Installing minikube using xhyve driver

minikube.md

###Install docker-machine-driver-xhyve docker-machine-driver-xhyve is a docker machine driver plugin for xhyve native OS X Hypervisor. xhyve is a lightweight OS X virtualization solution. In my opinion, it's a far better option than virtualbox for running minikube. ####Brew On MacOS sierra, download latest using

brew install docker-machine-driver-xhyve --HEAD
sudo chown root:wheel $(brew --prefix)/opt/docker-machine-driver-xhyve/bin/docker-machine-driver-xhyve
sudo chmod u+s $(brew --prefix)/opt/docker-machine-driver-xhyve/bin/docker-machine-driver-xhyve

####Build from source

go get -u -d github.com/zchee/docker-machine-driver-xhyve
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/zchee/docker-machine-driver-xhyve

# just in case
git submodule update --init

# build and install 
make install
# or if want verbose
make install V=1

###Install minikube OSX

curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/v0.12.0/minikube-darwin-amd64 && chmod +x minikube && sudo mv minikube /usr/local/bin/

###Start Minikube

minikube start --memory=2048 --vm-driver=xhyve

#To debug you can start minikube using:
minikube start --v=5 --logtostderr --show-libmachine-logs --vm-driver=xhyve

After starting, wait a few seconds for minikube to stabilize before running any kubectl command. If you try running immediately, you might run into error: You must be logged in to the server (the server has asked for the client to provide credentials) error.

Nice gist.

I'm having a small issue when I try to start minikube on Mac Pro running Sierra 10.12.3

Here's an excerpt of the logs:

...
(minikube) DBG | Not there yet 1/60, error: IP not found for MAC  in DHCP leases
...

I simply cannot get an IP

Having the same problem - did you find a fix?

Running xhyve directly through docker machine works fine...

When starting up minikube, the following is required now (background)
minikube start --v=10 --vm-driver=xhyve

xhyve being deprecated for hyperkit.

whats wrong with xhyve?

Doesn't seem like anything is wrong with xhyve. Hyperkit includes xhyve and it seems it is a more maintained or developer friendly approach to include xhyve.

minikube start --vm-driver hyperkit
Starting local Kubernetes cluster...

An error has occurred. Would you like to opt in to sending anonymized crash
information to minikube to help prevent future errors?
To opt out of these messages, run the command:
minikube config set WantReportErrorPrompt false

minikube config set vm-driver hyperkit
[Driver hyperkit is not supported]

xhyve was deprecated in minikube 1.13, in favor of hyperkit.
