terraform-provider-minikube

A terraform provider for minikube!

The goal of this project is to allow developers to create minikube clusters and integrate it with common kubernetes terraform providers such as hashicorp/kubernetes and hashicorp/helm all within the comfort of Minikube!

You can learn more about how to use the provider at https://registry.terraform.io/providers/scott-the-programmer/minikube/latest/docs

Installing your preferred driver

minikube start --vm=true --driver=hyperkit --download-only
minikube start --vm=true --driver=hyperv --download-only
minikube start --driver=docker --download-only

Some drivers require a bit of prerequisite setup, so it's best to visit https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/drivers/ first

Usage

provider minikube {
  kubernetes_version = "v1.28.3"
}

resource "minikube_cluster" "cluster" {
  vm      = true
  driver  = "hyperkit"
  cni     = "bridge"
  addons  = [
    "dashboard",
    "default-storageclass",
    "ingress",
    "storage-provisioner"
  ]
}

You can use minikube to verify the cluster is up & running

Outputs

In order to integrate the minikube providers with other k8s providers, you can reference the following outputs

• client_certificate (string, sensitive) client certificate used in cluster
• client_key (string, sensitive) client key for cluster
• cluster_ca_certificate (string, sensitive) certificate authority for cluster
• host (string) the host name for the cluster

These outputs are consistent across supported by all minikube cluster types

i.e.

provider "kubernetes" {
  host = minikube_cluster.cluster.host

  client_certificate     = minikube_cluster.cluster.client_certificate
  client_key             = minikube_cluster.cluster.client_key
  cluster_ca_certificate = minikube_cluster.cluster.cluster_ca_certificate
}
