How to setup and install minikube on Fedora 32
Test Environment
Fedora 32 installed
Procedure
Step1: Download and install the Minikube Package
As a first step download the minikube package and install the binary.
$ curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64
$ sudo install minikube-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/minikube
Step2: Start the Minikube cluster
Try to start the minikube cluster.
$ minikube start
😄 minikube v1.20.0 on Fedora 32
👎 Unable to pick a default driver. Here is what was considered, in preference order:
▪ vmware: Not installed: exec: "docker-machine-driver-vmware": executable file not found in $PATH
▪ docker: Not installed: exec: "docker": executable file not found in $PATH
▪ kvm2: Not installed: exec: "virsh": executable file not found in $PATH
▪ none: Not installed: exec: "docker": executable file not found in $PATH
▪ podman: Not healthy: "sudo -k -n podman version --format {{.Version}}" exit status 1: sudo: a password is required
▪ virtualbox: Not installed: unable to find VBoxManage in $PATH
❌ Exiting due to DRV_NOT_DETECTED: No possible driver was detected. Try specifying --driver, or see https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/
As shown above minikube is unable to detect the appropriate drive to launch itself.
Step3: Install and Configure Docker
Lets try to install docker and configure it to use for containers.
$ sudo dnf -y install dnf-plugins-core
$ sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/fedora/docker-ce.repo
$ sudo dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
$ sudo systemctl start docker
$ sudo groupadd docker
$ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
Step4: Start Minikube cluster with Docker driver
Now, lets start the minikube again with Docker as a driver to launch the minikube container in docker.
$ minikube start --driver=docker
😄 minikube v1.20.0 on Fedora 32
✨ Using the docker driver based on user configuration
👍 Starting control plane node minikube in cluster minikube

Verify the docker minikube container is up and running.
$ docker ps -a

Step5: Install kubectl client tool for cluster management
We can install kubectl client to manage the minikube single node cluster.
Add the following kubernetes repository.
File: /etc/yum.repos.d/kubernetes.repo
[kubernetes]
name=Kubernetes
baseurl=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/repos/kubernetes-el7-x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/yum-key.gpg https://packages.cloud.google.com/yum/doc/rpm-package-key.gpg
Install kubectl client tool.
$ sudo dnf -y install kubectl
Step6: Verify the minikube status and cluster pods
Verify the minikube status as shown below.
$ minikube status
minikube
type: Control Plane
host: Running
kubelet: Running
apiserver: Running
kubeconfig: Configured
List the Pods in all namespace with kubectl.
$ kubectl get pods -A
NAMESPACE NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
kube-system coredns-74ff55c5b-5tx8s 1/1 Running 0 59m
kube-system etcd-minikube 1/1 Running 0 59m
kube-system kube-apiserver-minikube 1/1 Running 0 59m
kube-system kube-controller-manager-minikube 1/1 Running 0 59m

kube-system kube-scheduler-minikube 1/1 Running 0 59m
kube-system storage-provisioner 1/1 Running 1 59m
Step7: Access the Kubernetes Dashboard URL
Now, try to launch the minikube dashboard and launch the url.
$ minikube dashboard --url
