winget install Oracle.VirtualBox
# set PATH=%PATH%;"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox"

winget install -e --id Canonical.Multipass
multipass set local.driver=virtualbox
multipass find
multipass launch --cpus 2 --disk 13G --memory 2G --name jammy 22.04

multipass shell jammy
sudo snap install microk8s --classic
multipass list

mv ~/.kube.conf ~/.kube.conf.bkp
multipass exec jammy -- sudo microk8s config > ~/.kube.conf
kubectl get node -o wide

Increasing resources

multipass set local.jammy.disk=20G
multipass set local.jammy.cpus=2
multipass set local.jammy.memory=2G

Helm - run as admin

choco list
choco source enable -n chocolatey
choco install kubernetes-helm
helm

helm install main haproxytech/kubernetes-ingress

Install Multipass on windows and run ubuntu vm in hyperv

winget install -e --id Canonical.Multipass
multipass find
multipass launch 22.04 --name jammy
multipass list
multipass shell jammy
multipass stop jammy

Microk8s in vm

multipass shell jammy
sudo snap install microk8s --classic
sudo snap install kubectl --classic
mkdir ~/.kube
sudo microk8s config > ~/.kube/config
# server: https://127.0.0.1:16443
sudo microk8s.kubectl get node
kubectl get node -o wide

Change size

multipass set [local.<instance-name>.(cpus|disk|memory)](https://multipass.run/t/)]=[value]

https://multipass.run/docs/modify-an-instance

$ multipass stop handsome-ling
$ multipass set local.handsome-ling.cpus=4
$ multipass set local.handsome-ling.disk=60G
$ multipass set local.handsome-ling.memory=7G

multipass stop jammy
multipass set local.jammy.memory=2G
multipass start jammy
multipass shell jammy

More notes

    sudo usermod -a -G microk8s ubuntu
    sudo chown -R ubuntu ~/.kube
