Hai semuanya, di materi kali ini kita akan membahas cara install minikube di Windows 10/11. Diantaranya:

  1. What you’ll need?
  2. Installing Container or virtual machine as backend minikube
  3. Installing minikube binary
  4. Installing kubernetes client
  5. Create cluster using Virtualbox driver
  6. Create cluster using Docker driver (alternative apple silicon)

Ok langsung aja kita bahas ke materi yang pertama

What you’ll need?

Untuk menginstall minikube di Windows 10/11 kita membutuhkan:

  1. 2 CPUs or more
  2. 2GB of free memory
  3. 20GB of free disk space
  4. Internet connection
  5. Container or virtual machine manager, such as: Docker, Podman, VirtualBox, or VMware Player

Klo saya sendiri disini menggunakan Thinkbook 14” dengan specification seperti berikut:

system-info

Installing Container or virtual machine as backend minikube

Untuk Windows 10/11 kita bisa menggunakan beberapa driver yaitu

  1. Docker / Podman
  2. Virtualbox
  3. VMware player

Untuk proses installasi docker di Windows sudah pernah saya bahas di artikel berikut

Untuk proses installasi Virtualbox, simple kita tinggal download file exe pada official websitenya Oracle Virtualbox disini kemudian kita install seperti biasa

Jika sudah terinstall maka tampilannya seperti berikut:

virtualbox

Installing minikube binary

Untuk install minikube juga kita bisa menggunakan beberapa cara yaitu

  1. binary download
  2. chocolatey

Klo saya lebih suka menggunakan package manager Chocolatey, jadi pertama buat temen-temen yang belum install Chocolatey bisa install dulu jika sudah kita lanjutkan dengan perintah berikut:

choco install minikube

Jika sudah success, coba check di terminal dengan perintah seperti berikut:

minikube version

Hasilnya seperti berikut:

➜ ~  minikube version
minikube version: v1.24.0
commit: 76b94fb3c4e8ac5062daf70d60cf03ddcc0a741b

Installing kubernetes client

Untuk install kubernetes client / kubectl kita bisa menggunakan beberapa cara yaitu

  1. binary download
  2. Package Manager Chocolatey

Sama seperti sebelumnya kita bisa install menggunakan perintah berikut:

choco install kubernetes-cli kustomize

jika dijalankan maka hasilnya seperti berikut:

➜ ~  kubectl version --client
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"23", GitVersion:"v1.23.1", GitCommit:"86ec240af8cbd1b60bcc4c03c20da9b98005b92e", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2021-12-16T11:41:01Z", GoVersion:"go1.17.5", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"windows/amd64"}

Create cluster using Virtualbox driver

Setelah kita menginstall tools untuk belajar kubernetes seperti virtualbox atau docker sebagai kubernetes runtime serta minikube ,kubectl dan kustomize. Sekarang kita akan membuat single kubernetes cluster dengan minikube menggunakan driver virtualbox.

Untuk membuat kita bisa menggunakan perintah minikube start untuk lebih jelasnya kita bisa lihat dokumentasinya seperti berikut:

minikube start -h

Jika dijalankan hasilnya seperti berikut:

➜ ~  minikube start -h

Secara default jika kita membuat single cluster dengan minikube menggunakan Virtualbox biasanya kita akan dibuatkan VM dengan configurasi

  • 2CPUs
  • 2GB memory
  • 20GB storage
  • Driver virtualbox

Nah saya mau override nilai tersebut untuk membuat clusternya dengan configurasi seperti berikut:

Jika dijalankan maka outputnya seperti berikut:

➜ ~  minikube start --memory 4g --driver virtualbox --no-vtx-check true

πŸ„  Done! kubectl is now configured to use "minikube" cluster and "default" namespace by default

Nah sekarang jika kita lihat di virtualbox, akan jalan VM linux seperti berikut:

vm-kubernetes-cluster

Dengan begitu kita sudah bisa menggunakan kubernetes clusternya, sekarang kita coba check dengan perintah seperti berikut:

Jika dijalankan maka hasilnya seperti berikut:

➜ ~  kubectl version

➜ ~  kubectl cluster-info

CoreDNS is running at https://192.168.59.104:8443/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-dns:dns/proxy

To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use 'kubectl cluster-info dump'.

➜ ~  kubectl get nodes

Nah sekarang kita sudah bisa menggunakan kubernetes cluster tersebut untuk belajar atau sebagai learning environment kita.

Create cluster using Docker driver (alternative)

Selain menggunakan virtualbox kita juga bisa menggunakan Docker sebagai drivernya minikube.

Untuk membuat single cluster dengan Docker driver, syaratnya adalah

  1. Install docker-desktop untuk Windows
  2. Setting container-resources seperti increse memory, dan cpu

Untuk settingan docker-desktop disini saya menggunakan settingan .wslconfig seperti berikut:

[wsl2]
memory=4GB # Limits VM memory in WSL 2 to 4 GB
processors=2

Nah sekarang kita buat clusternya dengan perintah seperti berikut:

Nah jadi klo kita setting memory lebih besar dari yang kita setting di Docker Desktop biasanya akan error create cluster dengan notifikasi seperti berikut:

❌  Exiting due to MK_USAGE: Docker Desktop has only 3934MB memory but you specified 3993MB

Jika sudah success, maka hasilnya seperti berikut:

➜ ~ βœ—  minikube start --driver docker --memory 3500MB

Nah sekarang jika kita lihat di docker list container, disinilah kubernetes engine berjalan.

➜ ~  docker container ls

Setelah itu kita bisa, menggunakan kubernetes clusternya untuk learning environtment.
