minikube snap packaging

This project builds a snap package of minikube.

Note that for strict confinement, this snap depends on a libvirt interface, which is currently proposed into snapd, but has not released yet. Until it has, I'm afraid this isn't quite ready for general consumption.

Install

Requirements

  • snap and snapd

See installation instructions for your platform. snap and snapd come installed on Ubuntu 16.04.

However, see note above. The necessary libvirt support isn't released yet.

  • libvirtd & QEMU/KVM

The snap currently only supports minikube with the KVM driver, which will be used by default when starting a new VM. Other drivers may be added later.

Steps

$ sudo snap install minikube

Will install minikube as /snap/bin/minikube and kubectl as /snap/bin/minikube.ctl.

Usage

minikube and minikube.ctl should work as you'd expect.

Note that minikube and kubectl are snap-confined, so will store configuration, image and state files under /snap/minikube/....

Known Issues

Some scripts expect kubectl in your $PATH. It may be helpful to create a symbolic link called kubectl to /snap/bin/minikube.ctl.

With confinement: strict:

  • minikube dashboard can't currently open a browser. minikube dashboard --url works, however.
  • minikube delete will remove the VM, but fails to clean up files under /snap/minikube/... owned by root.
