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.

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.
