Introduction
this is part 30 from the journey it's a long journey(360 day) so go please check previous parts , and if you need to walk in the journey with me please make sure to follow because I may post more than once in 1 Day but surely I will post daily at least one 😍.
And I will cover lot of tools as we move on.
What is Minikube
Minikube is like an virtual machine contain a Linux operation system and have 1 node as master also in same time as worker. and you can communicate with it using kubctl using a configuration file.
Install on Linux
curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 \
&& chmod +x minikube
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin/
sudo install minikube /usr/local/bin/
this commands will install minikube on Linux , also we need to install kubctl
Download latest version
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/`
curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt
`/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
then make it excutable
chmod +x ./kubectl
move the excutable to bin so we can access it directly from terminal
sudo mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
to make sure that installation successful
kubectl version --client
for other platforms check minikube and kubectl
Start the action
first we need to start minikube
minikube start --driver=virtualbox
I am using driver virtualbox because I got some problem with driver docker , and lazy to fix them.
after successfully starting it. We can see that a cluster have been made , to see it type
cat ~/.kube/config
for windows users , it's in c>Users>your_username>.kube>config
We can see we have a cluster with name minikube , and user with name of minikube.
We can setup our own clusters in this file but we are going to do later on this journey.
kubectl get nodes
We can see that we have minikube ready and it's role is master also workder in same time.
