Installation

See the installation guide. For the impatient, here is the TL;DR:

  • macOS 10.12 (Sierra)

    • Requires installing a hypervisor, such as hyperkit (recommended) or VirtualBox
    • using brew: brew cask install minikube
    • manually: curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-darwin-amd64 && sudo install minikube-darwin-amd64 /usr/local/bin/minikube
  • Windows 10

    • Requires a hypervisor, such as VirtualBox (recommended) or HyperV
    • VT-x/AMD-v virtualization must be enabled in BIOS
    • using chocolatey choco install minikube
    • manually: Download and run the installer
  • Linux

    • Requires either the kvm2 driver (recommended), or VirtualBox
    • VT-x/AMD-v virtualization must be enabled in BIOS
    • manually: curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 && sudo install minikube-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/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 by running:

minikube start

Access Kubernetes Dashboard within Minikube:

minikube dashboard

Once started, you can interact with your cluster using kubectl, just like any other Kubernetes cluster. For instance, starting a server:

kubectl run hello-minikube --image=k8s.gcr.io/echoserver:1.4 --port=8080

Exposing a service as a NodePort

kubectl expose deployment hello-minikube --type=NodePort

minikube makes it easy to open this exposed 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
