But I did not succeed setting up minikube in a VirtualBox VM. I attempted using a free VMware Fusion Player \u2013 but macOSwise I am not really up-to-date \u2013 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 \u2013 and so far successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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&#8217;s not such a risk at all. I would have liked to couple minikube and kubectl with that NAS as container environment \u2013 but I don&#8217;t feel fit enough for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So here are the links, that led me to my little success:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/kubernetes.io\/docs\/tasks\/tools\/install-kubectl\/#install-kubectl-on-macos\u2028\">https:\/\/kubernetes.io\/docs\/tasks\/tools\/install-kubectl\/#install-kubectl-on-macos<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/minikube.sigs.k8s.io\/docs\/start\/\">https:\/\/minikube.sigs.k8s.io\/docs\/start\/<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 here I found instructions for macOS<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>macOS is my OS platform, VirtualBox my virtualisation platform \u2013 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.
