1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,600 Hi, Let us understand how to install minikube and make use of it to learn 2 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:14,633 helm, as you all know, helm is a package manager for given its application, I need a kubernetes 3 00:00:14,633 --> 00:00:19,499 environment to learn and test, given its application using helm. 4 00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:21,166 I can have my own cluster. 5 00:00:21,166 --> 00:00:27,566 or I can go ahead and do the installation of minikube so that the entire environment for kubernetes 6 00:00:27,566 --> 00:00:33,232 will be available in a single click and Minikube can be installed in any of the operating systems 7 00:00:33,233 --> 00:00:36,099 like Linux, MacOS or Windows 8 00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:44,400 Here I am going to demonstrate how to do the installation of Minikube and start using helm with minikube. 9 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,600 Minikube leverage is the virtualization environment. 10 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:53,466 In our case, it will be using the virtual box and the detailed steps of how to do the installation 11 00:00:53,466 --> 00:00:57,932 of minikube is available over here and installation is very simple where 12 00:00:57,933 --> 00:01:00,866 It needs to have the following requirements. 13 00:01:00,866 --> 00:01:06,532 That is in terms of the hyper V and the virtualization should be enabled within the laptop and almost 14 00:01:06,533 --> 00:01:09,999 all the laptops nowadays comes with this particular feature. 15 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,033 If it is not enabled, that needs to be enabled within the BIOS and there are a lot of instructions 16 00:01:15,033 --> 00:01:16,966 available over the Google. 17 00:01:16,966 --> 00:01:22,299 And along with this, we need to have a virtualization environment like the virtual box or VM ware 18 00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:27,600 In my case, I already do have the virtual box and I can download the installation for 19 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,700 minikube from this specific location. 20 00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:34,800 The installation can be downloaded as a executable, so once it is downloaded, I can go ahead 21 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,766 and do the installation, by executing the executable automatically 22 00:01:38,766 --> 00:01:44,699 It's going to do all the requirement check as well as the configuration changes. The requirement check 23 00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:50,133 It's going to check whether the hyper V is enabled and virtual box is installed or not and virtual 24 00:01:50,133 --> 00:01:52,333 box installation is also very simple. 25 00:01:52,333 --> 00:01:58,233 In a single flake, I can execute the executable and get the installation done. Once the installation 26 00:01:58,233 --> 00:02:02,366 is done I should be in a position to get the status about the minikube. 27 00:02:02,366 --> 00:02:04,132 I'm going to work in this specific location. 28 00:02:04,133 --> 00:02:07,833 Let me go ahead and open the power shell. I can directly 29 00:02:07,833 --> 00:02:10,966 Open the power shell by clicking shift and right clicking. 30 00:02:10,966 --> 00:02:12,966 I do have the option or otherwise I 31 00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:17,666 can open the power shell in any location and get into that specific directory. 32 00:02:17,666 --> 00:02:19,432 Always I prefer to work with power shell 33 00:02:19,433 --> 00:02:22,599 the reason because few of the commands or the script 34 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,500 Execution works better in power shell rather than in the command prompt. 35 00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:36,700 And once the installation is done within the environmental variables 36 00:02:36,700 --> 00:02:40,433 power of advanced settings, environmental variables 37 00:02:40,433 --> 00:02:42,533 I can check the path. 38 00:02:42,533 --> 00:02:46,999 So it's going to add the location where minikube is installed as a part of the path 39 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,766 So it should understand the command minikube from any location, if it is not, you can go ahead and 40 00:02:52,766 --> 00:02:59,799 add them. I can provide the command minikube. 41 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,533 So once it provides the help option, that means minikube installation is good 42 00:03:04,533 --> 00:03:14,066 I can go ahead and check the status about the minikube, minikube status 43 00:03:14,066 --> 00:03:17,232 So it's in the stopped state, so automatically what it will do 44 00:03:17,233 --> 00:03:23,033 It will start the required components, that is API server, Kubelet, Kube configurations, everything 45 00:03:23,033 --> 00:03:30,866 will be done in a single system so that I can use that specific single system for all the needs of kubernetes 46 00:03:30,866 --> 00:03:36,299 So all the components required for kubernetes to run will be executed in a single system. 47 00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:40,333 And that can be used for trial or test purpose. 48 00:03:40,333 --> 00:03:41,999 Now I am going to start the minikube 49 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,200 I need to provide what driver to use and in my case I have installed a virtual box. 50 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,900 So I am going to use virtual box as the driver. 51 00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:51,366 I will give the command. 52 00:03:51,366 --> 00:04:00,866 minikube start driver=virtualbox 53 00:04:00,866 --> 00:04:03,999 So it will create a VM with in the virtual box. 54 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,366 I don't need to worry about working on that specific VM into the virtual box automatically, it's going 55 00:04:09,366 --> 00:04:10,666 to create the virtual box 56 00:04:10,666 --> 00:04:14,232 Download the required image and get that image started. 57 00:04:14,233 --> 00:04:17,099 First time when it is downloading, it's going to take more time. 58 00:04:17,100 --> 00:04:22,233 And once the images available, next time, it's going to just start the virtual box. 59 00:04:22,233 --> 00:04:24,633 So it should get started faster. 60 00:04:24,633 --> 00:04:30,199 So the minikube command automatically, it will configure the required components in terms of downloading 61 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:36,100 the right virtual box images and preparing the kubernetes and docker within it. 62 00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:41,200 Once the download is done, it's going to enable all the required components in terms of the dashboards, 63 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:46,700 storage class provisioner and it's going to configure the kubectl so that it can work with minikube. 64 00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:49,866 Now I do have the installation good. 65 00:04:49,866 --> 00:04:55,599 Now let me test whether the kubectl is configured properly or not by issuing the command kubectl 66 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:01,700 get all that's going to provide me the required service that is running within the kubernetes. 67 00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:05,300 And this confirms the kubectl is configured. 68 00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:08,066 As well as minikube is also working fine. 69 00:05:08,066 --> 00:05:11,532 I can go ahead and deploy whatever the components that are required. 70 00:05:11,533 --> 00:05:18,333 And one other important component that will be very useful for many Kube understanding is dashboard. 71 00:05:18,333 --> 00:05:24,766 That's going to provide the bigger picture of what are all the components running within the kubernetes environment. 72 00:05:24,766 --> 00:05:31,432 I can issue the command minikube dashboard. 73 00:05:31,433 --> 00:05:37,433 So that's going to provide me the dashboard on the minikube on what are all the nodes running and 74 00:05:37,433 --> 00:05:43,499 what are the volumes and different workloads in terms of parts, jobs, deployments, daemon sets, 75 00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:46,500 everything will be available in a single dashboard. 76 00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:48,066 Say, for example, within nodes 77 00:05:48,066 --> 00:05:49,966 I will be having only one node 78 00:05:49,966 --> 00:05:54,932 And details on what is the memory, CPU utilization other details will be available. 79 00:05:54,933 --> 00:05:56,566 The same way I can check 80 00:05:56,566 --> 00:05:58,632 What are all the pods available 81 00:05:58,633 --> 00:06:06,133 I will be making use of this specific dashboard to understand the different components that got deployed using helm. 82 00:06:06,133 --> 00:06:11,399 In a quick summary we learnt about how to do the installation of minikube and make it ready so that 83 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,533 we can use it with helm to try out our chart deployments.
