I have been troubleshooting this for a bit of time here but have not found further documentation (possibly due to how I am searching/troubleshooting). I can show the manifest, but I do not think that is the issue.

I have utilized the documentation from the Kubernetes deployment process.  
I appreciate your time..

Below is the error I receive when deplying.

# Commands run

`kubectl apply -f draft-nginx-manifest.yaml`

After running this, it deploys and the status is shown below.

`*@*:~$ kubectl get pods NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE nginx-deployment-cbdccf466-2l64z 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 12d nginx-deployment-cbdccf466-7r57h 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 12d nginx-deployment-cbdccf466-8r2th 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 12d nginx-deployment-cbdccf466-db7k6 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 12d nginx-deployment-cbdccf466-grbht 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 12d nginx-deployment-cbdccf466-tp5qr 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 12d `

` Warning FailedCreatePodSandBox 75s (x65421 over 9d) kubelet (combined from similar events): Failed to create pod sandbox: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = failed to setup network for sandbox "e1e24f4013948e78a958f2ff2cc4e3b0f20af64744158dfe965c57b31cb891fb": plugin type="flannel" failed (add): loadFlannelSubnetEnv failed: open /run/flannel/subnet.env: no such file or directory`

To preface, I am very new and still exploring the manifest creation/testing Kubernetes.
