Install Kubeadm Cluster on a laptop - Install Kubernetes on local machine using kubeadm - Virtualbox

Hi Ricky, Thanks for step by step instructions. All was good up until following calico install. But after issuing the command "kubectl create -f custom-resources.yaml", I get No resources found in calico-system namespace. Wonder if you can advise if possible. Many thanks. Kind regards,

Install the latest calico operator from the provided link docs.tigera.io/calico/latest/getting-started/kubernetes/self-managed-onprem/onpremises. Get used to checking the logs for kubelet, it will always give you an idea of what could be missing. You can do journalctl -xfeu kubelet on all nodes to see what kubelet is telling you.

@@rwahowa Thanks, but using the latest errors out saying already exists. How do I remove the previous version and try the latest? Would highly appreciate any help. Thanks.

@@sheetalgandhi2462 You can simply upgrade it:
Upgrading an installation that uses the operator
Download the v3.28 operator manifest:
curl raw.githubusercontent.com/projectcalico/calico/v3.28.1/manifests/tigera-operator.yaml -O
Use the following command to initiate an upgrade.
kubectl apply --server-side --force-conflicts -f tigera-operator.yaml
This is from the docs:
docs.tigera.io/calico/latest/operations/upgrading/kubernetes-upgrade#upgrading-an-installation-that-uses-the-operator

Thanks, I will give it a try.

I've just gone through the steps again on a new Virtualbox on Ubuntu, and the cluster was healthy. SO follow though the steps and check where you might have changed or missed something.
