Geode Minikube on WSL - padogrid/padogrid GitHub Wiki
This article provides installation steps for setting up kubectl in Windows 10 WSL with bash auto-completion to deploy Geode. The steps described here are for Hyper-V and Docker Desktop.
-
Install Docker Desktop for Windows https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop
-
Install WSL and kube tools as described in the link below.

- PowerShell: Install Minikube
https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-minikube/
- PowerShell: Start Minikube
minikube start --extra-config=kubelet.authentication-token-webhook=true --memory 5120 --cpus 4 --vm-driver hyperv- PowerShell: Start Minikube Dashboard
IMPORTANT: Make sure to start the dashboard at this time before taking the next step. You may not be able to start the dashboard otherwise.
minikube dashboard- WSL: Configure
kubectl
Minikube installed on Windows has Windows paths for the certificate files. To get the Minikube address and port number, execute the following:
kubectl config viewYou need to execute the following to change the paths in the Unix form.
kubectl config set-cluster minikube --server=https://<minikube-ip>:<port> --certificate-authority=/c/Users/<windows-user-name>/.minikube/ca.crt
kubectl config set-credentials minikube --client-certificate=/c/Users/<windows-user-name>/.minikube/client.crt --client-key=/c/Users/<windows-user-name>/.minikube/client.key
kubectl config set-context minikube --cluster=minikube --user=minikube
kubectl config view
kubectl config use-context minikube
kubectl get nodes❗ Note that the PadoGrid's k8s component includes path conversion scripts for your convenience. You do not need to execute the above commands individually.
The above commands are referenced from the following link:

* Verifying dashboard health ...Solution: This is due to the WSL Minikube file paths set in one of the above steps. You can set the paths using kubectl.exe from PowerShell or reinstall Minikube and make sure to execute minikue dashboard before configuring kubectl in WSL.
To configure paths from Powershell:
kubectl.exe config set-cluster minikube --server=https://<minikube-ip>:<port> --certificate-authority=c:\Users\<windows-user-name>\.minikube\ca.crt
kubectl.exe config set-credentials minikube --client-certificate=c:\Users\<windows-user-name>\.minikube\client.crt --client-key=c:\Users\<windows-user-name>\.minikube\client.key
kubectl.exe config set-context minikube --cluster=minikube --user=minikube
kubectl.exe config view
kubectl.exe config use-context minikube
kubectl.exe get nodesSolution: Stop and delete Minkube from Hyper-V Manager.
minikube delete
erase C:\Users\<user>\.minikube\config\config.json
minikube start --extra-config=kubelet.authentication-token-webhook=true --memory=5120 --cpus=4 --vm-driver=virtualbox
