2018-09-20 - How to install Kubernetes on Windows 10
This is hopefully easy for you to do, but it depends on how much of a snowflake your laptop/PC is. Meaning, the newer the PC and fresher install, the easier it is.
Requirements:
- Windows 10 64bit Pro, Enterprise and Education (1607 Anniversary Update, Build 14393 or later).
TL;TR; (or the hard way)
Do this:
https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/
https://store.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-windows
- Click on the "Get Docker" button, or get it directly: https://download.docker.com/win/stable/Docker%20for%20Windows%20Installer.exe
- If you don't have a Docker account, Docker require you to make one before providing the download link.
The installer will set everything up for you including enabling Hyper-V and stuff. Hopefully you don't need to enable Hyper-V from bios as well.
After install you will see a whale in the taskbar:
- Right-Click and select Settings
- Select Settings => Kubernetes
- #1: Check "Enable Kubernetes"
- #2: Select "Kubernetes"
- #3 Check "Show system containers"
- Click on "Apply"
Now you should be ready to deploy your first Kubernetes Container!
The hard way (Troubleshooting)
If you have an existing installation, first make a Factory Reset via Settings => Reset => Factory ResetAfter installation, you need to configure a bit:- Select "Expose daemon..".
Share all drives and touch Apply. Create local admin if your Domain user is not working:
If Docker does not start up on the first try, you can:- Restart PC a few times
- Run "Settings => Reset => Factory Reset". Then restart your PC.
