Config option variables

minikube supports passing environment variables instead of flags for every value listed in minikube config. This is done by passing an environment variable with the prefix MINIKUBE_.

For example the minikube start --iso-url="$ISO_URL" flag can also be set by setting the MINIKUBE_ISO_URL="$ISO_URL" environment variable.

Other variables

Some features can only be accessed by environment variables, here is a list of these features:

  • MINIKUBE_HOME - (string) sets the path for the .minikube directory that minikube uses for state/configuration

  • MINIKUBE_IN_STYLE - (bool) manually sets whether or not emoji and colors should appear in minikube. Set to false or 0 to disable this feature, true or 1 to force it to be turned on.

  • MINIKUBE_WANTUPDATENOTIFICATION - (bool) sets whether the user wants an update notification for new minikube versions

  • MINIKUBE_REMINDERWAITPERIODINHOURS - (int) sets the number of hours to check for an update notification

  • CHANGE_MINIKUBE_NONE_USER - (bool) automatically change ownership of ~/.minikube to the value of $SUDO_USER

  • MINIKUBE_ENABLE_PROFILING - (int, 1 enables it) enables trace profiling to be generated for minikube

Example: Disabling emoji

export MINIKUBE_IN_STYLE=false
minikube start

Making values persistent

To make the exported variables persistent across reboots:

  • Linux and macOS: Add these declarations to ~/.bashrc or wherever your shells environment variables are stored.
  • Windows: Add these declarations via system settings or using setx
