A procedure to install minishift on Fedora?


This nice article describe very well how to install minishift on Windows, MacOS and RHEL: Hello World!

Unfortunately, there is no procedure for Fedora, can you provide some guidelines?


Solution

  • It is possible to download the CDK (minishift) binary directly from download page. You just need to be registered.

    Next, you should configure your system environment (ie. set up hypervisor driver), take a look here.

    Make the downloaded CDK binary executable:

    chmod +x cdk-x.y.z-minishift-linux-amd64
    

    Finally, you can continue with setting up the cdk binary as described in section 2 in Hello World page. Mainly, this is about preparing minishift configuration for proper hypervisor (as user can use more than one):

    ./cdk-x.y.z-minishift-linux-amd64 setup-cdk
    

    or

    ./cdk-x.y.z-minishift-linux-amd64 setup-cdk --default-vm-driver xxx
    

    in case that you are using different than default hypervisor (kvm on linux, could be virtualbox).
