Driver plugin installation

Minikube uses Docker Machine to manage the Kubernetes VM so it benefits from the driver plugin architecture that Docker Machine uses to provide a consistent way to manage various VM providers. Minikube embeds VirtualBox and VMware Fusion drivers so there are no additional steps to use them. However, other drivers require an extra binary to be present in the host PATH.

The following drivers currently require driver plugin binaries to be present in the host PATH:

KVM driver

Download the docker-machine-driver-kvm binary from https://github.com/dhiltgen/docker-machine-kvm/releases and put it somewhere in your PATH. Minikube is currently tested against docker-machine-driver-kvm 0.7.0.

xhyve driver

From https://github.com/zchee/docker-machine-driver-xhyve#install:

$ brew install docker-machine-driver-xhyve

# docker-machine-driver-xhyve need root owner and uid
$ sudo chown root:wheel $(brew --prefix)/opt/docker-machine-driver-xhyve/bin/docker-machine-driver-xhyve
$ sudo chmod u+s $(brew --prefix)/opt/docker-machine-driver-xhyve/bin/docker-machine-driver-xhyve
