Control Plane keeps shutting down after kubeadm init

I’m trying to host a small cluster using kubeadm for practice (1 CPLANE & 1 WORKER). To do this I’ve installed everything (kubeadm, kubelet, kubctl) as per kubernetees official docs. After that i ran

kubeadm init –pod-network-cidr=10.244.0.0/16
(nothing in ip route show was using it)

I check the cluster with kubctl and everything seems fine and running.

After this I enable br_netfilter kernel module (for flannel) and than I apply the latest flannel network map:

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/flannel-io/flannel/releases/latest/download/kube-flannel.yml

I check again with kubectl get po –all-namespaces and everything looks good… everything is “RUNNING“.

BUT A COUPLE OF MINUTES LATER… it just stops out of nowhere. No more kubectl control no anything. And then it comes back and stops again and keeps doing this…

I dont even know where to start debugging this… any help?**

Cluster information:**

Kubernetes version: v1.34.0
Cloud being used: Hetzner
Installation method: apt
Host OS: Debian Trixie
CNI and version: containernetworking v1.7.1
CRI and version: containerd v1.7.27

You can format your yaml by highlighting it and pressing Ctrl-Shift-C, it will make your output easier to read.

Hi,

So what pods are actually crashing? Control plane pods or the CNI pods?
