--- title: "node" description: > Node operations --- ## minikube node Node operations ### Synopsis Operations on nodes ``` minikube node [flags] ``` ### Options ``` -h, --help help for node ``` ### Options inherited from parent commands ``` --alsologtostderr log to standard error as well as files -b, --bootstrapper string The name of the cluster bootstrapper that will set up the kubernetes cluster. (default "kubeadm") --log_backtrace_at traceLocation when logging hits line file:N, emit a stack trace (default :0) --log_dir string If non-empty, write log files in this directory --logtostderr log to standard error instead of files -p, --profile string The name of the minikube VM being used. This can be set to allow having multiple instances of minikube independently. (default "minikube") --stderrthreshold severity logs at or above this threshold go to stderr (default 2) -v, --v Level log level for V logs --vmodule moduleSpec comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging ``` ## minikube node add Adds a node to the given cluster. ### Synopsis Adds a node to the given cluster config, and starts it. ``` minikube node add [flags] ``` ### Options ``` --control-plane If true, the node added will also be a control plane in addition to a worker. --delete-on-failure If set, delete the current cluster if start fails and try again. Defaults to false. -h, --help help for add --worker If true, the added node will be marked for work. Defaults to true. (default true) ``` ### Options inherited from parent commands ``` --alsologtostderr log to standard error as well as files -b, --bootstrapper string The name of the cluster bootstrapper that will set up the kubernetes cluster.
