<p>I am a newbie to Kubernetes and trying to set up a cluster that runs Cassandra in my local machine. I have used kind to create a cluster that was successful. After that when I try to run <em><code>kubectl cluster-info</code></em>, I am getting the below error:</p>
<p><em><code>Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:45451: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.</code></em></p>
<p>On <em><code>docker container ls</code></em>, I could see the control-plane running on the container using the port as below:</p>
<pre class="lang-sh prettyprint-override"><code>CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                  COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                       NAMES

625fee22e0e6        kindest/node:v1.18.2   &quot;/usr/local/bin/entr&quot;   3 hours ago         Up 2 hours                                      kind-cassandra-worker
</code></pre>
<p>Am able to view the config file by executing <em><code>kubectl config view</code></em> as below, which confirms the kubectl is able to read the correct config file:</p>
<pre class="lang-yaml prettyprint-override"><code>apiVersion: v1
clusters:
- cluster:
    certificate-authority-data: DATA+OMITTED
    server: https://127.0.0.1:45451

contexts:
- context:
    cluster: kind-kind-cassandra
    user: kind-kind-cassandra

kind: Config

- name: kind-kind-cassandra
  user:

    client-key-data: REDACTED
</code></pre>
<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p>
<p>When I run <em><code>netstat</code></em>, I could see below as the active connections on 127.0.0.1</p>
