<p>Running <code>kubelet --pod-manifest-path=/newdir</code> returns errors.</p>

<p>It's not clear to me where I can add the <code>--pod-manifest-path</code> to a systemd file on <strong>Ubuntu</strong>. I know for <code>v1.12</code> there is the KubeletConfiguration type but I am using <code>v1.11</code>.</p>

<p>You can find in <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/static-pod/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">documentation</a>:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Configure your kubelet daemon on the node to use this directory by running it with  <code>--pod-manifest-path=/etc/kubelet.d/</code>  argument. On Fedora edit  <code>/etc/kubernetes/kubelet</code>  to include this line:</p>

<p><code>KUBELET_ARGS="--cluster-dns=10.254.0.10 --cluster-domain=kube.local --pod-manifest-path=/etc/kubelet.d/"</code></p>

<p>Instructions for other distributions or Kubernetes installations may vary.</p></li>
<li><p>Restart kubelet. On Fedora, this is:</p>

<p><code>[root@my-node1 ~] $ systemctl restart kubelet</code></p></li>
</ol>

<p>If you want to use <code>--pod-manifest-path</code> you can  define  it in Kubelet configuration.</p>

<p>Usually it is stored <code>/etc/kubernetes/kubelet</code> or <code>/etc/default/kubelet</code> or  <code>/etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service</code></p>
