K3s install timing out waiting for Node Token generation

[mozanich]

The install runs smoothly until reaching Task [k3s-config: Wait until node token is generated] on my server node. Everything stops there, and returns the message:

fatal: [192.168.1.175]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "elapsed": 300, "msg": "Timeout when waiting for file /var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/node-token"}

"sudo k3s kubectl get node -0 wide" on the server node returns:
The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?

systemctl status shows that the k3s-server is loaded and active on the server node.

The inventory file is set up correctly.

I had this problem as well. It turns out I did not have my hosts file set properly. I had a typo in the name of my groups [k3-server] instead of [k3s-server]. You claim your inventory file is set up correctly, so its probably not the same error.
