Minikube: Debian package should include the kvm driver (docker-machine-driver-kvm2)
Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST?: FEATURE REQUEST
The minikube-XXX-.deb package is intended to be used on debian systems. To simplify setup and usage of kvm2 driver, it could be include within the package (maybe provided through private debian repository). Thus the installation and upgrade of minikube will be more convenient.
Please provide the following details:
Environment: Linux
Minikube version: 0.27 and 0.28
- OS : Ubuntu 18.04
- VM Driver: KVM2
What happened:
I need to install and maintain (upgrade) docker-machine-driver-kvm2 manually as sudoer.
What you expected to happen:
Installing/upgrading the minikube through debian package, the docker-machine-driver-kvm2 is installed/upgraded accordingly.

Issues go stale after 90d of inactivity.
Mark the issue as fresh with /remove-lifecycle stale.
Stale issues rot after an additional 30d of inactivity and eventually close.
If this issue is safe to close now please do so with /close.
Send feedback to sig-testing, kubernetes/test-infra and/or fejta.

I suppose removing the .deb altogether is another option ? Then it could be packaged _properly_ downstream instead, using PPA or some similar means. And then wouldn't have to defend the lack of .rpm etc (#402)

If we packaged kvm2 as debs, maybe that could avoid versioning issues: #3437

This is still very desirable for Debian-based systems.

@mgabeler-lee-6rs : note that virtualbox is still the default driver
Added some .deb packaging now, but it is not a hard dependency
We could add it as a soft: Suggests: docker-machine-driver-kvm2

Given vbox as the default driver, Suggests seems like the right relation, yes.
Thanks for this!

Most likely we will need to set up our own apt repository for this to work...
Similar to what is available for kubeadm (but not for bionic, just yet?)
https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/tools/kubeadm/install-kubeadm/#installing-kubeadm-kubelet-and-kubectl
curl -s https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | apt-key add -
cat <<EOF >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubernetes.list
deb https://apt.kubernetes.io/ kubernetes-xenial main
EOF
See #3110
~We also need to fix minikube build so that it actually builds it for xenial.~
Currently there is a bug (#4555), so it bypasses docker and uses host. ☹
Update: fixed! Now building properly towards libvirt 1.3.1, so it works "everywhere"
``` Dockerfile
FROM gcr.io/gcp-runtimes/ubuntu_16_0_4

It's a great idea.

Linking the conversation in #wg-k8s-infra, so that context doesn't get lost on apt/yum repos: https://kubernetes.slack.com/archives/CCK68P2Q2/p1562665049225800

@justaugustus : thanks for the link, but wasn't sure about the full context of the request
i.e. if minikube was to be included in the main repo, or set up a similar one for the project ?
We will start producing the packages for next release, so there should be some made for 1.3.0
Of course we already have the minikube packages, this was for docker-machine-driver-kvm2

Packages are now available:
https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/v1.3.0/docker-machine-driver-kvm2_1.3.0.deb
https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/v1.3.0/docker-machine-driver-kvm2-1.3.0.rpm
No support for apt or yum yet.
