To start the Kubernetes cluster with a specific version using minikube, run the command: $ minikube start --kubernetes-version=v1.19.2 Setting the default kubectl context to minikube i.e. kubectl config use-context minikube

The status of the minikube cluster can be determined by running: $ minikube statushost: Running kubelet: Running apiserver: Running kubectl: Correctly Configured: pointing to minikube-vm at 192.168.99.100 And to confirm the kubectl context, the command is: $ kubectl config current-context minikube

The docker command line in the host machine can be configured to utilize the docker daemon within minikube by running: $ eval $(minikube docker-env)

To confirm: $ docker info | grep Name Name: minikube ehsan@ehsan-desktop:~/django_with_k8s$ cat Dockerfile FROM python:3 ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 WORKDIR /code COPY requirements.txt /code/ RUN pip install -r requirements.txt COPY . /code/ CMD python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 docker build -t k8_django_minikube:1.0 . kubectl run kubernetes-django --image=k8_django_minikube –port=8000
