Run Kubernetes locally
Minikube is a tool that makes it easy to run Kubernetes locally. Minikube runs a single-node Kubernetes cluster inside a VM on your laptop for users looking to try out Kubernetes or develop with it day-to-day.
Minikube uses libmachine for provisioning VMs, and localkube for running the cluster.
For more information about minikube, see the proposal.
- Works across multiple OSes - OS X, Linux and Windows primarily.
- Single command setup and teardown UX.
- Unified UX across OSes
- Minimal dependencies on third party software.
- Minimal resource overhead.
- Replace any other alternatives to local cluster deployment.
- Simplifying kubernetes production deployment experience. Kube-deploy is attempting to tackle this problem.
- Supporting all possible deployment configurations of Kubernetes like various types of storage, networking, etc.
make minikubeStart the cluster with:
$ ./out/minikube start

2016/04/19 11:41:27 Kubernetes is available at http://192.168.99.100:8080.
2016/04/19 11:41:27 Run this command to use the cluster:
2016/04/19 11:41:27 kubectl config set-cluster minikube --insecure-skip-tls-verify=true --server=http://192.168.99.100:8080Access the cluster by adding -s=http://192.168.x.x:8080 to every kubectl command, or run the commands below:
kubectl config set-cluster minikube --insecure-skip-tls-verify=true --server=http://192.168.99.100:8080
kubectl config set-context minikube --cluster=minikube
kubectl config use-context minikubeby running those commands, you may use kubectl normally
