--container-runtime=docker \
--cpus='2' --memory='4g' \
--disk-size=30Gi \
--network-plugin=cni --cni calico \

Point your shell to minikube's docker-daemon

eval $(minikube -p minikube docker-env)

Setup local-path-provisioner:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rancher/local-path-provisioner/v0.0.22/deploy/local-path-storage.yaml

Verify setup by spinning up a docker-compose stack

git clone https://github.com/docker/awesome-compose.git
cd awesome-compose/nginx-flask-mongo
docker-compose up

$ minikube ip
