Navigate to the Kubernetes tab, and check the Enable Kubernetes checkbox. When it’s installed, you get a little docker icon in your taskbar. It’s available for both Windows and macOS. If you don’t have Docker Desktop installed, you can get it on Docker Hub. But coincidentally I listened to the Minikube episode of the Kubernetes Podcast, where they mentioned that you can run Minikube Kubernetes through Docker Desktop.
When Minikube came to my attention, I decided to try again.Īs a Mac user, I tried to install it via Homebrew, but hit some issues. I’ve also been trying to get into Kubernetes, but have hit some hurdles every time. I’ve been tinkering with containers, and run docker on my home server. Nabheet Madan has released a great blog series about using UI5 with Kubernetes( 1, 2, 3), using Minikube. So keep that in mind, whenever I mention Minikube in the context of Docker desktop.So the title of this post should be something like “Run Kubernetes from Docker Desktop, similar to Minikube”. While Docker desktop runs a Kubernetes single node cluster like Minikube, it does not actually run Minikube. Update : I got message today on LinkedIn, where I was made aware that I’m a bit inaccurate in this blog post.
