Before creating an issue, make sure you've checked the following:

  • You are running the latest released version of k0s
  • Make sure you've searched for existing issues, both open and closed
  • Make sure you've searched for PRs too, a fix might've been merged already
  • You're looking at docs for the released version, "main" branch docs are usually ahead of released versions.

What happened?

On a clean ALMA Linux 10 install I can not do a clean k0s reset after a fresh k0s installation.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install ALMA Linux 10.0
  2. install k0s (curl -sSLf https://get.k0s.sh | sudo sh)
  3. install single node k0s (k0s install controller --single)
  4. start k0s
  5. wait for k0s to start
  6. stop k0s
  7. do a k0s reset

Expected behavior

Clean k0s reset

Actual behavior

k0s throws the following Warning:

W1118 09:21:28.338957 2513 logging.go:55] [core] [Channel #1 SubChannel #2] grpc: addrConn.createTransport failed to connect to {Addr: "/run/k0s/containerd.sock", ServerName: "localhost", Attributes: {"<%!p(networktype.keyType=grpc.internal.transport.networktype)>": "unix" }, }. Err: connection error: desc = "transport: Error while dialing: dial unix /run/k0s/containerd.sock: connect: no such file or directory"
WARN[2025-11-18 09:21:29] To ensure a full reset, a node reboot is recommended.
