service

• Restart Prepare configuration phase

/opt/pf9/nodelet/nodeletd phases restart --single -p 2

It will restart prepare configuration phase and it will append worker ips to no_proxy var in master.yaml

Note : It will restart kube-apiserver , kube-scheduler and kube-controller-manager

• Start pf9-hostagent and pf9-nodeletd services

systemctl start pf9-hostagent.service pf9-nodeletd.service

• Verify kubectl logs command. you will not see forbidden error for kubectl logs command.
