k8s学习记录：cannot unmarshal number into Go struct field HostCfg.spec.hosts.password of type string

错误描述

在使用KubeSphere搭建多节点集群时，明明一切都是按照官方文档步骤来的，编写完config-sample.yaml配置后，使用命令./kk create cluster -f config-sample.yaml启动时遇到如下报错：

[root@master kubeSphereSpace]# ./kk create cluster -f config-sample.yaml
Error: Failed to download cluster config: Failed to unmarshal configuration: json: cannot unmarshal number into Go struct field HostCfg.spec.hosts.password of type string
Usage:
  kk create cluster [flags]

Flags:
      --container-manager string   Container runtime: docker, crio, containerd and isula. (default "docker")
      --download-cmd string        The user defined command to download the necessary binary files. The first param '%s' is output path, the second param '%s', is the URL (default "curl -L -o %s %s")
  -f, --filename string            Path to a configuration file
  -h, --help                       help for cluster
      --skip-pull-images           Skip pre pull images
      --with-kubernetes string     Specify a supported version of kubernetes (default "v1.21.5")
      --with-kubesphere            Deploy a specific version of kubesphere (default v3.2.0)
      --with-local-storage         Deploy a local PV provisioner
  -y, --yes                        Skip pre-check of the installation

Global Flags:
      --debug        Print detailed information (default true)
      --in-cluster   Running inside the cluster

解决办法

从报错信息Failed to download cluster config: Failed to unmarshal configuration: json: cannot unmarshal number into Go struct field HostCfg.spec.hosts.password of type string，能得到如下结论：由于把数字类型的密码赋值给字符串类型，从而导致报错（虽然没学过go，但意思应该是这样的）。使用vim打开config-sample.yaml，如下图所示：

很明显，密码部分是红色的，接下来把每个主机的密码都改为带字母的，发现颜色改变了，如下图所示：

之后再使用./kk create cluster -f config-sample.yaml命令安装，一切又恢复正常。
