Please provide information like: 1. How did you install Kubernetes? 2. Exact command that was invoked to start Che server. — Dawid Kruk, Nov 27 '19 at 14:24
Che server was started with chectl server:start command. Kubernetes was installed following instruction at [link] https://vitux.com/install-and-deploy-kubernetes-on-ubuntu/ [link] — Anitha, Nov 29 '19 at 04:30
We are trying to install che using the below link. https://www.eclipse.org/che/docs/che-7/running-che-locally/#setting-up-a-local-kubernetes-or-openshift-cluster — Anitha, Nov 29 '19 at 04:53

Try to increase timeout by setting --k8spodreadytimeout=500000

Following https://github.com/eclipse/che/issues/13871 (which is for minishift)

kubectl delete namespaces che 

chectl server:start --platform minikube

give it a try

Can't use minikube because it can't be installed on a vm. My setup is on a ubuntu vm. – Anitha Nov 30 '19 at 16:05

I hope by now you would have installed Eclipse Che on Kubernetes successfully.

Thanks @Rajsekar for your offer. I am still struggling. I have enabled Minikube and all seems to be fine with it. However when i run, `chectl server:start --platform minikube` it fails with `× Start minikube → Timed out Verify if minikube ingress addon is enabled Enable minikube ingress addon Retrieving minikube IP and domain for ingress URLs Error: Command timed out after 180000 milliseconds: minikube start --memory=4096 --cpus=4 --disk-size=50g Timed out` – Anitha Feb 10 '20 at 08:56
Hi @rajasekar, I am getting the below error while deploying CHE -- [23:50:15] ✅ Post installation checklis [failed] [23:50:15] → Timeout: there are no pods in the namespace: eclipse-che, selector: app=che,component=postgres. Check Eclipse Che logs for details. Consider increasing error recheck timeout with --k8spoderrorrechecktimeut flag. – Debiprasad Mishra Aug 18 '21 at 17:00
I deleted the parts which, at most, should have been a comment. – Yunnosch Sep 13 '22 at 11:31
