Minikube commands
Minikube commands are almost exactly the same as those from Docker Machine which, on the other hand, are similar to those from Vagrant.
minikube start --vm-driver=virtualbox
- creates a new VM based on the Minikube image, and deploys the necessary Kubernetes components into it.
- The VM will get configured with Docker and Kubernetes via a single binary called localkube.
- This image includes several binaries, including Docker engine
- after creating a new VM, we'll need to connect the docker client to the docker server with
eval $(minikube docker-env)
minikube dashboard
- open a browser-based UI
minikube docker-env
- output the docker environment variables to console
- these env variables are relevant for the docker engine running in the image
minikube stop
- stop the cluster, but preserve cluster state and data
