1. 介绍
Minikube是Kubernetes社区维护的单机版的Kubernetes集群工具，帮助Kubernetes新手和开发者快速建立本地的Kubernetes集群,降低Kubernetes学习成本。
在Kubernetes文档中也首推开发者使用Minikube进行学习使用，见：https://kubernetes.io/zh/docs/tutorials/hello-minikube/
Minikube官网链接： https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io
以下是在本地Linux虚拟机中搭建成功的结果示例：

* Updating the running docker "minikube" container ...
* 正在 Docker 20.10.0 中准备 Kubernetes v1.19.4…
* Verifying Kubernetes components...
* Enabled addons: storage-provisioner, default-storageclass, dashboard
* Done! kubectl is now configured to use "minikube" cluster and "default" namespace by default

虽然Minikube官方文档很完善，但是还是会让第一次使用的人摸不着头脑。希望这篇简单的文章可以帮助你绕过弯路初窥Kubernetes的真容。
如果文中出现错误或者有更好的方案，欢迎评论交流。
2. 安装
本文默认安装环境为：
- Cent OS 7.X+
- Docker 19.0+
其他版本或环境也可以稍作参考，没有安装Docker可以按照Docker官方文档的步骤安装Docker：https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/
2.1 Minikube
首先从官网选择合适的版本下载Minikube，地址：https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/，这里建议用讯雷或者其他工具下载
上传到服务器，我这里选择了二进制文件进行安装，所以按照文档执行命令：sudo install minikube-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/minikube
[landscape@localhost ~]$ ls
minikube-linux-amd64
[landscape@localhost ~]$ sudo install minikube-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/minikube
[landscape@localhost ~]$ minikube start
* Centos 7.8.2003 上的 minikube v1.17.0
* minikube 1.17.1 is available! Download it: https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases/tag/v1.17.1
* To disable this notice, run: 'minikube config set WantUpdateNotification false'
* 根据现有的配置文件使用 docker 驱动程序
* Starting control plane node minikube in cluster minikube
* Pulling base image ...
到这里继续按照官方文档的步骤直接执行minikube start大概率是没用的，minikube会从谷歌镜像仓库下载所需镜像，可能是用法网络等原因，按照阿里云社区这篇文档的步骤进行依旧无法使用：https://developer.aliyun.com/article/221687。
然后一直卡住,最终下载以失败告终，如下：
[landscape@localhost ~]$ ./minikube-linux-amd64-ali start --image-mirror-country cn --registry-mirror=https://registry.docker-cn.com
* Centos 7.8.2003 上的 minikube v1.16.0
* 根据现有的配置文件使用 docker 驱动程序
* Starting control plane node minikube in cluster minikube
* Pulling base image ...
E0130 20:58:57.870751 3153 cache.go:180] Error downloading kic artifacts: failed to download kic base image or any fallback image
* Creating docker container (CPUs=2, Memory=2200MB) ...
! StartHost failed, but will try again: creating host: create: creating: setting up container node: preparing volume for minikube container: docker run --rm --entrypoint /usr/bin/test -v minikube:/var kicbase/stable:v0.0.17 -d /var/lib: exit status 125
stdout:
stderr:
Unable to find image 'kicbase/stable:v0.0.17' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: Head https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/kicbase/stable/manifests/v0.0.17: Get https://auth.docker.io/token?scope=repository%3Akicbase%2Fstable%3Apull&service=registry.docker.io: net/http: TLS handshake timeout.

