minikube is local Kubernetes, focusing on making it easy to learn and develop for Kubernetes.
|
||
|
||
All you need is Docker (or similarly compatible) container or a Virtual Machine environment, and Kubernetes is a single command away: `minikube start`
|
||
|
||
## What you’ll need
|
||
|
||
* 2 CPUs or more
|
||
* 2GB of free memory
|
||
* 20GB of free disk space
|
||
* Internet connection
|
||
* Container or virtual machine manager, such as: [Docker]({{<ref "/docs/drivers/docker">}}), [Hyperkit]({{<ref "/docs/drivers/hyperkit">}}), [Hyper-V]({{<ref "/docs/drivers/hyperv">}}), [KVM]({{<ref "/docs/drivers/kvm2">}}), [Parallels]({{<ref "/docs/drivers/parallels">}}), [Podman]({{<ref "/docs/drivers/podman">}}), [VirtualBox]({{<ref "/docs/drivers/virtualbox">}}), or [VMware Fusion/Workstation]({{<ref "/docs/drivers/vmware">}})

If the [Homebrew Package Manager](https://brew.sh/) is installed:

|

```shell

brew install minikube

```
|

|

If `which minikube` fails after installation via brew, you may have to remove the old minikube links and link the newly installed binary:

|

```shell

brew unlink minikube
|

brew link minikube

1. Download and run the installer for the [latest release](https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-installer.exe).
|
||
<br>
|
||
Or if using `PowerShell`, use this command:
|

Invoke-WebRequest -OutFile 'c:\minikube\minikube.exe' -Uri 'https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases/latest/download/minikube-windows-amd64.exe' -UseBasicParsing
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
2. Add the `minikube.exe` binary to your `PATH`.
|
||
<br>
|
||
_Make sure to run PowerShell as Administrator._
|
||
```powershell
|
||
$oldPath = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)
|
||
if ($oldPath.Split(';') -inotcontains 'C:\minikube'){ `
|

|
||
}

_If you used a CLI to perform the installation, you will need to close that CLI and open a new one before proceeding._

|
||
|
||
From a terminal with administrator access (but not logged in as root), run:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
minikube start
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If minikube fails to start, see the [drivers page]({{<ref "/docs/drivers">}}) for help setting up a compatible container or virtual-machine manager.
|
||
|
||
<h2 class="step"><span class="fa-stack fa-1x"><i class="fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x"></i><strong class="fa-stack-1x text-primary">3</strong></span>Interact with your cluster</h2>
|
||
|
||
If you already have kubectl installed, you can now use it to access your shiny new cluster:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
kubectl get po -A
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, minikube can download the appropriate version of kubectl and you should be able to use it like this:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
minikube kubectl -- get po -A
|
||
```
|
||
You can also make your life easier by adding the following to your shell config:
|
||
```shell
|
||
alias kubectl="minikube kubectl --"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Initially, some services such as the storage-provisioner, may not yet be in a Running state. This is a normal condition during cluster bring-up, and will resolve itself momentarily. For additional insight into your cluster state, minikube bundles the Kubernetes Dashboard, allowing you to get easily acclimated to your new environment:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
minikube dashboard
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<h2 class="step"><span class="fa-stack fa-1x"><i class="fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x"></i><strong class="fa-stack-1x text-primary">4</strong></span>Deploy applications</h2>
|
||
|
||
Create a sample deployment and expose it on port 8080:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
kubectl create deployment hello-minikube --image=k8s.gcr.io/echoserver:1.4
|
||
kubectl expose deployment hello-minikube --type=NodePort --port=8080
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
It may take a moment, but your deployment will soon show up when you run:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
kubectl get services hello-minikube
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The easiest way to access this service is to let minikube launch a web browser for you:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
minikube service hello-minikube
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, use kubectl to forward the port:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
kubectl port-forward service/hello-minikube 7080:8080
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Tada! Your application is now available at [http://localhost:7080/](http://localhost:7080/).
|
||
|
||
You should be able to see the request metadata from nginx such as the `CLIENT VALUES`, `SERVER VALUES`, `HEADERS RECEIVED` and the `BODY` in the application output. Try changing the path of the request and observe the changes in the `CLIENT VALUES`. Similarly, you can do a POST request to the same and observe the body show up in `BODY` section of the output.
|
||
|
||
### LoadBalancer deployments
|
||
|
||
To access a LoadBalancer deployment, use the "minikube tunnel" command. Here is an example deployment:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
kubectl create deployment balanced --image=k8s.gcr.io/echoserver:1.4
|
||
kubectl expose deployment balanced --type=LoadBalancer --port=8080
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
In another window, start the tunnel to create a routable IP for the 'balanced' deployment:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
minikube tunnel
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To find the routable IP, run this command and examine the `EXTERNAL-IP` column:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
kubectl get services balanced
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Your deployment is now available at <EXTERNAL-IP>:8080
|
||
|
||
<h2 class="step"><span class="fa-stack fa-1x"><i class="fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x"></i><strong class="fa-stack-1x text-primary">5</strong></span>Manage your cluster</h2>
|
||
|
||
Pause Kubernetes without impacting deployed applications:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
minikube pause
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Unpause a paused instance:
|
||
```shell
|
||
minikube unpause
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Halt the cluster:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
minikube stop
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Increase the default memory limit (requires a restart):
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
minikube config set memory 16384
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Browse the catalog of easily installed Kubernetes services:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
minikube addons list
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Create a second cluster running an older Kubernetes release:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
minikube start -p aged --kubernetes-version=v1.16.1
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Delete all of the minikube clusters:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
minikube delete --all
|
||
```
