Messing around with OpenShift Origin 3.6.0 and their Docker Quickstart guide I stumbled upon some configuration incompatibilities with Kubernetes:

F0819 08:47:34.208186    9065 node.go:282] failed to run Kubelet: failed to create kubelet: misconfiguration: kubelet cgroup driver: "systemd" is different from docker cgroup driver: "cgroupfs"

The issue is caused due to using cgrougfs as Cgroup Driver for Docker. You can verify your Docker config by running docker info | grep Cgroup. You can change your Cgroup Driver to systemd using the native.cgroupdriver parameter for the Docker Daemon. Add the following arg to your /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/docker-thinpool.conf (ExecStart) file and /etc/default/docker (DOCKER_OPTS):

--exec-opt native.cgroupdriver=systemd

Relaunch the dockerd afterwards and verify your changes:

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart docker.service
docker info | grep Cgroup

I want to docker to start with systemd cgroup driver. for some reason it using only cgroupfs on my centos 7 server. here is startup config file. # systemctl cat docker # /usr/lib/systemd/system/d…
