⁠Minikube Registry Proxy

minikube-registry-proxy runs as a container in your Docker Engine and proxies port 5000 to Minikube⁠. This allows you to easily use locally built images in Minikube without requiring an external registry.

Tanmai Gopal explains this problem and general solution in Sharing a local registry with minikube⁠. The minikube-registry-proxy solution works well with Docker for Mac (not just docker-machine) and uses the Minikube registry addon. It allows your Docker version to be newer than the version supported by Minikube.

⁠Setup

1. Install Minikube⁠

2. Enable the registry addon:

   minikube addons enable registry

3. Install the kube-registry-proxy DaemonSet:

   kubectl apply -f https://github.com/Faithlife/minikube-registry-proxy/raw/master/kube-registry-proxy.yml

4. Start the minikube-registry-proxy:

   curl -L https://github.com/Faithlife/minikube-registry-proxy/raw/master/docker-compose.yml | MINIKUBE_IP=$(minikube ip) docker-compose -p mkr -f - up -d

You can now push images with a localhost:5000/ tag prefix and pull them into Minikube.
