<p>Kubelet has been initialized with pod network for Calico :</p>

<pre><code>sudo kubeadm init --pod-network-cidr=192.168.0.0/16 --image-repository=someserver
</code></pre>

<p>Then i get calico.yaml v3.11 and applied it :</p>

<pre><code>sudo kubectl --kubeconfig="/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf" apply -f calico.yaml
</code></pre>

<p>Right after i check on the pod status : </p>

<pre><code>sudo kubectl --kubeconfig="/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf" get nodes
NAME              STATUS     ROLES    AGE     VERSION
master-1   NotReady   master   7m21s   v1.17.2
</code></pre>

<p>on describe i've got cni config unitialized, but i thought that calico should have done that ?</p>

<p>In fact i have nothing under /etc/cni/net.d/ so it seems it forgot something ?</p>

<p>As explained i'm running through a local repo and journalctl says :</p>

<pre><code> kubelet[21935]: E0225 14:30:54.830683   21935 pod_workers.go:191] Error syncing pod cec2f72b-844a-4d6b-8606-3aff06d4a36d ("calico-node-f4xzh_kube-system(cec2f72b-844a-4d6b-8606-3aff06d4a36d)"), skipping: failed to "StartContainer" for "upgrade-ipam" with ErrImagePull: "rpc error: code = Unknown desc = Error response from daemon: Get https://repo:10000/v2/calico/cni/manifests/v3.11.2: no basic auth credentials"

<p>Feels like it's not only CNI the issue</p>

Albz
<p>So the issue with Init:ImagePullBackOff was that it cannot apply image from my private repo automatically. I had to pull all images for calico from docker. Then i deleted the calico pod it's recreate itself with the newly pushed image </p>

<pre><code>sudo docker pull private-repo/calico/pod2daemon-flexvol:v3.11.2
sudo docker pull private-repo/calico/node:v3.11.2
sudo docker pull private-repo/calico/cni:v3.11.2
sudo docker pull private-repo/calico/kube-controllers:v3.11.2

sudo kubectl -n kube-system delete po/calico-node-y7g5
</code></pre>

<p>After that the node re-do all the init phase and :</p>

<pre><code>sudo kubectl get pods -n kube-system
