We have insatlled magnum following the installation guide here https://docs.openstack.org/magnum/victoria/install/install-rdo.html and the process was quite smooth but we have been having some issues with the deployment of the clusters.

The image being used as per the documentation is https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/atomic/stable/Fedora-Atomic-27-20180419.0/CloudImages/x86_64/images/Fedora-Atomic-27-20180419.0.x86_64

Our first issue was that podman was being used even if we specified the use_podman=false (since the image above did not include podman) but this was resulting in a timeout and the cluster would fail to deploy. We have then installed podman in the image and the cluster progressed a bit further

+ echo 'WARNING Attempt 60: Trying to install kubectl. Sleeping 5s'
+ sleep 5s
+ ssh -F /srv/magnum/.ssh/config root@localhost '/usr/bin/podman run     --entrypoint /bin/bash     --name install-kubectl     --net host     --privileged     --rm     --user root     --volume /srv/magnum/bin:/host/srv/magnum/bin     k8s.gcr.io/hyperkube:v1.15.7     -c '\''cp /usr/local/bin/kubectl /host/srv/magnum/bin/kubectl'\'''
bash: /usr/bin/podman: No such file or directory
ERROR Unable to install kubectl. Abort.
+ i=61
+ '[' 61 -gt 60 ']'
+ echo 'ERROR Unable to install kubectl. Abort.'
+ exit 1

The cluster is now failing here at "kube_cluster_deploy" and when checking the logs on the master node we noticed the following in the log files:

Starting to run kube-apiserver-to-kubelet-role
Waiting for Kubernetes API...
+ echo 'Waiting for Kubernetes API...'
++ curl --silent http://127.0.0.1:8080/healthz
+ '[' ok = '' ']'
+ sleep 5

This is because the kubernetes API server is not installed either. I have noticed some scripts that should handle the installation but I would like to know if anyone here has had similar issues with a clean Victoria installation.

Also should we have to install any packages in the fedora atomic image file or should the installation requirements be part of the stack?

Thanks in advance for any asistance
