<p>I'm running <strong>kubernetes</strong> on bare-metal <strong>Debian</strong> (3 masters, 2 workers, PoC for now). I followed k8s-the-hard-way, and I'm running into the following problem on my kubelet: </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Failed to get system container stats for
  "/system.slice/docker.service": failed to get cgroup stats for
  "/system.slice/docker.service": failed to get cgroup stats for
  "/system.slice/docker.service": failed to get container info for
  "/system.slice/docker.service": unknown container
  "/system.slice/docker.service"</p>
</blockquote>

<p>And I have the same message for kubelet.service.</p>

<p>I have some <strong>files</strong> about those cgroups:</p>

<pre><code>$ ls /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/system.slice/docker.service
cgroup.clone_children  cgroup.procs  notify_on_release  tasks

$ ls /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/system.slice/kubelet.service/
cgroup.clone_children  cgroup.procs  notify_on_release  tasks
</code></pre>

<p>And <strong>cadvisor</strong> tells me:</p>

<pre><code>$ curl http://127.0.0.1:4194/validate
cAdvisor version: 

OS version: Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)

Kernel version: [Supported and recommended]
    Kernel version is 3.16.0-4-amd64. Versions &gt;= 2.6 are supported. 3.0+ are recommended.


Cgroup setup: [Supported and recommended]
    Available cgroups: map[cpu:1 memory:1 freezer:1 net_prio:1 cpuset:1 cpuacct:1 devices:1 net_cls:1 blkio:1 perf_event:1]
    Following cgroups are required: [cpu cpuacct]
    Following other cgroups are recommended: [memory blkio cpuset devices freezer]
    Hierarchical memory accounting enabled. Reported memory usage includes memory used by child containers.


Cgroup mount setup: [Supported and recommended]
    Cgroups are mounted at /sys/fs/cgroup.
    Cgroup mount directories: blkio cpu cpu,cpuacct cpuacct cpuset devices freezer memory net_cls net_cls,net_prio net_prio perf_event systemd 
    Any cgroup mount point that is detectible and accessible is supported. /sys/fs/cgroup is recommended as a standard location.
    Cgroup mounts:
    cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,xattr,release_agent=/lib/systemd/systemd-cgroups-agent,name=systemd 0 0

<p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>

<p>Disabling the <strong>cadvisor</strong> port on kubelet (<code>--cadvisor-port=0</code>) doesn't fix that.</p>

<p>Try to start kubelet with</p>

<pre><code>--runtime-cgroups=/systemd/system.slice --kubelet-cgroups=/systemd/system.slice
</code></pre>

<p>I'm using this solution on RHEL7 with Kubelet 1.8.0 and Docker 1.12</p>
