HOWTO: minikube behind a proxy

minikube_proxy

https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube

To get it running behind the a proxy you need to setup things a bit differently from the documentation

1. Ensure that the proxy is passed into the VM that is created by minikube (this ensures that the docker daemon within the VM can get out to the internet)

	minikube start --vm-driver="kvm" --docker-env="http_proxy=xxx" --docker-env="https_proxy=yyy" start

2. Get the IP that the VM gets

	minikube ip

3. Ensure that kubectl can talk to this VM without going the proxy

	export no_proxy="127.0.0.1,[minikube_ip]"

4. Now kick off the POD and test is

	kubectl run hello-minikube --image=gcr.io/google_containers/echoserver:1.4 --port=8080
	kubectl expose deployment hello-minikube --type=NodePort
	kubectl get pod
	curl $(minikube service hello-minikube --url)

5. Cleanup the cluster
	minikube stop
	minikube delete
