Kubernetes with Minikube on CentOS 8)
Minikube is an open-source software written in Go and used for setting up a Kubernetes
cluster on your local machine. Developers or administrators mainly use Minikube for
testing purposes. This cross-platform software can be run on macOS, Linux, and
Windows.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Kubernetes with Minikube on CentOS 8.
Prerequisites
A fresh CentOS 8 VPS (/vps-hosting/) with at least 2GB RAM on the Atlantic.Net
Cloud Platform
A root password configured on your server
Step 1: Create Atlantic.Net Cloud Server
First, log in to your Atlantic.Net Cloud Server (https://cloud.atlantic.net/?
page=userlogin). Create a new server (/cloud-hosting/how-to-create-new-atlantic-net-
cloud-server/), choosing CentOS 8 as the operating system with at least 2GB RAM.
Connect to your Cloud Server via SSH and log in using the credentials highlighted at the
top of the page.
Once you are logged in to your CentOS 8 server, run the following command to update
your base system with the latest available packages.
dnf update -y
Step 2: Install Docker
By default, the Docker package is not available in the CentOS 8 default repo, so you will
need to add the Docker repo in your system.
You can add it with the following command:
dnf config-manager --add-repo=https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo (https://d
After adding the Docker repo, install Docker by running the following command:
dnf install docker-ce --nobest -y
Once the installation is completed, start the Docker service and enable it to start at
system reboot:
systemctl start docker
systemctl enable docker
You can also verify the installed version of Docker using the following command:
docker -v
You should see the following output:
Docker version 19.03.12, build 48a66213fe
Step 3: Install Kubectl
Before starting, you will need to install the required dependencies in your system. You
can install them with the following command:
dnf install curl conntrack -y
Next, you will need to install Kubectl in your system. By default, kubectl is not included in
CentOS 8, so you will need to install it using the curl command:
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/`curl (https://storage.google
https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt`/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl (h
Next, give the execution permission to the downloaded binary and move it to the
/usr/local/bin directory:
chmod +x ./kubectl
mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
You can now verify the Kubectl version with the following command:
kubectl version --client
You should see the following output:
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"18", GitVersion:"v1.18.5",
GitCommit:"e6503f8d8f769ace2f338794c914a96fc335df0f", GitTreeState:"clean",
BuildDate:"2020-06-26T03:47:41Z", GoVersion:"go1.13.9", Compiler:"gc",
Platform:"linux/amd64"}
Step 4: Install Minikube
First, download the Minikube binary package using the curl command:
curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 (
Next, give the execution permission to the downloaded binary with the following
command:
chmod +x minikube
Next, install Minikube by running the following command:
install minikube /usr/local/bin/
You can now start Minikube using the following command:
minikube start --driver=none
Once Minikube is started successfully, you should get the following output:
The above command will download and start the Docker containers for setting up a
single node Kubernetes cluster.
You can also verify the status of the Kubernetes cluster with the following command:
minikube status
You should see the following output:
minikube
type: Control Plane
host: Running
kubelet: Running
apiserver: Running
kubeconfig: Configured
You can also view the cluster information using the following command:
kubectl cluster-info
You should see the following output:
Kubernetes master is running at https://your-server-ip:8443 (https://your-server-ip:8443)
KubeDNS is running at https://your-server-ip:8443/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube- (
dns:dns/proxy
To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use 'kubectl cluster-info dump'.
You can also view the cluster nodes using the following command:
kubectl get nodes
You should get the following output:
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
minicube Ready master 2m v1.18.3
Step 5: Verify Kubernetes Cluster
Now, deploy a k8s using echoserver image to test the Kubernetes cluster.
kubectl create deployment test-minikube --image=k8s.gcr.io/echoserver:1.10
You should see the following output:
deployment.apps/test-minikube (http://deployment.apps/test-minikube) created
Now, expose your deployment on port 8080 using the following command:
kubectl expose deployment test-minikube --type=NodePort --port=8080
You should see the following output:
service/test-minikube exposed
Next, get the information about your exposed deployment using the following command:
kubectl get pod
You should see the following output:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
test-minikube-f4df69575-7m2pl 1/1 Running 0 33s
Next, get the URL of your deployment using the following command:
minikube service test-minikube --url
You should see the following output:
http://your-server-ip:31186 (http://your-server-ip:31186)
Now, open your web browser and access the above URL http://your-server-ip:31186
(http://your-server-ip:31186). You should see the following screen:
Step 6 : Enable Kubernetes Dashboard
Kubernetes comes with a web dashboard that can be used to manage your cluster
through a web browser. By default, the dashboard is disabled in Minikube.
You can list all Minikube addons using the following command:
minikube addons list
You should see the following output:
|-----------------------------|----------|--------------|
| ADDON NAME | PROFILE | STATUS |
|-----------------------------|----------|--------------|
| ambassador | minikube | disabled |
| dashboard | minikube | disabled |
| default-storageclass | minikube | enabled |
| efk | minikube | disabled |
| freshpod | minikube | disabled |
| gvisor | minikube | disabled |
| helm-tiller | minikube | disabled |
| ingress | minikube | disabled |
| ingress-dns | minikube | disabled |
| istio | minikube | disabled |
| istio-provisioner | minikube | disabled |
| logviewer | minikube | disabled |
| metallb | minikube | disabled |
| metrics-server | minikube | disabled |
| nvidia-driver-installer | minikube | disabled |
| nvidia-gpu-device-plugin | minikube | disabled |
| olm | minikube | disabled |
| registry | minikube | disabled |
| registry-aliases | minikube | disabled |
| registry-creds | minikube | disabled |
| storage-provisioner | minikube | enabled |
| storage-provisioner-gluster | minikube | disabled |
|-----------------------------|----------|--------------|
Now, enable the Minikube dashboard and get the URL of the dashboard with the
following command:
minikube dashboard --url
This will enable the Minikube dashboard as shown below:
* Enabling dashboard ...
* Verifying dashboard health ...
* Launching proxy ...
* Verifying proxy health ...
http://127.0.0.1:42939/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/http:kubernetes- (http://
dashboard:/proxy/
Now, you can access the Minikube dashboard locally using the above URL.
