Minikube

Minikube runs Kubernetes in a single VM.

...

• Install VirtualBox (can also use Hyper-V, but not tested here)
  • Disable Hyper-V: Settings > Turn Windows Features on or off; uncheck Hyper-V
• Download minikube for Windows
• minikube.exe start
  • Will make changes to VirtualBox
• Works well on Windows

Linux/VM

• Minikube will work on Linux, but so far we haven't been able to use it on a VM (e.g., OpenStack). Hyperkube works for this.

Hyperkube

Our current ndslabs-startup/kube-up.sh relies on Hyperkube (Kubernetes in Docker)

• This works well on OpenStack VMs
• Doesn't work well for Docker on Windows/MacOS
  
  
• Our current ndslabs-startup/kube-up relies on Hyperkube, which is basically Kubernetes in Docker. 
  • gcr.io/google_containers/hyperkube-amd64
• Hyperkube works fine on CoreOS boxes in OpenStack, but has proven problematic under Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows due to permissions problems.
• The CoreOS project provides a process for launching Kubernetes on CoreOS, using another hyperkube image
  • https://coreos.com/kubernetes/docs/latest/kubernetes-on-generic-platforms.html
  • Uses quay.io/coreos/hyperkube image

Vagrant

...

MacOS

...

The VirtualBox/Vagrant approach suggested by David at first glance appears to be a better approach than Minikube for a laptop-based installationworks on MacOS. As with Minikube, this will not work on an OpenStack or other VM without running a different virtualization package (VirtualBox won't work in a VM). It's not clear that Vagrant will support this configuration.

...

• Domain name (dnsmasq)? For now add /etc/hosts entry
• IP address – IP of master node – same as used by kubeconfig
• ndslabs-up.sh
• kubectl label will change
• Email fails, but could output to log?
• No addons, currently
• Added bind service to support local DNS, based on instructions in 
  • http://www.damagehead.com/blog/2015/04/28/deploying-a-dns-server-using-docker/
  • Worked like a charm, did have to add DNS server to network settings

Windows 10

...

• Install Virtualbox
• Install vagrant
• Install git

 

 Minikube (MacOS)

• I've been trying to run with Minikube locally for development and haven't been thrilled.
