I love the suggestion for new users to try minikube. I got started with minikube and kubernetes recently and it was only then when I had an aha moment with containers. I get it now. I know containers have been around a while but with kubernetes the orchestration difficulty has been lowered to the point where I can't imagine going back to the way I was getting things working before. From minikube I moved to kubernetes on GCE, and it mostly just worked. I still use minikube for my local dev environment.

brew cask install minikube

brew install kubectl

Then follow the tutorial https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube#quickstart

Other installers that minikube has:

- Arch linux AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/minikube/

- Windows installer https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases/download/v0....

- Deb package https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases/download/v0....

Why does this process involve curl getting from images.rcs.realclearpolitics.com?

[rckrd]

Something is not right on your machine. You can see what the homebrew recipe is doing here:

Maybe it's Little Snitch getting confused.

ps. images.rcw..... not images.rcs..

Thanks for the quick tip! Might I suggest you change that first line to `brew cask install minikube virtualbox`?

brew install docker-machine-driver-xhyve is a friendly laptop choice.

[hackerboos]

Yeah. Forgot to mention I had Docker for Mac already installed.

Yes minikube rocks. It essentially fulfills the dream promised but poorly delivered by Docker Compose - a development environment as similar as possible to production.
