MacOS: Microk8s failing to enable kubeflow

Hi there,

Right after a fresh install of MicroK8s, enable kubeflow fails

This command can't be run as root.
Try `microk8s enable kubeflow` instead.
Failed to enable kubeflow
An error occurred when trying to execute 'sudo microk8s.enable kubeflow' with 'multipass': returned exit code 1.

IIRC, when I enable kubeflow on Ubuntu I can do it with sudo otherwise I get a similar failure. It requires to be executed under a standard user. Maybe something similar here ?

Hi @didier-durand,

You are right, this is a bug. The kubeflow addon expects the user to be in the microk8s group or it will fail with This command can't be run as root.. The microk8s OS native client executes all microk8s commands as root with sudo.

Here is a workaround, get a shell in the microk8s VM:

multipass shell microk8s-vm

Enable kubeflow by adding the user to the microk8s group:

sudo usermod -a -G microk8s $USER"
sudo chown -f -R $USER ~/.kube"

Restart the VM. Get a new shell and enable kubeflow:

multipass shell microk8s-vm
microk8s enable kubelfow
