Failed to create kind cluster

Bug Report

When creating a management cluster, the following error pops up:

✘ [0205 22:00:55.35728]: init.go:166] unable to set up management cluster, : unable to create bootstrap cluster: failed to create kind cluster tkg-kind-c7ve93tmk1u6m2g1pk5g: failed to init node with kubeadm: command "docker exec --privileged tkg-kind-c7ve93tmk1u6m2g1pk5g-control-plane kubeadm init --skip-phases=preflight --config=/kind/kubeadm.conf --skip-token-print --v=6" failed with error: exit status 1

I tried it on an Intel and Silicon (M1) Mac and, in both machines, I tried deploying it as Docker and on AWS. The error is always the same.

The kind create cluster command works.

Hey @vfarcic! Thanks for opening your first issue. We appreciate your contribution and welcome you to our community! We are glad to have you here and to have your input on Tanzu Community Edition.

Hi @vfarcic - thanks for reporting this.

ARM is not currently supported, so unfortunately you will not be able to deploy from that machine.

Can you verify you are not using cgroupv2 on the Linux machine? If you run docker info | grep Cgroup that should show the version.

[stmcginnis]

Sorry, I mean on the Intel machine, not Linux. Intel MacOS is supported. We just need to make sure you are running a version of Docker Desktop prior to 4.3 when they switched over to cgroupv2.

[vfarcic]

I upgraded docker desktop yesterday so it is definitely never than 4.3. Is there an issue associated with the work on the support for cgroupv2 so that I can follow?

[stmcginnis]

OK, downgrading to anything prior to 4.3.0 should get things working for you. 4.2.x still used cgroupv1.

Support in TCE is dependent on changes in tanzu-framework. Those changes appear to have been made, but we need a newer release of TCE that uses a release that includes it. The tracking issue in the community-edition repo can be found here: #2798
