Is it possible to install minikube (k8s) on redhat (VM) archi s390x (LinuxONE - IBM) ?

Hello,

I'm trying to install minikube k8s (Kubernetes) on linux redhat 8 distribution. The VM is on IBM LinuxONE Rockhopper Archi s390x.

Docker is already installed and working.

So I downloaded the rpm package minikube-linux-s390x and install it well.

But when I start minikube with docker driver I get error.

when I do the docker command to inspect the kic package I discover that s390x is not allowed. I see only the amd64 and arm64 archi.


My question is simple : is it possible to install minikube on redhat (VM) archi s390x ?

If answer is yes where can I find the right packages (procedure) ?


Thanks for your reply.

1) My question is simple : is it possible to install minikube on redhat (VM) archi s390x?

Yes.

You'll download the source + build from source.

Whether this will actually work or not... likely the answer is yes... and you'll still be in for an adventure requiring a good bit of time.

2) If answer is yes where can I find the right packages (procedure) ?

You'll likely be building from source, so if you like there's surely a target to generate RPMs, so you'll use the build system to generate a package... or install directly... which ever seems best to you...

Thanks for your reply.
In the screenshot above, you can see that miikube is picking up the iso image of kubernetes on docker hub.
What do you mean when you talk about source: IBM download source ?

so you'll use the build system to generate a package... or install directly :
what do you mean ? should I generate a package my self or may I find it somewhere ?
Surely I m not looking a the right place
Finally, I create a k8s cluster with two nodes (master/worker).
Everything seem to work good.
Just one question : I can't run kubectl on the worker node.
I'm having this error : The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port
The kubectl command is working well on the master.
May be this situation is normal !?Thanks for reply
