title: I cannot run kubectl get nodes as root. Why?
body: <p>On my master node</p>
  
  <pre><code>root@k8smaster:~# kubectl get nodes
  The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?
  root@k8smaster:~# exit
  logout
  
  yoda@k8smaster:~/bin$ kubectl get nodes
  NAME        STATUS    ROLES     AGE       VERSION

  <p>Why do I need to run kubectl as my own user ? </p>
