Steps To Reproduce:

• Installed k3s with the following /etc/rancher/k3s/config.yaml

node-name: <node-name>
node-ip: <internal IPv4, ULA IPv6>
node-external-ip: <external IPv4, external IPv6>
cluster-cidr: 10.42.0.0/16,2001:cafe:42:0::/56
service-cidr: 10.43.0.0/16,2001:cafe:42:1::/112
kubelet-arg:
  - "kube-reserved=cpu=100m,memory=256Mi,ephemeral-storage=1Gi"
  - "system-reserved=cpu=100m,memory=256Mi,ephemeral-storage=5Gi"
resolv-conf: /etc/resolv-kubelet.conf

• Applied the following manifest:

apiVersion: helm.cattle.io/v1
kind: HelmChartConfig
metadata:
  name: traefik
  namespace: kube-system
spec:
  valuesContent: |-
    deployment:
      kind: DaemonSet
    image:
      name: traefik
      tag: 2.8.3
    ingressRoute:
      dashboard:
        enabled: false
    service:
      spec:
        externalTrafficPolicy: Local

Can you show the output of kubectl get services -A -o wide and kubectl get endpoints -A please?

@barsa-net I could reproduce this problem and I'm slowly getting convinced that you found a bug in upstream kubernetes. I don't understand why but this line https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/pkg/proxy/iptables/proxier.go#L1501 is called twice for a dual-stack service (traefik) when updating externalTrafficPolicy to Local, even though I can only see one event:

25032-Sep 23 17:15:18 mbuil-vm0 k3s[1722039]: time="2022-09-23T17:15:18Z" level=info msg="Event(v1.ObjectReference{Kind:\"Service\", Namespace:\"kube-system\", Name:\"traefik\", UID:\"44f91337-2f91-46ab-8379-c3e15dbb5b38\", APIVersion:\"v1\", ResourceVersion:\"614\", FieldPath:\"\"}): type: 'Normal' reason: 'AppliedDaemonSet' Applied LoadBalancer DaemonSet kube-system/svclb-traefik-44f91337"

I guess it might be doing it twice because of two IPs (IPv4 and IPv6), which is not correct. Then it tries to bind to the same port on the second iteration and fails.

Unfortunately, this is not something that can be fixed in k3s but in kubernetes upstream

Closing as upstream issue - the messages seem concerning if you're poking through the logs but are fine.

Hi,

was there ever a issue raised in upstream Kubernetes? I have this problem too, using Kubernetes and not k3s, and trying to figure out the current state of this problem.

Thanks :)

@LittleFox94 not on my end, I don't use "vanilla" Kubernetes and as it's stated above it's mostly an annoying log entry than a failure, at least in k3s .

The issue is already reported upstream https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/114702 but with low priority as no issue with functionality https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/114702#issuecomment-1382364212
