Make sure docker desktop is running after restart

minikube start

kubectl get po -A

To avoid “Unauthorized exception” when using “kubectl”

it is important to use

minikube kubectl -- <YOU KUBECTL PARAMS>
minikube kubectl -- version
minikube kubectl -- create deployment demo-consume-api --image=ghcr.io/alfrepo/demo-consume-api:latest

Use the alias on Linux

alias kubectl="minikube kubectl --"

Use the functions on Windows powershell

function kubectl {
  param(
    [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
    [string] $arguments
  )
  minikube kubectl -- $arguments
}

minikube kubectl -- get po -A

minikube dashboard

Assume you earlier created some deployment

minikube kubectl -- create deployment demo-consume-api --image=ghcr.io/alfrepo/demo-consume-api:latest

This application is running on port 8080, exposing API on /public/hello

Then to expose the deployment

minikube service list

# pick the service deployment
# its on port 8080
# now make a port exposed

minikube service --url demo-consume-api
http://127.0.0.1:52260
❗  Because you are using a Docker driver on windows, the terminal needs to be open to run it.

# other terminal you now can
curl http://127.0.0.1:52260/public/hello
