title: Kubernetes calico node CrashLoopBackOff
body: <p>While there are some questions just like mine out there, the fixes do not work for me.
  I'm using the kubernetes v1.9.3 binaries and using flannel and calico to setup a kubernetes cluster. After applying calico yaml files it gets stuck on creating the second pod.
  What am I doing wrong? The logs aren't really clear in saying what's wrong</p>
  
  <p><code>kubectl get pods --all-namespaces</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>root@kube-master01:/home/john/cookem/kubeadm-ha# kubectl logs calico-node-
  n87l7 --namespace=kube-system
  Error from server (BadRequest): a container name must be specified for pod 
  calico-node-n87l7, choose one of: [calico-node install-cni]
  root@kube-master01:/home/john/cookem/kubeadm-ha# kubectl logs calico-node-
  n87l7 --namespace=kube-system install-cni
  Installing any TLS assets from /calico-secrets
  cp: can't stat '/calico-secrets/*': No such file or directory
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>kubectl describe pod calico-node-n87l7</code> returns</p>
