im troubleshooting one of the basic scenario …
[root@kmaster ~]# kubectl get pod
Unable to connect to the server: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

tested following :
export KUBECONFIG=/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf

Somdutt Sharma:
Although, im executing from root user… have created following …

mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config

Somdutt Sharma:
cert details looks OK
[root@kmaster kubernetes]# kubeadm certs check-expiration
[check-expiration] Reading configuration from the cluster…
[check-expiration] FYI: You can look at this config file with ‘kubectl -n kube-system get cm kubeadm-config -o yaml’
[check-expiration] Error reading configuration from the Cluster. Falling back to default configuration

Mohamed Ayman:
Try to run the following as a regular user:

mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config

Mohamed Ayman:
If It still not working, delete the cluster and run kubeadm init with the steps again.

Jaspreet Singh:
Try sudo swapoff -a
