Download the latest release with the command:
curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/arm64/kubectl"
Validate the binary, Download the kubectl checksum file:
curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/arm64/kubectl.sha256"
Validate the kubectl binary against the checksum file:
echo "$(cat kubectl.sha256) kubectl" | sha256sum --check
If valid, the output is:
kubectl: OK
Install kubectl
sudo install -o root -g root -m 0755 kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
Test to ensure the version you installed is up-to-date:
kubectl version --client
Set up Docker's apt repository.
# Add Docker's official GPG key:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
# Add the repository to Apt sources:
echo \
"deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
$(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update
Install the Docker packages.
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
Verify that the Docker Engine installation is successful by running the hello-world image.
sudo docker run hello-world
This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container. When the container runs, it prints a confirmation message and exits.
minikube is local Kubernetes, focusing on making it easy to learn and develop for Kubernetes.
All you need is Docker (or similarly compatible) container or a Virtual Machine environment, and Kubernetes is a single command away: minikube start
To install the latest minikube stable release on ARM64 Linux using binary download:
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-arm64
sudo install minikube-linux-arm64 /usr/local/bin/minikube
Start a cluster using the docker driver:
minikube start --driver=docker
To make docker the default driver:
minikube config set driver docker
If minikube fails to start, try to set permission to docker.sock
sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock
netcat is needed to check network address, install it with sudo apt install netcat
kubeadm need to be installed to create a new cluster, visit https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/tools/kubeadm/install-kubeadm/#k8s-install-0
Interact with your cluster
kubectl get po -A
You can also make your life easier by adding the following to your shell config: (for more details see: kubectl)
alias kubectl="minikube kubectl --"
Open dashboard
minikube dashboard
Congrats!!! Kubernetes installed and running on http://127.0.0.1:34307/
Now deploy an example application
Create a sample deployment and expose it on port 8080:
kubectl create deployment hello-minikube --image=kicbase/echo-server:1.0
kubectl expose deployment hello-minikube --type=NodePort --port=8080
It may take a moment, but your deployment will soon show up when you run:
kubectl get services hello-minikube
The easiest way to access this service is to let minikube launch a web browser for you:
minikube service hello-minikube
Alternatively, use kubectl to forward the port:
kubectl port-forward service/hello-minikube 7080:8080
Tada! Your application is now available at http://localhost:7080/.
You should be able to see the request metadata in the application output. Try changing the path of the request and observe the changes. Similarly, you can do a POST request and observe the body show up in the output.
Pause Kubernetes without impacting deployed applications:
minikube pause
Unpause a paused instance:
minikube unpause
Halt the cluster:
minikube stop
Change the default memory limit (requires a restart):
minikube config set memory 9001
Browse the catalog of easily installed Kubernetes services:
minikube addons list
Create a second cluster running an older Kubernetes release:
minikube start -p aged --kubernetes-version=v1.16.1
Delete all of the minikube clusters:
minikube delete --all
