相比Docker一个二进制文件解决所有问题，Kubernetes则为不同的服务提供了不同的二进制文件，并将一些服务放到了addons中。故而，Kubernetes的部署相对要麻烦的多。借助minikube项目，现在可以很方便的在本机快速启动一个单节点的Kubernetes集群。
安装minikube
minikube最新release版本为v0.8.0，支持Kubernetes v1.3.0到v1.3.5的各个版本，默认启动Kubernetes v1.3.5。
OSX
curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/v0.8.0/minikube-darwin-amd64 && chmod +x minikube && sudo mv minikube /usr/local/bin/
Linux
curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/v0.8.0/minikube-linux-amd64 && chmod +x minikube && sudo mv minikube /usr/local/bin/
Windows
下载https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/v0.8.0/minikube-windows-amd64.exe，并重命名为minikube.exe
minikube支持xhyve(on OSX)、VirtualBox、VMWare Fusion等多种不同的driver，这些driver也需要单独安装，比如在OSX上安装xhyve driver:
brew install docker-machine-driver-xhyve
# docker-machine-driver-xhyve need root owner and uid
sudo chown root:wheel $(brew --prefix)/opt/docker-machine-driver-xhyve/bin/docker-machine-driver-xhyve
sudo chmod u+s $(brew --prefix)/opt/docker-machine-driver-xhyve/bin/docker-machine-driver-xhyve
另外，还需要安装一个kubectl客户端，用来跟kubernetes交互：
gcloud components install kubectl
启动Kubernetes Cluster
启动Kubernetes Cluster就非常简单了，一个命令即可：
$ minikube start
Starting local Kubernetes cluster...
Kubectl is now configured to use the cluster.
当然了，国内环境下，最好加上代理：
minikube start --docker-env HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy-ip:port --docker-env HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy-ip:port
然后就可以通过kubectl来玩Kubernetes了，比如启动一个简单的nginx服务：
$ kubectl run nginx --image=nginx --port=80
deployment "nginx" created
$ kubectl expose deployment nginx --port=80 --type=NodePort --name=nginx-http
service "nginx-http" exposed
$ kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
nginx-2032906785-81t56 1/1 Running 0 2m
$ kubectl get services
NAME CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
kubernetes 10.0.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 20m
nginx-http 10.0.0.146 <none> 80/TCP 2m
$ minikube service nginx-http --url
http://192.168.64.10:30569
这样就可以通过http://192.168.64.10:30569来直接访问nginx服务。
minikube默认还部署了最新的dashboard，可以通过minikube dashboard命令在默认浏览器中打开：
更多的玩法可以参考minikube的帮助文档：
Usage:
minikube [command]
Available Commands:
dashboard Opens/displays the kubernetes dashboard URL for your local cluster
delete Deletes a local kubernetes cluster.
docker-env sets up docker env variables; similar to '$(docker-machine env)'
get-k8s-versions Gets the list of available kubernetes versions available for minikube.
ip Retrieve the IP address of the running cluster.
logs Gets the logs of the running localkube instance, used for debugging minikube, not user code.
service Gets the kubernetes URL for the specified service in your local cluster
ssh Log into or run a command on a machine with SSH; similar to 'docker-machine ssh'
start Starts a local kubernetes cluster.
status Gets the status of a local kubernetes cluster.
stop Stops a running local kubernetes cluster.
version Print the version of minikube.
