Minishift - OKD

Minishift is the single node version of OpenShift container platform that you can run locally. Reference

Install

https://docs.okd.io/latest/minishift/getting-started/index.html I've personally tested this in Ubuntu and Mac OS. Not sure about Windows 10.

Getting started

1. Create a profile and install few addons before running Minishft

   • Decide on a profile name usually a project name. In this example I'm using the name "anair" and using Minishift to run in v3.11

        minishift profile set anair && minishift config set memory 4GB && minishift config set openshift-version v3.11.0 && minishift config set network-nameserver 8.8.8.8 && minishift addon enable anyuid && minishift addon enable admin-user
     

2. Start Minishift with Openshift v3.11

    minishift start --profile anair
    # Wait for few minutes till you get OpenShift server started.
    
    The server is accessible via web console at:
        https://IP address:8443
    
    You are logged in as:
        User:     developer
        Password: <any value>
    
    To login as administrator:
        oc login -u system:admin
    
    # Add OC client
    minishift oc-env && eval $(minishift oc-env)
    
    # Add minishift VM docker daemon access
    minishift docker-env && eval $(minishift docker-env) && docker ps
    
    # Login as admin through OC
    oc login -u admin
   

3. Login as admin/admin in the web ui

4. Create a Project and deploy a sample docker image

    # Create new project "anair-app"
    oc new-project anair-app
    
    # Login to minishift docker registry
    docker login -u $(oc whoami) -p $(oc whoami -t) $(minishift openshift registry)
    
    # Run the following commands that will run against minishift docker environment. Assuming a new zookeeper docker file is in your local
    docker build -t anair/zookeeper:3.4.10-1 .
    docker tag [TAG_NUMBER] 172.30.1.1:5000/anair-app/zookeeper
    
    # This will push the custom zookeeper image to "anair-app" openshift project image stream
    docker push 172.30.1.1:5000/anair-app/zookeeper
    
    # Verify image stream
    oc get istag
   

5. Stop minishift VM after use minishift stop
