<p>currently I am setting up Kubernetes on a 1 Master 2 Node enviorement.</p>

<p>I succesfully initialized the Master and added the nodes to the Cluster</p>

<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/w4lXG.png" rel="noreferrer">kubectl get nodes</a></p>

<p>When I joined the Nodes to the cluster, the kube-proxy pod started succesfully, but the kube-flannel pod gets an error and runs into a CrashLoopBackOff.</p>

<p>On the Node, I can verify that the PodCDIR is available:</p>

<pre><code>kubectl get nodes -o jsonpath='{.items[*].spec.podCIDR}'
172.17.12.0/24
</code></pre>

<p>On the Masters kube-controller-manager, the pod cidr is also there</p>

<p>XXXXX for anonymization</p>

<p>I initialized the master with the following kubeadm comman (which also went through without any errors)</p>

<pre><code>kubeadm init --pod-network-cidr=172.17.12.0/24 --service-

<p>Does anyone know what could cause my issues and how to fix them?</p>

<p>Failed to acquire lease simply means, the pod didn't get the podCIDR. Happened with me as well although the manifest on master-node says podCIDR true but still it wasn't working and funnel going in crashbackloop.
This is what i did to fix it.</p>

<p>From the master-node, first find out your funnel CIDR </p>

<pre><code>sudo cat /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-controller-manager.yaml | grep -i cluster-cidr
</code></pre>

<p>Output:</p>

<pre><code>- --cluster-cidr=172.168.10.0/24
</code></pre>

<p>Then run the following from the master node:</p>

<pre><code>kubectl patch node slave-node-1 -p '{"spec":{"podCIDR":"172.168.10.0/24"}}'
</code></pre>

<p>where, 
slave-node-1 is your node where acquire lease is failing
podCIDR is the cidr that you found in previous command</p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>
