Minikube: How to actually stop/delete minikube

[stychu]

Please provide the following details:

Environment: linux

Minikube version (use minikube version): v0.22.3

What happened:

I want to delete minikube and stop all k8s containers but Im unable to do it.
I've run minikube delete didin't helped. Everytime I do run docker stop $(docker ps -q --filter name=k8s); docker rm $(docker ps -aq --filter name=k8s) it spins up new containers

What you expected to happen:
Able to stop all containers and cleanup images from my local docker / remove minikube

Can you see what the status of the systemd unit running localkube is? It seems this process is still running the kubelet and re-initializing those containers
systemctl status localkube

friendly ping @stychu

[sherzodv]

@aaron-prindle That's right. localkube is active and looks like it keeps the containers alive. I'm new to minikube, but I expected from minikube stop to actually stop everything.

minikube version: v0.24.1
docker version: 17.09.1-ce

[sherzodv]

I was wrong. after minikube stop ps aux | grep localkube gives nothing. But all containers are still up and running.

[Speedy1991]

Had the same problem. The containers are started by the _localkube_ service. Running

systemctl stop localkube
docker rm -f $(docker ps -aq --filter name=k8s)

just worked fine for me

Stopping localkube and removing images, but then restarting localkube it's spitting out errors like this:

Found a hack:
Enter into minikube shell first. and use poweroff command :)

$ minikube ssh
$ sudo poweroff

hi, having same issue with minikube v1.9.0

minikube start --driver=docker
minikube status
minikube stop
...
docker ps
>>> here are k8s containers
docker kill $(docker ps -q)
>>> here are k8s containers AGAIN

[tstromberg]

This seems like a separate bug. You need to run minikube delete to make the containers disappear.
