Switching the Minikube profile does automatically switch the k8s context, and vice versa (v1.2.0 - 2019-06-24)

#Switch minikube profile
$ minikube profile minikube #switch to profile: minikube
✅  minikube profile was successfully set to minikube

#Switch kubectl context
$ kubectl config set-context minikube
Context "minikube" modified.

Clean up if needed

minikube delete -p <profile>
kubectl config delete-context <context-name>
kubectl config delete-context <delete-cluster>

Loadbalancer - minikube tunnel

A LoadBalancer service is the standard way to expose a service to the internet. With this method, each service gets it’s own IP address. In minikube services of type LoadBalancer can be exposed via the minikube tunnel command. It will run until Ctrl-C is hit.


minikube tunnel runs as a separate daemon, creating a network route on the host to the service CIDR of the cluster using the cluster’s IP address as a gateway. The tunnel command exposes the external IP directly to any program running on the host operating system. The low-level commands used to manage routes are /sbin/ip,/sbin/route that optionally can be added to suedors file to make a life a little easier.

minikube tunnel --cleanup


Avoid to typing password for minikube tunnel, by allowing a group or user to execute ip, route commands without asking for password. Example for Ubuntu 18.04 can be seen below.

$ sudo visudo
...
# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
%admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/ip,/sbin/route  # <- add this line in this order
...

multi node cluster with kvm

This is now supported natively using --nodes flag:

minikube start --profile minikube-v1.14.9 --nodes=2  --kubernetes-version v1.14.9
minikube ssh   --profile minikube-v1.14.9 --node=m02

Nodes names have following naming convention

  • node-1-name: minikube-v1.14.9
  • node-2-name: minikube-v1.14.9-m02
