Use gcr.io and minikube in China.

[WyattJia]

As you know, gcr.io is blocked in China.Here is a solution to reslove this problem.

Summarize how to fix it

• Option 1:
  download the images from gcr.io and other docker registry one by one manually.
• Option 2:
  setup shadowsocks and at shadowsock client, you need to enable it to allow other device connect to it.
  then

minikube start --docker-env HTTP_PROXY=http://<your local network ip>:<ss proxy port> --docker-env HTTPS_PROXY=https://<your local network ip>:<ss proxy port>

and

export no_proxy=$no_proxy,$(minikube ip)
Now you need to wait to see all images are downloaded successfully.
minikube ssh -- docker images
output like below but the images vary as you use different version of minikube.

then

$ minikube ssh -- docker images

By the way , I have one more solution.We can use Docker hub autobuild with Github Integrate. You can read my kube-apiserver-amd64 and Docker Hub Docs

I tried use --docker-env HTTP_PROXY=http://<your local network ip>:<ss proxy port> --docker-env HTTPS_PROXY=https://<your local network ip>:<ss proxy port>, but it did not work. After some struggling, I use the customized minikube from http://kubernetes.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/minikube/releases/v1.2.0/minikube-windows-amd64.exe?spm=a2c4e.11153940.0.0.7dd54cecjlFs90&file=minikube-windows-amd64.exe, then it works.
