The connection to the server localhost 8080 was refused

Question

$ kubectl get svc

The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?

Hey @Lakshiminarayanan, did you execute the following commands after kubeadm init?

sudo cp /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/
sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/admin.conf
export KUBECONFIG=$HOME/admin.conf

/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf file missing

Have you already created a Kubernetes cluster? You seem to have gone wrong somewhere while creating the cluster if your admin.conf file is missing.

What steps have you followed?

You don't really need minikube to create a kubernetes cluster and deploy an application.
