Minikube: easily run Kubernetes locally

Starting Minikube on your laptop ( https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube ): minikube start Seriously, it's that easy. Let me know if you have any questions! Disclosure: I am a PM at Google working on Kubernetes.

There's a bit more to it - it took me a while to realise that I still needed kubectl and the rest of the binaries on the host. I have had a heavy day though so may just have missed that bit.

Love Kubernetes though, this'll be a superb way of spinning some test stuff up!

Heh, that's true - you can't run binaries that aren't there :)

Another thing - the docs state to go to " rel="nofollow">https:// but that does nothing. Instead I have to go to http://kubernetesIP:30000 for the UI. Am I missing something else?

Also, using the KVM driver on Ubuntu 16.04 I have to run the start command twice to be able to bring up a pod. That's with the 'vm-driver=kvm' at the end.

Got there in the end anyways - thank you!

Replying to myself here - the :443 entry seems to have a problem:

"This site can’t provide a secure connection

192.168.42.174 doesn't adhere to security standards. ERR_SSL_SERVER_CERT_BAD_FORMAT"

I assume this is related to Ubuntu/KVM related shenanigans. I'll have a go later on Mac.

Minikube is awesome! We used it at Apprenda in a recent K8s 101 webinar (0). Standing up a local K8s cluster in 1-2 minutes is a really great experience.

Yeah, we're looking into packaging kubectl into an installer with minikube.

Hey,

http://kubernetesIP/ui should work. Where in the docs did you see https://kubernetesIP ? I can get those cleaned up.
