How to transfer files between local machine and minikube?

问题

I am using OS Ubuntu 16.0.4 and i installed minikube on it. I need to copy some files to minikube, so how can i do that? I tried next command but it asked me on password and i don't know it

scp /media/myuser/sourceFolder docker@192.168.99.100:/home/docker/destiationFolder

Note: minikube IP is 192.168.99.100, and i used docker as default user for minikube but actually i don't know if it correct ot not.

So what is the default username and password for minikube and how can i copy files from my local machine into minikube?

Thanks :)

回答1:

On the host machine you can use the ssh-key and ip subcommands of the minikube command:

scp -i $(minikube ssh-key) <local-path> docker@$(minikube ip):<remote-path>

So the command from the question becomes:

scp -i $(minikube ssh-key) /media/myuser/sourceFolder docker@$(minikube ip):/home/docker/destiationFolder

I handled it by following next steps:

1- going into ssh of minikube >> minikube ssh

2- Changing docker password using sudo >> sudo passwd docker and create new password so now i know docker user password

3- exit from ssh and go back to Ubuntu terminal >> exit

4- using scp command to copy files into minikube >> scp /local/path/to/file/ docker@minikubeIp:/your/destination/folder/

For example scp -r /media/myuser/sourceFolder docker@192.168.99.100:/home/docker

and after that it asked only for minikube docker user password which i know it now after changed it then write password and folders copied successfully into minikube from local machine

you can use kubectl cp command. https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubectl/kubectl-commands#cp
