| # Setting Up Minikube for OpenWhisk |
| |
| First, download and install Minikube following these [instructions](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube). |
| |
| ## Setup MacOS for local minikube |
| We recommend using the same versions we use in Travis, using asdf makes it very easy to select the version of minikube and kubectl |
| |
| ### Install asdf |
| ``` |
| brew install asdf |
| ``` |
| ### Setup asdf in terminal |
| Edit your `~/.profile` or equivalent |
| ``` |
| [ -s "/usr/local/opt/asdf/asdf.sh" ] && . /usr/local/opt/asdf/asdf.sh |
| ``` |
| |
| ### Add minikune and kubectl plugins |
| ``` |
| asdf plugin-add kubectl |
| asdf plugin-add minikube |
| ``` |
| |
| ### Install asdf plugin minikube@0.23.0 and kubectl@1.7.4 |
| ``` |
| asdf install kubectl 1.7.4 |
| asdf global kubectl 1.7.4 |
| asdf install minikube 0.23.0 |
| asdf global minikube 0.23.0 |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Create the minikube VM |
| You will want at least 4GB of memory and 2 CPUs for Minikube to run OpenWhisk. |
| If you have a larger machine, you may want to provision more (especially more memory). |
| |
| Start Minikube with: |
| ``` |
| minikube start --cpus 2 --memory 4096 --kubernetes-version=v1.7.4 |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Setup Docker network in promiscuous mode |
| Put the docker network in promiscuous mode. |
| ``` |
| minikube ssh -- sudo ip link set docker0 promisc on |
| ``` |
| |
| Your Minikube cluster should now be ready to deploy OpenWhisk. |
