This tutorial describes how to setup ExternalDNS for usage within a minikube cluster that makes use of CoreDNS and nginx ingress controller. You need to:
- install CoreDNS with etcd enabled
- install external-dns with coredns as a provider
- enable ingress controller for the minikube cluster
minikube start
Helm chart is used to install etcd and CoreDNS.
helm init
etcd operator is used to manage etcd clusters.
helm install stable/etcd-operator --name my-etcd-op
etcd cluster is installed with example yaml from etcd operator website.
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coreos/etcd-operator/HEAD/example/example-etcd-cluster.yaml
In order to make CoreDNS work with etcd backend, values.yaml of the chart should be changed with corresponding configurations.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/charts/HEAD/stable/coredns/values.yaml
You need to edit/patch the file with below diff
diff --git a/values.yaml b/values.yaml

Note:
- IP address of etcd's endpoint should be get from etcd client service. It should be "example-etcd-cluster-client" in this example. This IP address is used through this document for etcd endpoint configuration.
$ kubectl get svc example-etcd-cluster-client
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
example-etcd-cluster-client ClusterIP 10.105.68.165 <none> 2379/TCP 16m
- Parameters should configure your own domain. "example.org" is used in this example.
After configuration done in values.yaml, you can install coredns chart.
helm install --name my-coredns --values values.yaml stable/coredns
ETCD_URLS is configured to etcd client service address.

You can use the ingress controller in minikube cluster. It needs to enable ingress addon in the cluster.
minikube addons enable ingress
$ cat ingress.yaml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: nginx
spec:
ingressClassName: nginx
rules:
- host: nginx.example.org
http:
paths:
- backend:
serviceName: nginx
servicePort: 80
$ kubectl apply -f ingress.yaml
ingress.extensions "nginx" created
Wait a moment until DNS has the ingress IP. The DNS service IP is from CoreDNS service. It is "my-coredns-coredns" in this example.
$ kubectl get svc my-coredns-coredns
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
my-coredns-coredns ClusterIP 10.100.4.143 <none> 53/UDP 12m
$ kubectl get ingress
NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS AGE
nginx nginx.example.org 10.0.2.15 80 2m
$ kubectl run -it --rm --restart=Never --image=infoblox/dnstools:latest dnstools
