Whenever I import my kubeconfig file, it’s uploaded successfully however, I get a warning
No reachable contexts found in the uploaded kube config “config” and actually no file is uploaded.

@Christopher.Kalule thanks for offering some of your system’s details. The most probable cause here is one of lack of connectivity between the network that Meshery is deployed within and the network that Kubernetes is deployed within, consequently, Meshery can’t communicate with Kubernetes.

In order to best assist you, will you offer additional details about your environment? What how have you deployed Kubernetes? What’s the location of Kube API? Can it be reached from the same network that Meshery Server is deployed on? How have you deployed Meshery? What’s the output of mesheryctl system check?

When I run kubectl cluster-info dump to get the cluster information, including the API server endpoint
I get The connection to the server 127.0.0.1:57356 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?

When I run ping 127.0.0.1:57356 :
I get ping: cannot resolve 127.0.0.1:57356: Unknown host

I deployed Meshery using Docker

And the output for mesheryctl system check ?

Nice follow up. This is all the info needed. :+1:. Network connectivity is your issue. There are any number of ways to solve this. I’ll list two options (there are others):

  1. run kubectl config use-context docker-desktop and use your Docker Desktop Kubernetes cluster with Meshery.
  2. run the network commands on Minikube | Meshery and use your Minikube cluster with Meshery.

Or do both of these and have Meshery manage both clusters simultaneously.
