From ArchWiki

Minikube lets you quickly setup a local Kubernetes cluster. It supports the use of Virtual Machines, containers and even bare metal as its driver.

## Installation

Install minikube or minikube-gitAUR for those that prefer the latest development version.

## Usage

### QEMU

To use minikube with QEMU, the following packages are required:

- minikube
- libvirt
- qemu-desktop
- dnsmasq
- iptables-nft

Additionally the current user needs to be in the `libvirt` user group.

Start the `libvirtd.service` unit and check its unit status for any issues.

Then set the kvm2 provider in minikube:

    $ minikube config set driver kvm2

And start it:

    $ minikube start

### Rootless Docker

See Docker#Rootless Docker daemon for docker setup.

Configure Internet sharing#Enable packet forwarding to allow outbound network requests from pods.

Start minikube:

    $ minikube start --driver=docker --container-runtime=containerd

Test network:

    $ kubectl run -it --rm --restart=Never --image alpine tmp -- sh
    > ping 1.1.1.1
    > ping archlinux.org
    > ping host.minikube.internal

### Rootless Podman

See Podman#Rootless Podman for rootless Podman setup.

Configure minikube before starting it:

    $ minikube config set rootless true
    $ minikube config set driver podman
    $ minikube config set container-runtime cri-o

Start minikube:

    $ minikube start
