jx install cannot find tiller when installing on Minkube or Docker for Mac about jx HOT 9 CLOSED

I don't think k8s on docker4mac is supported yet (it is missing a few things that minikube has, unless you know otherwise)

from jx.

Also - the installation instructions are not good now in the readme. There is a lot of assumption about minikube (and hyperkit) which is not called out, and causing some grief.

@michaelneale nope this is still a problem with minikube provided Kubernetes

from jx.

@i386 ack - have updated accordingly

from jx.

Did you retry jx install after a few seconds/minutes? I've seen this before, the issue is that helm init was called just a few seconds before helm install jenkins-x/jenkins-x-platform and Tiller is not completely started at that point.

Use helm version to check Tiller is ready in the cluster and then retry jx install - not saying this is a fix, but a workaround.

How did you create the minikube cluster? The docs need some work now that we use jx but you should be able to just run

jx create cluster minikube

from a clean state where there's no existing minikube created.

Alternatively if you have minikube running already you can:

jx init
jx install

jx init will initiate the cluster with helm, draft and an ingress controller. FWIW it will also wait for pods to be running so there should be no timing issues.

I'll try and get to updating the docs later today.

BTW we also now have a jx create cluster gke you can test out if you have a google account and google cloud project available. The same command on AKS is being worked on.

from jx.

I think I did jx install directly on an existent minikube cluster I created by myself. So that might be the cause of the timing issues I observed.

@rawlingsj I did it from a total clean slate - latest minikube, using jx create cluster minikube and it failed.

ran jx init again and jx install, only for it to fail with:

error: No Git Server found
after putting in my github credentials

from jx.

met the same issue with provider kubernetes
