I’m encountering an issue while running an Ansible playbook to set up a Kubernetes cluster. The playbook includes tasks to install Kubernetes components (kubelet , kubeadm , kubectl ) on multiple nodes. However, I’m facing the following error:
This error suggests that another process is currently holding the lock on /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend, preventing the installation process from proceeding. I suspect this might be due to another apt-get process running concurrently.
Here’s a summary of the playbook:
- name: add Kubernetes apt-key
get_url:
url: https://pkgs.k8s.io/core:/stable:/v1.29/deb/Release.key
dest: /etc/apt/keyrings/kubernetes-apt-keyring.asc
mode: '0644'
force: true
- name: add Kubernetes' APT repository
ansible.builtin.apt_repository:
repo: "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/kubernetes-apt-keyring.asc] https://pkgs.k8s.io/core:/stable:/v1.29/deb/ /"
state: present
update_cache: yes
- name: Install kubeadm, kubectl, kubelet
ansible.builtin.apt:
pkg:
- kubelet
- kubeadm
- kubectl
state: present```
Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this problem in Ansible would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
