<p>In 192.168.88.24 (node), <code>kube-apiserver</code> is already running.</p>

<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/VaDNP.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/VaDNP.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>I already open the port</p>

<pre><code>firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=6443/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload
</code></pre>

Zaw Than oo
<p>The issue is the internal_address IPs are all the same. This setting used to set what IP address the nodes should communicate on for node-to-node connections.
We mostly see this option when your servers are behind a NAT.</p>
<p>Please try the following cluster.yml</p>
<pre><code>nodes:
  - address: 192.168.88.246
    internal_address: 192.168.88.246
