Kubernetes Setup	virtualization kubernetes minikube docker

Install minikube

Set up a practice environment with minikube, using either Docker or VirtualBox.

1. Install the driver (VirtualBox is a good choice).
2. Install minikube.
   • Debian requires manual installation.¹
3. Check it works.

The installation takes a long time.

#  driver=docker
driver=virtualbox
minikube start --driver=${driver}

Check minikube

Check it's all running:

minikube kubectl -- get po -A
