When I try to install istio1.9.0 on ubuntu, type this command: istioctl install --set profile=demo -y, get the below error:
Error: Get “HTTP://localhost:8080/api?timeout=32s”: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8080: connect: connection refused
This means you are not connected to a kuberntees cluster. Look at Install and Set Up kubectl | Kubernetes
besides k8s, you may also look for minikube if you are playing with demo on local machine
OMG. I also encountered this problem, does isito have to be kidnapped by k8s? Hasn’t anyone else encountered this problem? Omg they are so unfortunate too
