minikube profiles are meant to be isolated from one another, with their own settings and drivers. If you want to create a single cluster with multiple nodes, try the [multi-node feature]({{< ref "/docs/tutorials/multi_node" >}}) instead.

## Can I use minikube as a Docker Desktop replacement?
minikube's VM includes a Docker daemon running inside Linux for free, so you can use
`minikube docker-env` to point your terminal's Docker CLI to the Docker inside minikube.

You would need to start minikube with a VM driver, instead of docker, such as hyperkit on macOS and Hyper-V on Windows.
```
minikube start --driver=hyperv
```
Alternatively, you can use `minikube image build` instead of `minikube docker-env` and `docker build`.

## Can I start minikube without Kuberentes runninng?
Yes! If you want to use minikube only as a Docker Desktop replacement without starting Kubernetes itself, try:
```
minikube start --no-kubernetes
```

Alternatively, if you want to temporarily turn off Kubernetes, you can pause and later unpause Kubernetes
```
minikube pause
```

minikube also has an addon that automatically pauses Kubernetes after a certain amount of inactivity:

```
minikube addons enable auto-pause
```



## Docker Driver: How can I set minikube's cgroup manager?
