Looks like it might be a formatting issue, as when I replied with you with – – form, its changed it to a single – from.

Creating memberlist should be done after creating the namespace otherwise the pods will not start up and the option –from-literal= has only one dash in your example but it only works with two.

But now I know how to troubleshoot a not starting container. Maybe this was your intension 😉
