The cluster of OKD (OpenShift Origin) 3.11 is installed on the company server. This machine wants to install a simple version for debugging.

The machine is Windows 10. The steps are as follows:

  1. Download and install VirtualBox, version greater than 5.1.12. Address: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds I choose is 5.2.8.
  2. At https://github.com/minishift/minishift/releases to download to install minishift version. I chose this one: minishift-1.34.2- Windows-amd64.zip

  3. Unzip the downloaded MiniShift to a directory on disk C, start CMD, and run it in the directory:

    C:\minishift start --logtostderr --vm-driver=virtualbox

    The network checks to see if the version number exists. If, for some unknown reason, you are prompted to connect to api.github.com… If you fail, try a few more times (dozens) or adopt a more scientific approach to the Internet.

  4. After the connection is successful, the download of the OC and the virtual machine image will begin. These two steps can be extremely slow. Please pay attention to this step and finish the process first. Directly provide download path and place path here: a. oc client for windows https://github.com/openshift/origin/releases/download/v3.11.0/openshift-origin-client-tools-v3.11.0-0cbc58b-windows.zip After downloading, unzip it to %homepath%\.minishift\cache\oc\v3.11.0\Windows. b. centos7 iso: https://github.com/minishift/minishift-centos-iso/releases/download/v1.16.0/minishift-centos7.iso %homepath%\.minishift\cache\iso\ centOS \v1.16.0. Execute again:

    C:\minishift start --logtostderr --vm-driver=virtualbox

    If you are prompted to say Host does not exist, delete the virtual machine and try again. Delete virtual machine command:

    C:\minishift delete
  5. Then you can reference documents: https://docs.okd.io/3.11/minishift/using/basic-usage.html pleasant to play.
