Arch linux minikube kvm2 setup

# Install these packages (use your favorite AUR tool here)
yay -S minikube kubectl docker-machine-driver-kvm2 libvirt qemu-headless ebtables

# Get libvirt going
sudo systemctl enable libvirtd.service
sudo usermod -a -G libvirt $(whoami)

# This fix thanks to http://blog.programmableproduction.com/2018/03/08/Archlinux-Setup-Minikube-using-KVM/
sudo virsh net-autostart default

# Configure minikube to use kvm by default
minikube config set driver kvm2

# Optional - use 1/4 (or you choose fraction) of total memory, default is only 2GB
MEMORY_FRACTION=4
minikube config set memory "$(($(free --mega | head -n2 | tail -n1 | cut -c15-27)/$MEMORY_FRACTION))"

# Restart required here - couldn't get it working just by starting services etc
sudo reboot

# Finally!
minikube start
kubectl cluster-info

# If you hit problems, be sure to run `minikube delete` before retrying

Docker Shim is being deprecated, what is your suggestion going forward?

@Hawaiideveloper that's down to kube default cri (maybe influenced by minikube addons conf etc)
