macOS is my OS platform, VirtualBox my virtualisation platform – I tried to follow the instructions (I found in my online courses by Sander von Fugt and Mumshad Mannambeth) and set up minikube within a VM. But I did not succeed setting up minikube in a VirtualBox VM. I attempted using a free VMware Fusion Player – but macOSwise I am not really up-to-date – I am still (now in March 2021) on Mojave (10.14), and VMware Fusion Player 12 does not run on Mojave. So finally I deviated from those advises, and followed the advised here below – and so far successfully.
I would have preferred to use my Synology NAS for my Kubernetes experiments, as I did for Docker. But as I am too anxious spoiling the NAS terribly, so I refrained from doing so. The NAS offers Docker itself, so that’s not such a risk at all. I would have liked to couple minikube and kubectl with that NAS as container environment – but I don’t feel fit enough for that.
So here are the links, that led me to my little success:
- https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/#install-kubectl-on-macos
- https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/ – here I found instructions for macOS
