Kubelet node not found

I'm trying to set up a kubernetes cluster. My kubeadm init times out with The kubelet is unhealthy due to a misconfiguration of the node in some way. Looking at Kubelet I find that is continuously reporting Container runtime network not ready, Error getting node, and Nameserver limits exceeded.

Looking around for similar problems and I find that existing solutions for similar problems dont work or don't make sense:

1. one candidate is that I'm missing a pod network addon but that is solved by using kubectl apply -f to install the pod network which I cant do because kubectl cant run without a existing cluster (which I cannot create, hence the problem).
2. the other candidate is that I havent correctly installed docker for kublet to find it but that doesn't make sense because cri-docker is running and seems to be fine (see below)
3. Too many entries in my /etc/resolve.conf - I checked and I only have one entry.
