<p>I am trying to run Kubernetes and trying to use <code>sudo kubeadm init</code>.
Swap is off as recommended by official doc.</p>

<p>The issue is it displays the warning:</p>

<pre><code>[kubelet-check] It seems like the kubelet isn't running or healthy.
[kubelet-check] The HTTP call equal to 'curl -sSL http://localhost:10248/healthz' failed with error: Get http://localhost:10248/healthz: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:10248: connect: connection refused.

Unfortunately, an error has occurred:
            timed out waiting for the condition

This error is likely caused by:
            - The kubelet is not running
            - The kubelet is unhealthy due to a misconfiguration of the node in some way (required cgroups disabled)
            - No internet connection is available so the kubelet cannot pull or find the following control plane images:
                - k8s.gcr.io/kube-apiserver-amd64:v1.11.2
                - k8s.gcr.io/kube-controller-manager-amd64:v1.11.2
                - k8s.gcr.io/kube-scheduler-amd64:v1.11.2
                - k8s.gcr.io/etcd-amd64:3.2.18
                - You can check or miligate this in beforehand with "kubeadm config images pull" to make sure the images
                  are downloaded locally and cached.

        If you are on a systemd-powered system, you can try to troubleshoot the error with the following commands:
            - 'systemctl status kubelet'
            - 'journalctl -xeu kubelet'

        Additionally, a control plane component may have crashed or exited when started by the container runtime.
        To troubleshoot, list all containers using your preferred container runtimes CLI, e.g. docker.
        Here is one example how you may list all Kubernetes containers running in docker:
            - 'docker ps -a | grep kube | grep -v pause'
            Once you have found the failing container, you can inspect its logs with:
            - 'docker logs CONTAINERID'

<p>Any help/suggestion/comment would be appreciated.</p>

<p>I faced similar issue recently. The problem was cgroup driver. Kubernetes cgroup driver was set to systems but docker was set to systemd. So I created <code>/etc/docker/daemon.json</code> and added below:</p>
<pre><code>{
    &quot;exec-opts&quot;: [&quot;native.cgroupdriver=systemd&quot;]
}
</code></pre>
<p>Then</p>
<pre><code> sudo systemctl daemon-reload
 sudo systemctl restart docker
 sudo systemctl restart kubelet
</code></pre>
<p>Run kubeadm init or kubeadm join again.</p>
