# Running a Kubernetes cluster
|
|
|
|
This tutorial covers the following end-to-end tasks required to run a Kubernetes cluster with the help of an extension:
|
|
|
|
- Installing the extension
|
|
- Installing CLI on your local machine
|
|
- Applicable on Windows: Configure Podman on WSL
|
|
- Creating and running a Kubernetes cluster
|
|
|
|
You can use extensions, such as Kind and Minikube to start a local Kubernetes development cluster. When you have a running Kubernetes cluster, you can easily develop and test Kubernetes applications before deploying them to production. This tutorial focuses on creating a Kubernetes cluster using the Minikube extension.
|
|
|
|
## Before you begin
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have:
|
|
|
|
- [Installed Podman Desktop](/docs/installation).
|
|
- [A running Podman machine](/docs/podman/creating-a-podman-machine).
|
|
- A developer role.
|
|
|
|
## Installing the extension
|
|
|
|
1. Go to **Extensions > Catalog**.
|
|
2. Find the Minikube extension using the search box.
|
|
3. Click the **Install** icon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Select the **Installed** tab to check the Minikube extension is active.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installing CLI on your local machine
|
|
|
|
1. Click the **Minikube not found on your system** icon in the status bar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Click **Yes** to download the Minikube binary.
|
|
3. Click **Yes** to install the binary system-wide for accessibility on the command line.
|
|
4. Enter your system password, if prompted. A notification of successful operation opens.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Click **OK**.
|
|
6. Check the **Minikube not found on your system** icon disappears from the status bar.
|
|
|
|
## Applicable on Windows: Configure Podman on WSL
|
|
|
|
To use the Minikube tool on Windows, you must have a Podman machine running in rootful mode.
|
|
|
|
- By default, the Podman Desktop **Settings** enable you to create a Podman machine that runs in rootful mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Creating and running a Kubernetes cluster
|
|
|
|
1. Go to **Settings > Resources**.
|
|
2. In the Minikube tile, click **Create new**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Optional: Edit the cluster configuration, if required.
|
|
|
|
4. Click **Create**. A notification of successful operation opens.
|
|
5. Click **Go back to resources**.
|
|
6. View that your Minikube cluster is running and a new minikube context is added in the status bar.
