After following the hello-minikube guide and installing minikube 0.26.1 the dashboard pod is not starting and also the hello-minikube pod is not getting started.
A kubectl describe pod xxx shows that the pod could not get scheduled.

Warning FailedScheduling 3m (x3368 over 16h) default-scheduler 0/1 nodes are available: 1 node(s) had taints that the pod didn't tolerate.This has to do with taints and tolerations in k8s versions starting from 1.6. By default the master node has a NoSchedule taint.
# kubectl describe node minikube

Taints: node-role.kubernetes.io/master:NoScheduleYou can add tolerations to the pods as described in this answer - but in my case I do not want to edit any pod specs as I want to test my deployments locally 1:1 as in a live k8s environment.
The other option is to delete the taint on the master node. See the documentation here and there.
kubectl taint nodes --all node-role.kubernetes.io/master-In the specific case of a local minikube setup with only one node and testing deployments locally without adding tolerations this works as well:
kubectl taint nodes minikube node-role.kubernetes.io/master:NoSchedule-This should be part of the minikube getting started guide imho.
