how to use new release of kubernetes as default in minikube

7/19/2017

I installed the minikube for local kubernetes development according to article DevOps-Kubernetes-1-Running-Kubernetes-Locally-via-Minikube

  • Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
  • minikube 0.20.0

The default kubernetes for minikube 0.20.0 is v1.6.4 and I use follow command to use new release v1.7.0

minikube start  --kubernetes-version v1.7.0

How can I set this as default in configuration for minikube ?

So far, if I run minikube start, it always starts default v1.6.4 even the server VM is upgraded to v1.7.0

$ minikube start
Starting local Kubernetes v1.6.4 cluster...
Starting VM...
...
$ kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"7", GitVersion:"v1.7.0", 
GitCommit:"d3ada0119e776222f11ec7945e6d860061339aad", GitTreeState:"clean", 
BuildDate:"2017-06-29T23:15:59Z", GoVersion:"go1.8.3", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
The connection to the server 192.168.42.96:8443 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?

You can set its default value with:

minikube config set kubernetes-version v1.7.0

It edits ~/.minikube/config/config.json and adds:

{
    "kubernetes-version": "v1.7.0"
}

There is no simple documentation for this, check source code config.go for reference.
