By this I mean, I have a powerdns server running in my cluster, I would like Kubernetes to add/update dns entries in my dns server to reflect all services or any domains that would be used within the cluster, this is to fix a current issue I am having, and for general control and centralization purposes.

I'd be surprised if it's still kubedns.. the service name is still kubedns, but there will probably be CoreDNS pods behind it. To debug this, you should first ensure that you can resolve DNS by directly pointing to an external DNS server from a pod, and then from the node if that fails. eg. dig @1.1.1.1 google.com, or host google.com 1.1.1.1. It might be a routing/firewall/nat issue more than DNS, and this would help track that down.

https://pastebin.com/RhU5xtma I cant access any external address including dns servers, so, there is no firewall running on my pi (the master node), I can set the nameserver to be 1.1.1.1 in the pods config and iirc that works, but inside the pod, it doesn't work, so how do i fix this? You probably need more information so i can share. I am running calico as my CNI

Do you have any NetworkPolicies configured that could block ingress (to kubedns, in kube-system) or egress (in your namespace) ? If any ingress or egress networkpolicy matches a pod, it flips from AllowByDefault to DenyByDefault.

You should also do kubectl get service and kubectl get endpoints in kube-system, as well as kubectl get pods | grep -i dns

Sorry - I totally misread this. You cannot access internet addresses. So it's a routing or NAT issue, most likely.

I assume you are using k3d for this, btw?

So.. on the "server" (eg. docker exec -ti k3d-k3s-default-server-0 -- /bin/sh), you should be able to "ping 8.8.8.8" successfully.

If not, the issue may lie with your host's docker setup.

Your k3s/calico networking is likely screwed. Try creating a new cluster with flannel instead.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well I switched to cilium, same issue, and the reason I started using a CNI earlier than I intended was because flannel didn't work.

This issue might seem complex but could you tell me some debugging stuff and logs to try to maybe get to the source of the issue or atleast provide a way to reproduce my issue (so I could maybe file a bug report)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

It might be a simple issue like ip forwarding not being enabled, or host-level iptables configuration, or perhaps weird and wonderful routing (eg. wireguard or other VPNs).
