In some previous guides, readers had to face setups where installing Kubernetes was a part, like in the guide on how to run Docker, containers on IBM Bluemix, we undergone some steps. Also, in the article on micro services, Kubernetes was a hidden part. We have series of guides on Docker, but no guides on Kubernates was so far was published by us. Here are the Steps and Commands to Run Kubernetes Locally With Minikube on MacOS X and Ubuntu.

 

Run Kubernetes Locally : System Requirement

 

We need virtualization capable machine. We may need to enable VT-x or AMD-v virtualization from computer’s BIOS for non-Mac computers. This guide is for GNU/Linux like Ubuntu and MacOS X. This guide is not for Windows. As for Mac, setup should be complete with iTerm2, Homebrew, ZSH.

chmod +x ./kubectl
sudo mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl

For GNU/Linux, the total set of work is :

curl -Lo kubectl https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl && chmod +x kubectl
 
export MINIKUBE_WANTUPDATENOTIFICATION=false
export MINIKUBE_WANTREPORTERRORPROMPT=false
export MINIKUBE_HOME=$HOME
export CHANGE_MINIKUBE_NONE_USER=true
mkdir $HOME/.kube || true
touch $HOME/.kube/config
 
export KUBECONFIG=$HOME/.kube/config
sudo -E ./minikube start --vm-driver=none
 
# this for loop waits until kubectl can access the api server that Minikube has created
for i in {1..150}; do # timeout for 5 minutes
   ./kubectl get po &> /dev/null
   if [ $? -ne 1 ]; then
      break
  fi
  sleep 2
done
 
# kubectl commands are now able to interact with Minikube cluster

We can start Minicube in this way :

Vim
1
minikube start

You’ll get this kind of output :
