This article represents point-to-point instructions on how to install / setup Kubernetes on Mac OS/X. We will look into steps for installing Minikube for working with Kubernetes on Mac OS. The goal is to install stand-alone Kuberenetes for development purpose. The following are the steps:
Make sure you have NodeJS and Docker Runtime installed for MacOS.
First and foremost, we need to install the Homebrew, the package manager of MacOS. Use the following command to setup Homebrew:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Once installation is complete, execute the following command to make sure brew successfully got installed:
brew -v
Install Xyve Driver using Brew and set its permissions appropriately.
brew install docker-machine-driver-xhyve sudo chown root:wheel $(brew --prefix)/opt/docker-machine-driver-xhyve/bin/docker-machine-driver-xhyve sudo chmod u+s $(brew --prefix)/opt/docker-machine-driver-xhyve/bin/docker-machine-driver-xhyve
It should be noted that the xhyve driver is now deprecated and support for it will be removed in a future release. It is recommended to consider switching to the hyperkit driver, which is intended to replace the xhyve driver. The github page on Hyperkit provides instructions on installing Hyperkit using brew command.
curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-darwin-amd64 && \ chmod +x minikube && \ sudo mv minikube /usr/local/bin/
brew install kubectl
Finally, its time to get started with Kubernetes. The following are two different commands for starting Minikube when you are behind proxy or otherwise. Execute the following command to check whether you can access sites behind proxy or not:
curl --proxy "" https://cloud.google.com/container-registry/
No Proxy: When you are not behind proxy, execute the following command:
minikube start --vm-driver=xhyve
When behind proxy: Execute following command when you are behind proxy:
minikube start --vm-driver=xhyve --docker-env HTTP_PROXY=http://your-http-proxy-host:your-http-proxy-port --docker-env HTTPS_PROXY=http(s)://your-https-proxy-host:your-https-proxy-port
The following screenshot represents the successful execution of minikube start command.
Execute the following command to access Kubernetes dashboard:
minikube dashboard
The Kubernetes dashboard will show up in a browser window at following URL: http://192.168.64.2:30000/#!/overview?namespace=default. The following screenshot represents the dashboard view.
The following are some of the Minikube commands:
Start Minikube
minikube start
Access Minikube Dashboard
minikube dashboard
Stop Minikube
minikube stop
