-
Ensure hypervisor functionality is enabled in BIOS.
- I know it sounds stupid, but if you already have it enabled, disable it, restart the machine, and enable it again.
- Otherwise you will hit microsoft/WSL#5363
-
Launch a PowerShell prompt in Administrator mode [Win+X > Windows PowerShell (Admin)]
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
-
Install the Linux kernel update package and install it
-
Restart machine
-
Launch a PowerShell prompt in Administrator mode [Win+X > Windows PowerShell (Admin)]
wsl --set-default-version 2
-
Install Ubuntu Linux distribution of your choice from the Windows Store (not the one with the version in the names)
-
Verify WSL version is set correctly
wsl --list --verbose
- Run series of commands to get right build of Docker installed
- Removes the old crap, gets the dependencies right, adds Docker key, adds Docker repo, installs the new hotness
sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install \
apt-transport-https \
ca-certificates \
curl \
gnupg-agent \
software-properties-common
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository \
"deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
$(lsb_release -cs) \
stable"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io -y
- Run series of commands to ensure you can interact with Docker without root
- Third command here is a trick to reload your profile without actually logging out
- Closing out Ubuntu shell and starting over instead of third command is an option
sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}
su -s ${USER}
- Test the Docker configuration
sudo service docker start
docker run hello-world
If you have issues with the docker run hello-world command, see the troubleshooting.md on this gist.
- Install Minikube
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube_latest_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./minikube_latest_amd64.deb -y
rm minikube_latest_amd64.deb
- Start it
minikube start
- Get the dashboard going
- The dashboard will continue to run and does not return back to a prompt here
- You will need to kill the dashboard to continue in the guide
minikube dashboard
- Open the dashboard in your favorite browser (in Windows)
- Port is dynamic, so can't document it well - you'll just have to be good at reading directions
- The port will be in output of step 3 command
- Should look something like this...
http://127.0.0.1:[PORT GOES HERE]/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/http:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/#/workloads?namespace=default
- This process is going to block you from the finishing this guide, but to keep it running, do the following...
- Perform "CTRL+Z" on the keyboard to send the process into paused state
- Execute the following command to resume the paused process in the background

- Install Kubectl
- Adds k8s key, adds k8s repo, installs the new hotness
curl -s https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://apt.kubernetes.io/ kubernetes-xenial main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubernetes.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y kubectl
- Use it
kubectl get po -A
- Install Helm
curl --output helm-linux-amd64.tar.gz https://get.helm.sh/helm-v3.4.2-linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -zxvf helm-linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv linux-amd64/helm /usr/local/bin/helm
rm helm-linux-amd64.tar.gz
rm -rf linux-amd64
- Use it
helm version
This sounds like an issue with a Linux kernel upgrade and the VirtualBox kernel driver not existing for the version of kernel you're running.
Although, I'm not sure how you would be getting this unless you're attempting to run VirtualBox from within the WSL environment. This should be possible in the latest versions of WSL2, but not sure why you'd be doing this - unless you're using Vagrant?
