Minikube requires that VT-x/AMD-v virtualization is enabled in BIOS. To check that this is enabled on OSX / macOS run:
sysctl -a | grep machdep.cpu.features | grep VMX
If there's output, you're good!
Everything works on Docker for Mac now, so run the following:
brew install kubectl; brew cask install docker minikube virtualbox
docker --version # Docker version 1.12.3, build 6b644ec
docker-compose --version # docker-machine version 0.8.2, build e18a919
docker-machine --version # docker-compose version 1.8.1, build 878cff1
minikube version # minikube version: v0.12.2
kubectl version --client # Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"4", GitVersion:"v1.4.6+e569a27", GitCommit:"e569a27d02001e343cb68086bc06d47804f62af6", GitTreeState:"not a git tree", BuildDate:"2016-11-12T09:26:56Z", GoVersion:"go1.7.3", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"darwin/amd64"}
minikube start
This can take a while, expected output:
Starting local Kubernetes cluster...
Kubectl is now configured to use the cluster.
Great! You now have a running Kubernetes cluster locally. Minikube started a virtual machine for you, and a Kubernetes cluster is now running in that VM.
kubectl get nodes
Should output something like:
NAME STATUS AGE
minikube Ready 8m
eval $(minikube docker-env)
Running docker ps should now output something like:
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES

First setup a local registry, so Kubernetes can pull the image(s) from there:
docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart=always --name registry registry:2
If you have already built an image, e.g. named 'my-app' locally (check by using docker images), you can publish it to your local repo:
docker tag my-app localhost:5000/my-app
Check the two yaml files, and run the following:
kubectl create -f app-deployment.yml
kubectl create -f app-service.yml
You should now see your pods:
kubectl get pods
minikube stop;
rm -rf ~/.minikube .kube;
brew uninstall kubectl;
brew cask uninstall docker virtualbox minikube;
