k8s example fails on kubectl requirement step (Temporary failure resolving 'apt.kubernetes.io')

[danielhelfand]

Description

limactl version:

$ limactl -v
limactl version 0.8.2

I ran limactl start https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lima-vm/lima/master/examples/k8s.yaml, chose to Proceed with the default configuration, and by the end of the process Kubernetes was running successfully.

After stopping and deleting the lima instance using limactl, I then tried to restart the Kubernetes cluster using the same command above. Logs from limactl were as follows:

$ limactl start https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lima-vm/lima/master/examples/k8s.yaml

Unfortunately we haven't found a good solution for caching yet, so you would have to fix your internet (and dns)

   Temporary failure resolving 'apt.kubernetes.io'

Weird that two domains worked, and two domains failed ?

You can check what systemd is up to, with resolvectl status

[afbjorklund]

Is this still a problem, or did get the DNS issues get fixed in later versions of lima (and friends) ?

Not sure what else do to otherwise, except from maybe caching packages and images on the host.

• Caching packages and images on the lima host #397

It needs to be able to resolve apt.kubernetes.io and k8s.gcr.io

For the first issuing of limactl start k8s, while cloud-init script is running apt-get update command.
I got the error message that "...connect (101: Network is unreachable) Could not connect to:"

• security.ubuntu.com:80
• archive.ubuntu.com:80 and
• pkgs.k8s.io:443

Lima v0.20.1
QEMU v8.2.1
MacOS 10.15.7 (Catalina)

WORKAROUND : Once limactl returned prompt, just simply stop and start the instance.
