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:
