Need help installing a local kyma instance

Question

i need some help for installing kyma locally.

I was following the official guide: https://kyma-project.io/docs/kyma/latest/04-operation-guides/operations/02-install-kyma/

I have:

• Windows 10
• Hyper-V activated
• Docker Desktop installed (v4.9.1)
• Kubernetes (1.24.0) - shown by kubectl version --client
• K3d (v5.4.3)
• kyma-cli 2.0.4
• kubernetes-helm 3.8.2

I installed it like this:

1. Starting up Docker Desktop
2. kyma provision k3d
3. kyma deploy

While deploying now, i get some errors, which tell me, that some essential components can not be deployed: Errors

Can you help me solve this so that i can start up a functional kyma instance?

Greetings and thanks in advance!

Answer 1

As of version 1.20, Kubernetes deprecated Docker as a container runtime in favor of containerd. Due to a different way in which containerd handles certificate authorities, Kyma's built-in Docker registry does not work correctly on clusters running with a self-signed TLS certificate on top of Kubernetes installation where containerd is used as a container runtime. If that is your case, either upgrade the cluster to use Docker instead of containerd, generate a valid TLS certificate for your Kyma instance or configure an external Docker registry. another way is to disable kubernetes provided by docker-desktop and use the command below to provision kubernetes cluster based on k3d

kyma provision k3d

Answer 2

The issue was the kubernetes version. After downgrading my docker desktop to 4.1, which is using kubernetes 1.21 it works now.
