Trying to learn more about Kubernetes I tried to install a standalone instance. If you try to run minikube it suggest to use snap.

sudo snap install minikube kubectl

• 
  snap info minikube
  
  

  
  

  Minikube is a tool that makes it easy to run Kubernetes locally. Minikube
  runs a single-node Kubernetes cluster inside a VM on your laptop for users
  looking to try out Kubernetes or develop with it day-to-day.

  
  

  
  


• 
  snap info kubectl
  
  

  
  

  kubectl is a command line interface for running commands against Kubernetes

  
  

  
  

But that let me with this error:

$ minikube start 
There is a newer version of minikube available (v0.32.0). Download it here:
https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases/tag/v0.32.0 
To disable this notification, add WantUpdateNotification: False to the json config file at /home/pablo/snap/minikube/4/.minikube/config
(you may have to create the file config.json in this folder if you have no previous configuration)

I tried:

• Almost all suggestions on Github issues: 278, 867, 927, 2294, 2424.


• Installing (already there) libvirt-bin (libvirt-clients libvirt-daemon)


• sudo virsh -c qemu:///system net-start default

Maybe not ready for prime time?

I finally found a working solution removing the snap package and then following one of the official guides keeping kubectl:

curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 
&& sudo install minikube-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/minikube

Tested with kubectl version and

$ kubectl get nodes
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
minikube Ready master 25m v1.12.4

To run the dashboard just

minikube dashboard

I wonder what other people say about:

• Installing with LXD
