Update docker version in minikube iso - possible?

[harmon25]

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST?:
FEATURE REQUEST

Minikube version :
v0.19.0

Environment: linux

• OS : debian jessie
• VM Driver : virtualbox
• ISO version : minikube-v0.18.0.iso
• Install tools: debian installer
• Others: N/A

What happened:
Am using the new multistage build in docker but this does not work on the minikube iso as it is running docker v1.11.1.

It is in the edge docker release so not expecting this to be implemented in a minikube release anytime soon, but would it be possible to upgrade docker in the minikube-iso to ^17.05?

Have newer versions of docker been tested?
Worry that would be quite the jump...

We're due for an update, but we probably can't go all the way to 17.05. We match what upstream kubernetes currently tests with, which will be lagging behind docker for a few releases.

hello, is there any update to this?

[kilianc]

It would be nice to have at least >= 1.13.0 so we can use cache_from in docker compose files.

[kilianc]

Is there a way to just apt-get docker and update it at our own risk?

[kilianc]

see #1542 (comment)

If you are stuck with this, you can preview the custom ISO with:

$ gsutil cp gs://minikube-builds/1542/minikube-darwin-amd64 ~/.bin/minikube
$ minikube start --iso-url=https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube-builds/1542/minikube-testing.iso

Works perfectly for me! 🍻

Just FYI:

Kubernetes 1.8 supports docker version 1.11.x, 1.12.x and 1.13.x

btw Docker 17.03 (is actually 1.13.x) has been validated for K8s 1.8 too.

I'm keen to try multi-stage builds so having docker 17.05+ would be nice :D

[medyagh]

We in github.com/k8guard need multi-stage builds, is there any way to update the minikube's docker version manually?

As of the 26th of October 2017 the newest version of the Minikube iso has docker 17.05-ce https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#version-0230---10262017
