# Set up a Minikube cluster
## Prerequisites
- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/)
- [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/)
- [Minikube](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/)
> Note: For Windows, enable Virtualization in BIOS and [install Hyper-V](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/quick-start/enable-hyper-v)
## Start the Minikube cluster
1. (optional) Set the default VM driver
```bash
minikube config set vm-driver [driver_name]
```
> Note: See [DRIVERS](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/reference/drivers/) for details on supported drivers and how to install plugins.
2. Start the cluster
Use 1.13.x or newer version of Kubernetes with `--kubernetes-version`
```bash
minikube start --cpus=4 --memory=4096 --kubernetes-version=1.16.2 --extra-config=apiserver.authorization-mode=RBAC
```
3. Enable dashboard and ingress addons
```bash
# Enable dashboard
minikube addons enable dashboard
# Enable ingress
minikube addons enable ingress
```
## (optional) Install Helm and deploy Tiller
1. [Install Helm client](https://helm.sh/docs/using_helm/#installing-the-helm-client)
> **Note:** [1.16.x Kubernetes doesn't work with helm < 2.16.0, so use latest version of Helm](https://github.com/helm/helm/issues/6374#issuecomment-537185486)
2. Create the Tiller service account
```bash
kubectl create serviceaccount -n kube-system tiller
kubectl create clusterrolebinding tiller-cluster-rule --clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=kube-system:tiller
```
3. Install Tiller to the minikube
```bash
helm init --service-account tiller --history-max 200
```
4. Ensure that Tiller is deployed and running
```bash
kubectl get pods -n kube-system
```
### Troubleshooting
1. If Tiller is not running properly, get the logs from `tiller-deploy` deployment to understand the problem:
```bash
kubectl describe deployment tiller-deploy --namespace kube-system
```
2. The external IP address of load balancer is not shown from `kubectl get svc`
In Minikube, EXTERNAL-IP in `kubectl get svc` shows `<pending>` state for your service. In this case, you can run `minikube service [service_name]` to open your service without external IP address.
```
$ kubectl get svc
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
...
calculator-front-end LoadBalancer 10.103.98.37 <pending> 80:30534/TCP 25h
calculator-front-end-dapr ClusterIP 10.107.128.226 <none> 80/TCP,50001/TCP 25h
...
$ minikube service calculator-front-end
