Run command on Minikube startup


I'm using Minikube for working with Kubernetes on my local machine, and would like to run a command on the VM just after startup (preferably before the Pods start). I can run it manually with minikube ssh, but that's a bit of a pain to do after every restart, and is difficult to wrap in a script.

Is there an easy way to do this?

The command in my case is this, so that paths on the VM match paths on my host machine:

sudo mount --bind /hosthome/<user> /home/<user>

Solution

  • Maybe flags which can you pass to minikube start would be useful in your case:

      --mount                          This will start the mount daemon and automatically mount files into minikube
      --mount-string string            The argument to pass the minikube mount command on start (default "/home/user:/minikube-host")
    

    Edit: Maybe you could write script for starting your minikube like:

    minikube start && ssh -t -i ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/id_rsa docker@$(minikube ip) "sudo mount --bind /hosthome/<user> /home/<user>"
    

    that will start minikube and issue bind command using SSH after start
