'error: no configuration has been provided, try setting KUBERNETES_MASTER environment variable

I have KUBECONFIG inside my .kube/ folder still facing this issue.

I have also tried

kubectl config set-context ~/.kube/kubeconfig.yml

kubectl config use-context ~/.kube/kubeconfig.yml

No luck! Still the same.

Solution 1:[1]

By default, kubectl looks for a file named config in the $HOME/. kube directory. So you have to rename your config file or set its location properly.

I had the same problem because I used the Linux subsystem on Windows. If you use the command kubectl in the subsystem, you must copy your config file to part of the Linux system.

For example, if your username on Windows is jammy, and your username is also jammy in the Linux subsystem, you must copy the config file from: /mnt/c/Users/jammy/.kube/config to: /home/jammy/.kube/
