Adding a New Addon

To add a new addon to minikube the following steps are required:

For the new addon's .yaml file(s):
- Put the required .yaml files for the addon in the minikube/deploy/addons directory.
- Add the kubernetes.io/minikube-addons: <NEW_ADDON_NAME> label to each piece of the addon (ReplicationController, Service, etc.)
- Also, addonmanager.kubernetes.io/mode annotation is needed so that your resources are picked up by the addon-manager minikube addon.
- In order to have minikube addons open <NEW_ADDON_NAME> work properly, the kubernetes.io/minikube-addons-endpoint: <NEW_ADDON_NAME> label must be added to the appropriate endpoint service (what the user would want to open/interact with). This service must be of type NodePort.

To add the addon into minikube commands/VM:

Add the addon with appropriate fields filled into the Addon dictionary, see this commit and example.

// cmd/minikube/cmd/config/config.go
var settings = []Setting{
  ...,
  // add other addon setting
  {
    name:        "efk",
    set:         SetBool,
    validations: []setFn{IsValidAddon},
    callbacks:   []setFn{EnableOrDisableAddon},
  },
}

Add the addon to settings list, see this commit and example.

// pkg/minikube/assets/addons.go
var Addons = map[string]*Addon{
  ...,
  // add other addon asset
  "efk": NewAddon([]*BinAsset{
    MustBinAsset(
      "deploy/addons/efk/efk-configmap.yaml",
      constants.AddonsPath,
      "efk-configmap.yaml",
      "0640"),
    MustBinAsset(
      "deploy/addons/efk/efk-rc.yaml",
      constants.AddonsPath,
      "efk-rc.yaml",
      "0640"),
    MustBinAsset(
      "deploy/addons/efk/efk-svc.yaml",
      constants.AddonsPath,
      "efk-svc.yaml",
      "0640"),
  }, false, "efk"),
}

Rebuild minikube using make out/minikube. This will put the addon's .yaml binary files into the minikube binary using go-bindata.
Test addon using minikube addons enable <NEW_ADDON_NAME> command to start service.
