Steps to Release Localkube

Configure The Correct Kubernetes Version to Build for Localkube

When building localkube for a specific Kubernetes version, follow the steps at Updating Kubernetes. After you have setup a new folder and GOPATH with the desired version of Kubernetes (from the directions above), you go on to build localkube.

Build the Localkube Release

make out/localkube

Upload to GCS:

gsutil cp out/localkube  gs://minikube/k8sReleases/$K8S_RELEASE/localkube-linux-amd64

Add the version to the k8s_releases.json file

Add an entry in the appropriate version location to deploy/minikube/k8s_releases.json with the version, and send a PR. This file lists the available versions of localkube for minikube. Only add entries to this file that should be released to all users (no pre-release, alpha or beta releases).

The schema for this file can be found in deploy/minikube/k8s_schema.json.

An automated test to verify the schema runs in Travis before each submit.

Upload the releases.json file to GCS

This step makes the new release trigger update notifications in old versions of Minikube. Use this command from a clean git repo:

gsutil cp deploy/minikube/k8s_releases.json gs://minikube/k8s_releases.json
