Using minikube to install postgres

Prerequisites –

— VM like VirtualBox
— install minikube & kubectl (kubectl usually comes with minikube)

minikube version
kubectl
minikube start

— then

kubectl run pg1 --image=postgres:11.2

— make sure the pod is named pg1 and it is ready with kubectl get pods

kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
pg1 1/1 Running 0 84m

— once it is ready connect to it interactive

kubectl exec -it pg1 -- bash

— now you are in the pod/dockerd node start psql to connect – and voila!

psql -U postgres -p 5432 postgres

–Here’s one that shows you most of the steps for Postgres

–Here’s another that is better on the linux install side

–put the two together and you should be good
