Minikube commands

minikube-handy-ref.sh

# Start minikube cluster in local
minikube start

# optionally start with cpu s and memory
minikube start --cpus=4 --memory=4096

# to change the docker machine to point to the kubernetes cluster
eval $(minikube docker-env)

# Note: Kubernetes supports docker version - 1.11.1. 
# So if you have latest docker in local, then this might fail saying client version is greater than server version.
# To avoid this use, dvm

# to list available docker versions
dvm list

# to install docker version 1.11.1
docker install 1.11.1

# Note: dvm is not installed properly. After lot of struggle hardcoded the dvm helper path and made it work.
# 1. dvm_helper path is hard coded
# 2. cd -q option is changed to cd in dvm.sh file (ie., removed the DVM_OPTS flag)
