Todays task

Set up a Kubernetes cluster on our local machine and deploy a node web server in it.

Prerequisites

You'll need:

• VirtualBox
• Docker
• Kubernetes CLI tools
• minikube

Below is how I did it on my Macs, but because development is development, it will only work on yours if you are lucky as hell.

1. Installed VirtualBox

2. Installed Xcode developer tools (these are needed for all kinds of dev tasks)

xcode-select --install

3. Installed Docker

4. Installed minikube (this should also automatically install the Kubernetes Command Line Interface)

brew cask install minikube

• Run Minikube for the first time to download it and make sure it works. THIS WILL TAKE AGES

minikube start
