### Setup
By default, the Vagrant setup will create a single kubernetes-master and 3 kubernetes-minions. You can control the number of minions that are instantiated via an environment variable on your host machine. If you plan to work with replicas, we strongly encourage you to work with enough minions to satisfy your largest intended replica size. If you do not plan to work with replicas, you can save some system resources by running with a single minion.
```
export KUBERNETES_NUM_MINIONS=3
```
To start your local cluster, open a terminal window and run:
By default, the Vagrant setup will create a single kubernetes-master and 3 kubernetes-minions. Each VM will take 512 MB, so make sure you have at least 2 GB of free memory. To start your local cluster, open a shell and run:

### Interacting with your Kubernetes cluster with Vagrant.
With your Kubernetes cluster up, you can manage the nodes in your cluster with the regular Vagrant commands.
To push updates to new Kubernetes code after making source changes:
```
vagrant provision

You can also use the cluster/kube-*.sh scripts to interact with vagrant based providers just like any other hosting platform for kubernetes.
Once your Vagrant machines are up and provisioned, the first thing to do is to check that you can use the `kubecfg.sh` script.
Set the `KUBERNETS_PROVIDER` environment variable and try to list the minions:
```
cd kubernetes
modify cluster/kube-env.sh:
KUBERNETES_PROVIDER="vagrant"
$ export KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=vagrant
$ ./cluster/kubecfg.sh list /minions
Minion identifier
----------

10.245.2.2

### Interacting with your Kubernetes cluster with the `kube-*` scripts.
Alternatively to using the vagrant commands, you can also use the `cluster/kube-*.sh` scripts to interact with the vagrant based provider just like any other hosting platform for kubernetes.
You need to build the binary required by `kube*` scripts:
```
hack/build-go.sh
```
cluster/kube-up.sh => brings up a vagrant cluster
cluster/kube-down.sh => destroys a vagrant cluster
cluster/kube-push.sh => updates a vagrant cluster
cluster/kubecfg.sh => interact with the cluster
Then bring up a vagrant cluster
```
cluster/kube-up.sh
```
Destroy the vagrant cluster
```
cluster/kube-down.sh
```
Update the vagrant cluster
```
cluster/kube-push.sh
```
Interact with the cluster
```
cluster/kubecfg.sh
```
### Authenticating with your master
To interact with the cluster, you must authenticate with the master when running cluster/kubecfg.sh commands.
If it's your first time using the cluster, your first invocation of cluster/kubecfg.sh will prompt you for credentials:
When using the vagrant provider in Kubernetes, the `cluster/kubecfg.sh` script will cache your credentials in a `~/.kubernetes_auth_vagrant` file so you will not be prompted for them in the future.
```
cat ~/.kubernetes_auth_vagrant
{ "User": "vagrant",
"Password": "vagrant"}
```
You should now be set to use the `cluster/kubecfg.sh` script. For example try to list the minions that you have started with:
```
cd kubernetes
cluster/kubecfg.sh list minions
Please enter Username: vagrant
Please enter Password: vagrant
```
### Running containers
Your cluster is running, you can list the minions in your cluster:
```
$ cluster/kubecfg.sh list /minions
Minion identifier
----------
10.245.2.4
10.245.2.3
10.245.2.2
```
The kubecfg.sh command will cache your credentials in a .kubernetes_auth file so you will not be prompted in the future.
```
cat ~/.kubernetes_auth
{"User":"vagrant","Password":"vagrant"}
```
If you try Kubernetes against multiple cloud providers, make sure this file is correct for your target environment.
### Running a container
Your cluster is running, and you want to start running containers!
Now start running some containers!
You can now use any of the cluster/kube-*.sh commands to interact with your VM machines.
Before starting a container there will be no pods, services and replication controllers.
```
cluster/kubecfg.sh list /pods
cluster/kubecfg.sh list /services
cluster/kubecfg.sh list /replicationControllers
cluster/kubecfg.sh -p 8080:80 run dockerfile/nginx 3 myNginx
$ cluster/kubecfg.sh list /pods

## begin wait for provision to complete, you can monitor the minions by doing
vagrant ssh minion-1
sudo docker images
## you should see it pulling the dockerfile/nginx image, once the above command returns it
sudo docker ps
## you should see your container running!
exit
## end wait
$ cluster/kubecfg.sh list /services

## back on the host, introspect kubernetes!

$ cluster/kubecfg.sh list /replicationControllers
ID Image(s) Selector Replicas

```
Start a container running nginx with a replication controller and three replicas:
```
$cluster/kubecfg.sh -p 8080:80 run dockerfile/nginx 3 myNginx
```
When listing the pods, you will see that three containers have been started and are in Waiting state:
```
$ cluster/kubecfg.sh list /pods

```
You need to wait for the provisioning to complete, you can monitor the minions by doing
```
$ vagrant ssh minion-1
$ sudo docker images

kubernetes/pause latest 6c4579af347b 8 weeks ago 239.8 kB
```
Once the docker image for nginx has been downloaded, the container will start and you can list it:
```
$ sudo docker ps

We did not start any services, hence there is none listed. But we see three replicas displayed properly.
Check the [guestbook](examples/guestbook/README.md) application to learn how to create a service.
You can already play with resizing the replicas with:
```
$ cluster/kubecfg.sh resize myNginx 2
$ cluster/kubecfg.sh list /pods

#### I just created the cluster, but I do not see my container running !
If this is your first time creating the cluster, the kubelet on each minion schedules a number of docker pull requests to fetch prerequisite images. This can take some time and as a result may delay your initial pod getting provisioned.

Are you sure there was no build error? After running $ vagrant provision, scroll up and ensure that each Salt state was completed successfully on each box in the cluster.
Are you sure there was no build error? After running `$ vagrant provision`, scroll up and ensure that each Salt state was completed successfully on each box in the cluster.
It's very likely you see a build error due to an error in your source files!
#### I want to change the number of minions !
You can control the number of minions that are instantiated via the environment variable `KUBERNETES_NUM_MINIONS` on your host machine. If you plan to work with replicas, we strongly encourage you to work with enough minions to satisfy your largest intended replica size. If you do not plan to work with replicas, you can save some system resources by running with a single minion. You do this, by setting `KUBERNETES_NUM_MINIONS` to 1 like so:
```
export KUBERNETES_NUM_MINIONS=1
```
