How to install Kubernetes Locally via Minikube

  • 772

Trying to learn more about Kubernetes I tried to install a standalone instance. If you try to run minikube terminal? suggest installing it through snap.

sudo snap install minikube kubectl
  • snap info minikube

    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.

  • snap info kubectl

    kubectl is a command line interface for running commands against Kubernetes

But that let me with this error:

$ minikube start
There is a newer version of minikube available (v0.32.0).  Download it here:
https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases/tag/v0.32.0
To disable this notification, add WantUpdateNotification: False to the json config file at /home/pablo/snap/minikube/4/.minikube/config
(you may have to create the file config.json in this folder if you have no previous configuration)

I tried:

  • Almost all suggestions on Github issues: 278, 867, 927, 2294, 2424.
  • Installing (already there) libvirt-bin (libvirt-clients libvirt-daemon)
  • sudo virsh -c qemu:///system net-start default

Maybe not ready for prime time?

    I finally found a working solution, removing the snap package (sudo snap remove minikube) and then following one of the official guides keeping kubectl:

    curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 \
&& sudo install minikube-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/minikube

    Tested with kubectl version and

    $ kubectl get nodes
NAME       STATUS   ROLES    AGE   VERSION
minikube   Ready    master   25m   v1.12.4

    To run the dashboard just

    minikube dashboard

    Alternatively you could try microk8s (add-ons, ARM, multi-node), kind or k3s. You might be also interested in Nomad.
