I am not very familier with kubernetes so excuse me if this not the right query.For many people I have seen the number of clusters they are connected to are shown in the kubeIcon Image in the header but for me it’s not showing anything.I am trying to work on a ui related issue on meshery but for that i need to connect to clusters to check if the issue is valid or not.
Hi @Divyansh_Khatri, Meshery will discover your Kubernetes cluster automatically; however, this works well only if your Kubernetes installation is running and if you have correctly set the context. So, you essentially need to set up a correct context so that Meshery can interact with your cluster without any issues. For that, you could look at what your current Kubernetes context is by running kubectl config current-context .
This command will output the active context that Meshery will use. Now that your cluster is active, and context is set up, Meshery will be ready to connect and manage your Kubernetes resources.
Hi @Yash_Sharma , thanks for your help. I ran the command, and it minikube seems to be up and running on my system. However, when I tried adding the cluster manually, I still see nothing in the Kubernetes icon. I’m also unsure how the system is supposed to detect the running cluster, as it doesn’t seem to be working for me. The icon in the header still shows a count of zero, and I wanted to check if the cluster is supposed to appear in the list, since it isn’t showing up on my end.
@Santosh_Kumar_Doodala@Yash_Sharma Thanks for the detailed explaination. I see what the problem is. These are the logs after excuting the commands you gave

I applied the commands you said but it looks like it ultimatly deploys meshery using kubernetes .Before this i was deploying meshery using docker.My main problem still remains the same that kubernetes icon is still showing 0 connected clusters.
These are the logs after performing the following commands mesheryctl system start and mesheryctl system dashboard --port-forward -p 9081
C:\Users\Divyansh>mesheryctl system start

I am trying to acheive something like this for the issue that i want to work on
Hi @Divyansh_Khatri .
I am also new to the meshery. But i believe you are using Windows machine.
Although the command will install the files, would it create the .meshery configuration files is something i don’t know of.
moreover those commands are for mac/linux
My recommendation :-
Download it directly and configuring environment variable files like how use to set up mingw on windows.
No need a ticket right now, for now try the above method.

I have a question.i deleted and rebuilt everyting using docker
and now the previous problem has been solved regarding the k8icon but i don’t know for some reason my development env seems to be encountering problems that doesn’t seem to happen for other people. This particular issue seems to be resolved as in the comment below one user reported that he is not encountering it anymore but for some reason it’s still happening for me.
(Comment)
also this particular issue opened by lee which for which a pr has been merged is still occuring for me in my local env.(Github Issue)
This is what i did:
1.First i ran curl -L https://meshery.io/install | PLATFORM=docker bash - which seems to install mesheryctl and deploy meshery on docker(doc reference) and then i just accessed my localhost:9081.i used wsl for this.
2.subsiquently everytime i want to start the meshery i run mesheryctl system start on ubuntu and the dev env runs on localhost:9081.
if you have any questions you need to ask me for helping me solve this please feel free to do so i want to resolve this as quickly as possilbe because it’s hindering my ability to contribute.
