I want to start minikube to learn Kubernetes but am having trouble because of error RSRC_INSUFFICIENT_CORES.
My mac has 2 CPU cores and minikube docs say that 2 cores are required.
Here a the machine specs from "About this Mac":
This machine has VirtualBox Version 5.2.35 r135669 but its not running, and working docker and docker-machine, as shown here:
✗ docker-machine --version
docker-machine version 0.16.1, build
✗ docker --version
Docker version 17.05.0-ce, build 89658be
I have successfully installed minikube v1.25.1 using an updated version of MacPorts, as shown here:
✗ which minikube
/opt/local/bin/minikube
✗ minikube version
minikube version: v1.25.1
I cannot start minikube and get error: Exiting due to RSRC_INSUFFICIENT_CORES. Here is the output that I see from 2 different minikube start attempts:
✗ minikube start --cpus=2
😄 minikube v1.25.1 on Darwin 10.11.6
✨ Automatically selected the docker driver. Other choices: virtualbox, ssh
- Ensure your docker daemon has access to enough CPU/memory resources.
- Docs https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/#resources
⛔ Exiting due to RSRC_INSUFFICIENT_CORES: Requested cpu count 2 is greater than the available cpus of 1
✗ minikube start --cpus=1
😄 minikube v1.25.1 on Darwin 10.11.6
✨ Automatically selected the docker driver. Other choices: virtualbox, ssh
⛔ Exiting due to RSRC_INSUFFICIENT_CORES: Requested cpu count 1 is less than the minimum allowed of 2
Please excuse newbie-ness--this is my first ever SO question!
Is it impossible to start minikube on this Mac?
To enforce operation on a single core, you can use the following options
--extra-config=kubeadm.ignore-preflight-errors=NumCPU --force --cpus=1
Please note that docker and minikube were designed to run on at least two cores. If available, please consider enabling hyperthreading.
