This is a fork of the new boot2docker with a Kubernetes variant.
Currently the original boot2docker is still being used in docker-machine, this repository represents the new boot2docker which might be used at some point. It is modified to build a boot2docker variant that we call boot2k8s. This variant installs Kubernetes in this single ISO for testing and development on local machines.
This repository is different from boot2k8s which is a variant of the current boot2docker.
A bit confusing, I know.
This repository is a technical preview only at this point. If you are looking for boot2docker, you can find it at github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker. If you are looking for a docker-machine compatible boot2k8s, you can find it at github.com/skippbox/boot2k8s
This is intended to be used with Docker Machine, but should be mostly usable outside that context as well. Be warned that the largest unformatted disk found during boot will be partitioned and formatted for use unless a partition with the label data is found (which will be used automatically instead).
Run make to build the ISO and make run to start the VM with VirtualBox:
$ make boot2docker-k8s.iso
$ make run
Then make run is a convenience build to create the VM, you could do it manually through the UI, or using the VBoxManage commands:
$ VBoxManage createvm --name boot2k8s --ostype "Linux_64" --register
$ VBoxManage storagectl boot2k8s --name "IDE Controller" --add ide
$ VBoxManage storageattach boot2k8s --storagectl "IDE Controller" --port 0 --device 0 --type dvddrive --medium ./boot2docker-k8s.iso
$ VBoxManage modifyvm boot2k8s --memory 1024
$ VBoxManage startvm boot2k8s --type headless
$ VBoxManage controlvm boot2k8s natpf1 k8s,tcp,,8080,,8080
If you experience problems with this boot2docker variant called boot2k8s or want to suggest improvements please file an issue.
