I am getting unknown image flag when creating a deployment using minikube on windows 10 cmd. Why?
C:\WINDOWS\system32>minikube kubectl create deployment nginxdepl --image=nginx
Error: unknown flag: --image
See 'minikube kubectl --help' for usage.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>
When using kubectl bundled with minikube the command is little different.
From the documentation, your command should be:
minikube kubectl -- create deployment nginxdepl --image=nginx
The difference is the -- right after kubectl
there problem is your command. you are mixing kubectl and minikube.
minikube is for managing your one-node local dev cluster.
kubectl is used for interacting with your cluster.
you should be using the following command:
kubectl create deployment nginxdepl --image nginx

I am trying to create a deployment using its deployment yaml file in minikube.
I have saved the deployment file locally.Please share the minikube kubectl command to create the deployment from the yaml file.
Using native kubectl client you do this with the kubectl apply command and pass the --filename flag followed by the name of your yaml-file.
Example:
kubectl apply --filename my-deployment.yaml
When using minikube kubectl you prepend kubectl commands with minikube and pass the command name after --, e.g.
minikube kubectl -- apply --filename my-deployment.yaml
I installed minikube in Windows 10 . I am able to start minikube
**C:\WINDOWS\system32>minikube start
* minikube v1.15.1 on Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 10.0.18363 Build 18363
* Using the hyperv driver based on existing profile
* Starting control plane node minikube in cluster minikube
* Restarting existing hyperv VM for "minikube" ...
* Preparing Kubernetes v1.19.4 on Docker 19.03.13 ...
* Verifying Kubernetes components...
* Enabled addons: storage-provisioner, default-storageclass
* kubectl not found. If you need it, try: 'minikube kubectl -- get pods -A'
* Done! kubectl is now configured to use "minikube" cluster and "default" namespace by default**
But there is a warning in above output ( 2nd last line ) says
kubectl not found. If you need it, try: 'minikube kubectl -- get pods -A'
After that I executed this command too minikube kubectl -- get pods -A
Still getting below error while trying kubectl
C:\WINDOWS\system32>kubectl
'kubectl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Minikube installs kubectl inside of itself.
So to use the kubectl which you installed via minikube, you have to prepend the command arguments with minikube kubectl --. For example:
# the same as `kubectl version --client`
minikube kubectl -- version --client
For convenience, you may want to add an alias in your shell configuration.
Source: https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/handbook/kubectl/
kubectl is wrapped around minikube.
Don't forget to add a -- after minikube kubectl
minikube kubectl -- describe pod kube-scheduler-minikube --namespace kube-system
minikube kubectl -- get pods --namespace kube-system
You have installed minikube, kubectl is not a part of minikube package.
It says when you do minikube start that kubectl is not present and if you need to you can use minikube kubectl instead.
This is also mentioned here
If you already have kubectl installed, you can now use it to access your shiny new cluster
It means that the kubectl might not be present on your machine or that it is not added to your PATH.
You can follow these instructions to install it either by downloading executable or by using curl:
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.19.0/bin/windows/amd64/kubectl.exe
After that add the binary to PATH.
You can run kubectl version --client to ensure correct version is downloaded.
Use doskey.exe to create an alias for kubectl.
Example:
doskey kubectl="%PROGRAMFILES%\Kubernetes\Minikube\minikube.exe" kubectl -- $*
You might need to update the path if you've installed minikube somewhere else.
When I use the kubectl run command instead of creating a deployment it creates a pod/selenium-node-chrome and as a result, I am unable to scale the selenium-node-chrome using the replicas command.
PS C:\Users\Test> kubectl run selenium-node-chrome --image selenium/node-chrome:latest --env="HUB_PORT_4444_TCP_ADDR=selenium-hub" --env="HUB_PORT_4444_TCP_PORT=4444"
pod/selenium-node-chrome created
PS C:\Users\Test> kubectl scale deployment selenium-node-chrome --replicas=5
Error from server (NotFound): deployments.extensions "selenium-node-chrome" not found
The video tutorial that I followed successfully created deployment "selenium-node-chrome" after running the same command. Please I need help and I am new to Kubernetes. Thanks.
You should use a generator
kubectl run selenium-node-chrome \
--image selenium/node-chrome:latest \
--env="HUB_PORT_4444_TCP_ADDR=selenium-hub" \
--env="HUB_PORT_4444_TCP_PORT=4444" \
--generator=deployment/apps.v1beta1
https://v1-17.docs.kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/conventions/#generators
All generators are deprecated in Kubernetes version 1.18. From the docs here
Note: All kubectl generators are deprecated. See the Kubernetes v1.17
documentation for a list of generators and how they were used.
You can use kubectl create deployment my-dep --image=busybox to create a deployment.
Also to create a yaml file use kubectl create deployment my-dep --image=busybox --dry-run=client -o yaml > deployment.yaml and then edit the yaml file to add env or any other details and apply the yaml via kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml
I'm using Mac OS for development environment.
If I install minikube, the kubectl will use the local cluster made by minikube as a default option. I found I can use kubectl command with minikube prefix - just like below:
$ minikube kubectl get pods
So I tried it, and kubectl download process began. So I can get that the kubectl in my Mac and the kubectl in minikube is not identical. But what does thie mean?
It's just a wrapper for kubectl, downloading it when not installed, otherwise executing the client.
See the command with '--help' below.
$ minikube kubectl --help
Run the kubernetes client, download it if necessary.
Usage:
minikube kubectl [flags]
Flags:
-h, --help help for kubectl

new to calico, trying to secure Kubernetes cluster using calico.
I have installed kubectl using command curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl referring the docs here.
I tried to install Calico Kubernetes NetworkPolicy using kubectl commands by refereeing here : kubectl create ns policy-demo creating namespace
This is then followed by creating nginx pod and services:
kubectl run --namespace=policy-demo nginx --replicas=2 --image=nginx
kubectl expose --namespace=policy-demo deployment nginx --port=80
Now, I want to uninstall and remove the policy-demo and namespace from the system.
Is there is ant way I can do it and remove this from my system using command?
How can I uninstall and remove the policy-demo?
There is a simple way of doing it.
You just need to use kubectl delete ns policy-demo to remove, clean and will delete the policy-demo namespace from the system using kubectl command.
It is already mentioned here in the end of the document: https://docs.projectcalico.org/v2.6/getting-started/kubernetes/tutorials/simple-policy
