Background: 13 node bare-metal Raspberry Pi 4 based cluster, 1 master, 12 workers. Running K3s v1.24.8+k3s1 for compatibility with Rancher management UI. I’m doing this to learn Kubernetes.
I’m trying to add 2 more master nodes. After working through various goofs of my own (failed to match K3s version and launching with the same flags as the original master), I believe I got all of that straightened out. The respective .service files indicate as such, anyway.
However, when I attempt to add these 2 nodes as master, I get the following error in the logs:
2477 authentication.go:63] "Unable to authenticate the request" err="[invalid bearer token, [invalid bearer token, square/go-jose: error in cryptographic primitive]]"
And, they never show up in the output of kubectl get nodes
I’ve Googled that error and find many bug reports, posts, etc. but no definitive answer or solution. I’ve wiped out these new nodes and started fresh, but still get the same error.
