As a huge fan of Vagrant, I love the ability to spin up environments such as the sandbox labs I’ve been using for a long time with Vagrant and VirtualBox. It can also be used for Kubernetes development on a laptop.One of the most compelling reasons to run Docker on your local machine is the speed at which you can deploy and build lab environments.
Minikube can be used to learn Kubernetes and play around with it. It might take a while for the setup to end. This will download and install a single node Kubernetes cluster. Once minikube is installed, to start it, type in ‘minikube.exe start –vm-driver=virtualbox”.
Minikube can be installed using Chocolatey choco install minikubeįollowed by installing the Kubernetes client choco install kubernetes-cli Install DockerToolbox for windows Docker toolbox setup Install minikube for Windows It will perform some steps to finish the installation. Once you finish the installation click on the icon on the Desktop called ‘Docker Quickstart Terminal’. We will therefore install Docker Toolbox for windows from as seen below. Install VirtualBox Install Docker Toolbox for Windowsĭocker for windows is the Communinity Edition that can be installed from the docker store, however, it needs Hyper V which we have just disabled (or is not available if you are using the home edition). If you are installing Docker Toolbox for Windows (next step) then this step is optional since the Toolbox installs VirtualBox too. Download the installable specified in ‘Windows hosts’ and follow instructions. VirtualBox can be installed from as shown in the image below. So, for example, if you want to run linux on windows then VirtualBox is for you. It can be installed on Windows, Mac, Linux or Solaris. VirtualBox allows you to run multiple operating systems on any machine.
Disable Hyper VĬlick on Search -> Type in ‘Turn Windows features on or off’ -> Uncheck Hyper V (and its children) UnInstall hyper V Install VirtualBox If you have Windows 10 Home edition you can ignore that. The first step in the installation is to disable Hyper V. We use VirtualBox since Hyper V is not installed by default on the Windows 10 Home edition and secondly VirtualBox makes it easy to run multiple VMs especially various linux versions and therefore we might want to keep VirtualBox on the laptop. In this article we will look at how to install Minikube and Docker with VirtualBox on Windows 10 Home Machine.
