Official minikube docker image?

[kkimdev]

I was looking for official minikube docker image and found this issue #2036 . However, the image mentioned there seems not getting updated anymore https://console.cloud.google.com/gcr/images/k8s-minikube/GLOBAL/localkube-dind-image?gcrImageListsize=50 and I realized that the files & docs related to the image is removed from this repository 8cd01a8#diff-078f40fa23e0672777adc7c05d4773dd

What's the status of the official image? Is this discontinued?

Hi @kkimdev those images were for localkube - as localkube is discontinued (#2911), that is not going to be published anymore. Hypervisor based minikube doesn't really work from a docker container and the None driver won't really work either as it relies on systemd to run the kubelet on your machine.

Oh ok... That's an unfortunate :(. Thanks for the answer!

Hi!

Any chance we can hack it to run in container?
Then minikube can be a highly-valued tool for integration tests

It is on the roadmap. For now, it is VM based.

My plan is to fake the systemctl to work with minikube.
I saw at least on proof of concept with minikube 0.25.

Am I missing something?

Is there any update? I think as @stsukrov, I would be great to have a minikube container for integration as well as development tests.

See #4389

We are quite happy using kind in almost all scenarios instead of minikube.
