Introduction<\/h2>\n

Minikube is an all-in-one Kubernetes cluster that runs on your Linux system. It\u2019s an open-source tool under the CNCF umbrella. The cluster operates inside a virtual machine and includes the container runtime environment that containers could run inside the node.<\/p>\n

This is the easiest way to provision a Kubernetes cluster for testing and developing on your local environment.<\/p>\n

This article will show you the steps to install Minikube on your Ubuntu 20.04 machine.<\/p>\n

Install pre-enquiries<\/h2>\n

Firstly, let\u2019s update the software packages list then upgrade your Ubuntu 20.04 machine by running the following commands:<\/p>\n

$ sudo apt update<\/pre>\n
$ sudo apt upgrade<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Please make sure that these below packages will be installed.<\/p>\n
$ sudo apt install curl<\/pre>\n
$ sudo apt install apt-transport-https<\/pre>\n
Install the VirtualBox<\/h2>\n
In order to set up a single-node Kubernetes cluster with Minikube, you have to create a virtual machine on your Ubuntu machine. You can choose VirtualBox or KVM. In this guide, we use VirtualBox.<\/p>\n
$ sudo apt install virtualbox virtualbox-ext-pack<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
After the installation is completed, let\u2019s move to the next step.<\/p>\n
Install Minikube<\/h2>\n
Now, it\u2019s time to download the latest Minikube from the official repository.<\/p>\n
$ wget https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/minikube\/releases\/latest\/minikube-linux-amd64<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
The minikube file has just been downloaded, you have to grant the execute permission to it.<\/p>\n
$ chmod +x minikube-linux-amd64<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Next, move the minikube file to \/usr\/local\/bin directory:<\/p>\n
$ sudo mv minikube-linux-amd64 \/usr\/local\/bin\/minikube<\/pre>\n
Checking the minikube version:<\/p>\n
$ minikube version<\/pre>\n
Output:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As you can see, the current version of minikube is v1.21.0.<\/p>\n
In order to provision the All-In-One Kubernetes cluster, let\u2019s start the minikube by running the following command:<\/p>\n
$ minikube start<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve just successfully provisioned a Kubernetes cluster on your local machine.<\/p>\n
Manage the Kubernetes cluster<\/h2>\n
To interact with the Kubernetes cluster, you have to install the kubectl <\/strong>tool.<\/p>\n
$ curl -LO https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/kubernetes-release\/release\/`curl -s https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/kubernetes-release\/release\/stable.txt`\/bin\/linux\/amd64\/kubectl<\/a><\/pre>\n
Granting the executing permission:<\/p>\n
$ chmod +x kubectl<\/pre>\n
Then, move the kubectl binary to \/usr\/local\/bin<\/p>\n
$ sudo mv kubectl \/usr\/local\/bin<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Now, you can run some basic commands with kubectl<\/strong> to interact with your Kubernetes cluster. For examples:<\/p>\n
To show the running node:<\/p>\n
$ kubectl get node<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
To get the cluster information:<\/p>\n
$ kubectl cluster-info<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n
You\u2019ve already go through the details of how to install Minikube on your Ubuntu 20.04 machine. Now, you can use the single-node Kubernetes with minikube to learn one of the most famous containers orchestration tools in the Cloud Native era.<\/p>\n
