[BUG] The entrypoint script in an agent node continuously fails at the line until kubectl uncordon "$HOSTNAME"; do sleep 3; done as KUBECONFIG not set

What did you do

• How was the cluster created?
  • k3d cluster create --config "k3d.yaml"

My k3d.yaml config:

apiVersion: k3d.io/v1alpha5
kind: Simple
servers: 1
agents: 1
image: ${K_SERVER_IMAGE}
token: ${K_SERVER_TOKEN}
network: ${K_NET_NAME}

    nodeFilters:

• What did you do afterwards?
  • Nothing

What did you expect to happen

To see the agent logs be fine, instead it's plagued with:

E0328 11:09:48.838205     424 memcache.go:265] couldn't get current server API group list: Get "http://localhost:8080/api?timeout=32s": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8080: connect: connection refused

The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?

Which version of k3d

k3d version v5.6.0
k3s version v1.21.7-k3s1 (default)

I'm deploying k3s version 1.29.x

---

The problem is in the entrypoint script for a k3s agent node, at the line:

until kubectl uncordon "$HOSTNAME"; do sleep 3; done

That continuously fails, because $KUBECONFIG is not set, so it defaults to http:/localhost:8080. Not sure if I'm understanding the situation correctly but that seems to be it

I would say the same as #1399
