+# Offline support in minikube
+
+As of v1.0, `minikube start` is offline compatible out of the box. Here are some implementation details to help systems integrators:
+
+## Requirements
+
+* On the initial run for a given Kubernetes release, `minikube start` must have access to the internet, or a configured `--image-repository` to pull from.
+
+## Sharing the minikube cache
+
+For offline use on other hosts, one can copy the contents of `~/.minikube/cache`. As of the v1.0 release, this directory
+contains 685MB of data:
+
+```
+cache/iso/minikube-v1.0.0.iso
+cache/images/gcr.io/k8s-minikube/storage-provisioner_v1.8.1
