Issue while setting up mesheryctl

Meshery
1

I have forked the meshery repo and trying to set up locally and run ./mesheryctl system start but I get this error:

Error: stat /home/abhishek/.kube/config: no such file or directory. Your local context is configured to run Meshery on Kubernetes using the Default token. The Kubernetes cluster is not accessible. Please confirm that the token is valid. See ` `https://docs.meshery.io/installation/quick-start` ` for additional instructions

It says that my local context is configured to run meshery on kubernetes but I never did something like that, and have followed as mentioned in here. So my question is do we need to setup kubernetes to run mesheryctl and test it locally, because I didn’t find anything related to it in docs?

Hey, @Abhishek357 I think it would be better if we first start our Meshery with mesheryctl system start then all the necessary files and folders will be created for you and you will not face this missing files issue. Then mesheryctl system stop and then follow the docs which you have linked.

Hi @Abhishek357 , yes you will require Kubernetes started, to run ./mesheryctl system start . And as @sayantan1413 said it would be better if we start our Meshery with mesheryctl system start first and then follow the docs.

@asubedy @sayantan1413 Thanks for your input, in my case, when I used sudo ./mesheryctl system start I was able to overcome the above error. But further, I am getting the below error.

Folks @abhishek @sayantan1413 , did this resolve?

I am followed mentioned steps as well but no luck!

Which of the issues mentioned in this thread are you experiencing? If it’s the first one, then make sure you have a Kubernetes‘s cluster configured in your kubeconfig and it’s kube API server accessible to Meshery Server.

8

Do I need to installed Kubernetes for this to configure cluster in kubeconfig?

Meshery deploys as a container. You can deploy the Meshery container to a Docker host:

mesheryctl system start --platform docker

or to a Kubernetes cluster:

mesheryctl system start

If you’re using mesheryctl and choosing to deploy into a Kubernetes cluster, you’ll need to have a kubeconfig available with functioning context.

Alternatively, if you’re using helm and choosing to deploy into a Kubernetes cluster, Meshery does not need a functioning kubeconfig.

kubectl create ns meshery
helm repo add meshery https://meshery.io/charts/
helm install meshery meshery/meshery -n meshery

If you’re continuing to have difficulty installing, please point to the step in one of these installation guides where you’re getting stuck.
