Hey all,

I also just ran into this issue on my vanilla k3s install. From the docs:

If you try to create a Service LB that listens on port 80, the Service LB will try to find a free host in the cluster for port 80. If no host with that port is available, the LB will stay in Pending.

I switched the port for the load balancer in the yaml to 8080 and it works for me now. FYI.

Able to replicate on stock k3s install:

$ sudo kubectl get pods
NAME                                READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
svclb-hello-kubernetes-npwb2        0/1     Pending   0          48s

hello-kubernetes-594f6f475f-kclvr   1/1     Running   0          48s

$ sudo kubectl get service
NAME               TYPE           CLUSTER-IP     EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)        AGE

The recently added Helm Chart and Ingress options should provide options that work across more platforms.
