How much disk space do you need for Kubernetes Minikube

1/10/2019

I want to install Kubernettes Minikube (both Linux OS and Minikube) on a 56GB SSD drive. The Kubernettes web site is silent on disk space requirements for Minikube binaries and storage.

I did a little digging into the source on the GitHub repo and found:

The minimum disk size for the VM is 2000MB

    MinimumDiskSizeMB   = 2000

The default disk size for the VM is 20GB

    DefaultDiskSize     = "20g"

The minikube install by default around 16GB VM, you can configure your VM disk space using the:

minikube start --vm-driver kvm2 --disk-size 20GB

This way it will allocate 20GB diskspace to your VM.
