Use kubectl inside minikube
|
|
aliases:
|
|
- /docs/kubectl/
|
|

|
|
|
|
By default, [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/) gets configured to access the kubernetes cluster control plane
|
|
inside minikube when the `minikube start` command is executed.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
kubectl <kubectl commands>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
However if `kubectl` is not installed locally, minikube already includes kubectl which can be used like this:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
minikube kubectl -- <kubectl commands>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{{% tabs %}}
|
|
|
|
{{% linuxtab %}}
|
|
You can also alias kubectl for easier usage.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
alias kubectl="minikube kubectl --"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can create a symbolic link to minikube's binary named 'kubectl'.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
ln -s $(which minikube) /usr/local/bin/kubectl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{{% /linuxtab %}}
|
|
|
|
{{% mactab %}}
|
|
You can also alias kubectl for easier usage.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
alias kubectl="minikube kubectl --"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can create a symbolic link to minikube's binary named 'kubectl'.
|

ln -s $(which minikube) /usr/local/bin/kubectl

|
```
|
|
|
|
{{% /mactab %}}
|

{{% windowstab %}}

```
|

Exposing the deployment with a NodePort service
|
|
|
|
```shell
|

minikube kubectl -- expose deployment hello-minikube --type=NodePort --port=8080
|

```
