did you specify the right host or port? error on Kubernetes

Question

I have followed the helloword tutorial on http://kubernetes.io/docs/hellonode/.

When I run:

kubectl run hello-node --image=gcr.io/PROJECT_ID/hello-node         


        

Answer 1

This errors means that kubectl is attempting to connect to a Kubernetes apiserver running on your local machine, which is the default if you haven't configured it to talk to a remote apiserver.
