How to Install Minikube on Ubuntu Virtual Machine?
- Kubernetes is a platform that is free and open source to handle containerized applications simplifying the process of deploying and managing them over a group of connected machines. Minikube is a streamlined, single-node Kubernetes setup designed for local development and testing.
- NodeShift provides affordable Virtual Machines that meet GDPR, SOC2, and ISO27001 requirements. Users can create a Compute Node, Choose VM Configuration, and Choose an Image for their Virtual Machine.
- Minikube can run using different drivers such as Docker. Docker is an open-source platform that enables developers to build, deploy, run, update, and manage containers. Users can run Minikube on Ubuntu virtual machines without the need for managing a complex, multi-node cluster.
- In Step 11, users can add the current user to the docker group using the usermod command, giving them permission to run Docker commands without using sudo every time. While Step 12 involves installing kubectl, the Kubernetes command-line tool, which Minikube uses to interact with the cluster.
- Users can start Minikube and verify the installation in Steps 15 and 16. To access the Kubernetes dashboard, users can use the ssh command with port forwarding to tunnel the local URL from the VM to their local system.
- By following the instructions given in the article, users can easily create a single-node cluster in a virtual machine, allowing them to gain hands-on experience and experiment with Kubernetes functionalities.
