minikube
What is minikube?
minikube implements a local Kubernetes cluster on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
Our goal is to enable fast local development and to support all Kubernetes features that fit. We hope you enjoy it!

start --container-runtime
minikube also supports features for developer convenience:
- Addons - a marketplace for developers to share configurations for running services on minikube
- GPU support - for machine learning
- Filesystem mounts
- Automatic failure analysis
Community & Documentation
-

Requirements
- 4GB of memory (VM reserves 2GB by default), 32GB of disk space
- An internet connection - preferably one that does not require a VPN or SSL proxy to access the internet
- macOS 10.12 (Sierra) or higher
- Requires a hypervisor, such as:
- hyperkit (recommended)
- VirtualBox
- Requires a hypervisor, such as:
- Linux
- libvirt for the KVM driver, or VirtualBox
- VT-x/AMD-v virtualization must be enabled in BIOS
- Windows 10
- HyperV (Windows 10 Pro) or a 3rd party hypervisor, such as VirtualBox.
- VT-x/AMD-v virtualization must be enabled in BIOS
Installation
-
macOS with brew:
brew cask install minikube -
macOS:
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-darwin-amd64 && sudo install minikube-darwin-amd64 /usr/local/bin/minikube -
Windows with Chocolatey
choco install minikube -
Windows without Choco - Download and run the installer
-
Linux
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 && sudo install minikube-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/minikube
For full installation instructions, please see https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-minikube/
Supported Hypervisors
minikube start defaults to virtualbox, but supports other drivers using the --vm-driver argument:
- KVM2 - Recommended Linux driver
- hyperkit - Recommended macOS driver
- virtualbox - Recommended Windows driver
- none - bare-metal execution on Linux, at the expense of system security and reliability
Other drivers which are not yet part of our continuous integration system are:
Quick Start
Start a cluster:
minikube start
Interact with it using kubectl, just like any other kubernetes cluster:
$ kubectl run hello-minikube --image=k8s.gcr.io/echoserver:1.4 --port=8080
deployment "hello-minikube" created
$ kubectl expose deployment hello-minikube --type=NodePort
service "hello-minikube" exposed
Open the endpoint in your browser:
minikube service hello-minikube
Start a second local cluster:
minikube start -p cluster2
Stop your local cluster:
minikube stop
Delete your local cluster:
minikube delete
