metallb permissions issue

[bsdlp]

having some trouble where ingress-nginx's external ip gets stuck in pending. did some digging and it seems like metallb isn't set up correctly by kubespray. may be related to permissions/dns - hoping i could get some assistance in digging further.

edit looking into it some more, this exists with many other pods too - coredns. seems like a systemic issue with rbac?

> kubectl describe pods -n metallb-system controller-545fcbb979-lf78d
...
  Warning  FailedMount  116s   kubelet            MountVolume.SetUp failed for volume "kube-api-access-8ftrn" : failed to fetch token: serviceaccounts "controller" is forbidden: User "system:node:pounce-worker-1" cannot create resource "serviceaccounts/token" in API group "" in the namespace "metallb-system": no relationship found between node 'pounce-worker-1' and this object

i deleted the logs for the metallb speakers already but im spinning up a new cluster to get new logs, the speakers said something about "no ips available" which is suspect

from coredns pod events:

  Warning  FailedMount  54m (x2 over 54m)  kubelet            MountVolume.SetUp failed for volume "kube-api-access-58lc6" : failed to fetch token: Post "https://192.168.200.212:6443/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/serviceaccounts/coredns/token": EOF

if i manually curl that url i get:
