Let’s confirm the docker daemon is accessible. Before we can use the daemon, let’s set the environment variables. Since we already deployed kubectl binary, we can use it directly.Īt this point, we have a Kubernetes cluster and as we used the Docker driver, the Docker daemon is also running. We can check the cluster with kubectl as below: ❯ minikube kubectl get nodes NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION minikube Ready master 7m6s v1.19.14 You can either uninstall it or add listen-address=192.168.64.1 to nf. If you have dnsmasq running locally, there might be failures in DNS resolution within the cluster. ▪ Want kubectl v1.19.14? Try 'minikube kubectl - get pods -A' 🏄 Done! kubectl is now configured to use 'minikube' cluster and 'default' namespace by default

Here’s the output of the above command: 😄 minikube v1.23.0 on Darwin 11.5.2 ▪ MINIKUBE_ACTIVE_DOCKERD=minikube ✨ Using the hyperkit driver based on user configuration 👍 Starting control plane node minikube in cluster minikube 💾 Downloading Kubernetes v1.19.14 preload. I am deploying an older version for my needs. Drop the flag to simply deploy the latest version. Use the flag -kubernetes-version to deploy a specific Kubernetes version. ❯ minikube start -kubernetes-version=v1.19.14 -driver=hyperkit -container-runtime=docker minikube config set cpus 6 minikube config set memory 12gįinally, let’s start the Kubernetes cluster. Just like with Docker Desktop, it is wise to set the correct CPU and memory limits especially if you intend to run many pods. But since we want the Docker daemon to be able to build docker images, let’s use Docker. Containerd is a nice choice given Kubernetes itself is moving away from Docker in favor of Containerd. What container runtime to use?Īvailable options - docker, containerd and cri-o. We will use the Hyperkit driver for Mac (AMD64) and Podman driver for M1 (See end of this post). In other words, do we deploy Kubernetes in VM, Containers or directly bare-metal? There are various options that can be found here depending on the OS.

brew install minikubeīefore we get cracking with a Kubernetes cluster, here are some useful things to know: What driver to use? With the Hyperkit deployed, we are ready to deploy the Kubernetes cluster and in the process get a Docker daemon as well. Is the docker daemon running? Install Kubectl brew install kubectl ❯ docker info Client: Context: default Debug Mode: false Server: ERROR: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. This will install the Docker CLI but not the Docker daemon ( dockerd). This will install Docker Desktop and we will be back to where we started! Note: Do not run brew install -cask docker.

Docker is still a helpful, open source Container Management tool and if you have a bunch of Dockerfiles to deal with, Docker CLI can be useful. We want to get rid of Docker Desktop but not Docker itself. ❯ hyperkit -v hyperkit: 0.20200908 Homepage: License: BSD Install Docker CLI Hyperkit is still a viable choice for local Kubernetes clusters on Mac.

If you didn’t use Homebrew, then uninstall the tool accordingly. This will get rid of not just Docker but also Hyperkit, Docker daemon which allows building images, Docker CLI to interact with the daemon, Kubernetes clusters and kubectl binary (unless you have it deployed separately). Let’s start with removing Docker Desktop first. If you have tried this on Linux, let me know how it went.Īre you on Apple M1 Silicon (ARM64)?

With the “in-your-face” popup to force upgrade Docker and the software license change, it was time to look elsewhere for local Kubernetes development needs. Even though it eats CPU and memory like crazy and makes the fans go wild. I have been using Docker Desktop to enable Docker and Kubernetes in Mac for quite some time now.