* docker "minikube" container is missing, will recreate.
* Creating docker container (CPUs=2, Memory=2200MB) ...
我们从错误信息中得知minikube拉取的基础镜像是 kicbase/stable:v0.0.17，这里可以在DockerHub中找到镜像 ，如下：
尝试手动拉取镜像：
[landscape@localhost ~]$ docker pull kicbase/stable:v0.0.17
v0.0.17: Pulling from kicbase/stable

网络不好的可以尝试更换版本、开启魔法上网工具，实在不行可以尝试一下其他的备用镜像：
然后使用minikube参数指定你下载的镜像即可启动minikube
[landscape@localhost ~]$ minikube start --base-image="kicbase/stable:v0.0.15-snapshot4" --image-repository='registry.cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/google_containers'
* Centos 7.8.2003 上的 minikube v1.17.0
* 自动选择 docker 驱动

2.2 kubectl(可选)
接下来安装kubectl管理Kubernetes集群，可以直接在Kubernetes官网找到安装命令执行
curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl"
sudo install -o root -g root -m 0755 kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
也将版本号替换到链接中用X雷或者其他工具下载，例如我这里下载的版本是v1.20.2,所以直接下载 https://dl.k8s.io/release/v1.20.2/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl 即可。
3. 启动示例
写入一个简单的Deployment示例：
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: nginx-deployment
spec:
replicas: 3
selector:
matchLabels:
app: nginx
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: nginx
spec:
containers:
- name: mynginx
image: nginx:1.19.6
ports:
- containerPort: 80
创建Deployment：
[landscape@localhost minikube]$ kubectl create -f nginx-deploy.yaml
deployment.apps/nginx-deployment created
[landscape@localhost minikube]$ kubectl get rs
NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AGE
nginx-deployment-bd5567f5b 3 3 0 11s
[landscape@localhost minikube]$ kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
nginx-deployment-bd5567f5b-ctqjb 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 15s
nginx-deployment-bd5567f5b-pzntl 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 15s
nginx-deployment-bd5567f5b-tp8vc 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 15s
这里是一个小坑，Minikube的镜像运行在Docker容器里没有任何配置，即会从官方registry拉取镜像，所以如果像下面一样创建失败了(ImagePullBackOff)也不奇怪
[landscape@localhost minikube]$ kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
nginx-deployment-bd5567f5b-ctqjb 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 11m
nginx-deployment-bd5567f5b-pzntl 0/1 ImagePullBackOff 0 11m
nginx-deployment-bd5567f5b-tp8vc 0/1 ContainerCreating 0 11m
所以进入容器，像配置外部Docker一样配置容器内的镜像加速即可，使用minikube ssh进入容器，然后创建或修改/etc/docker/daemon.json文件，如果不了解的同学按照 阿里云 官方镜像加速这篇文章做就行。
minikube ssh
sudo chmod 777 /etc/docker/ && sudo echo '{"registry-mirrors": ["https://XXXXXXXX.mirror.aliyuncs.com"]}' > /etc/docker/daemon.json
重启minikube，stop + start ，直接start虽然显示update但是没什么用
[landscape@localhost minikube]$ minikube stop
* Stopping node "minikube" ...
* 正在通过 SSH 关闭“minikube”…
* 1 nodes stopped.
[landscape@localhost minikube]$ minikube start
* Centos 7.8.2003 上的 minikube v1.17.0
* 根据现有的配置文件使用 docker 驱动程序
* Starting control plane node minikube in cluster minikube
* Restarting existing docker container for "minikube" ...
! This container is having trouble accessing https://registry.cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/google_containers
* To pull new external images, you may need to configure a proxy: https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/reference/networking/proxy/
* 正在 Docker 20.10.0 中准备 Kubernetes v1.20.2…
* Verifying Kubernetes components...
* Enabled addons: default-storageclass, storage-provisioner
* Done! kubectl is now configured to use "minikube" cluster and "default" namespace by default
[landscape@localhost minikube]$ kubectl delete deploy nginx-deployment
deployment.apps "nginx-deployment" deleted
[landscape@localhost minikube]$ kubectl create -f nginx-deploy.yaml
deployment.apps/nginx-deployment created
[landscape@localhost minikube]$ kubectl get rs

pod成功运行，开始有趣的Kubernetes学习之旅吧
