This setup creates ec2 instance that is ready for a single node minishift installation.

There's a Minikube version with Kubernetes available too.

• Initialize terraform

terraform init

• Run create.yaml playbook (Ansible >= 2.5 required - terraform module is used)

ansible-playbook create.yaml

• Run minishift command printed in the last ansible step

• Log in to your openshift using https://EC2_HOSTNAME:8443 - your hostname can be found in terraform output or in the last phase of minishift installation

Just run destroy.yaml playbook.

In case encountering the following error

Error starting the VM: Error starting stopped host: generic driver does not support start

remove your ~/.minishift dir and retry.

Use *.auto.tfvars to define variables for terraform. See variables.tf to see available options.

For example - to change SSH key create mykey.auto.tfvars file, e.g.

echo 'ssh_pubkey_path = "~/.ssh/my_other_key.pub"' > mykey.auto.tfvars
