Objective of this article is to help to know how to setup MiniShift and Run in development environment by using Oracle VM VirtualBox. Prior to continue with this article, there are few prerequisites which you should already done in your system.
- Download & Install Oracle VM by clicking this link
- Download latest version of MiniShift
Then keep the extracted MiniShift directory into your C drive or even any specific directory which is comfortable to you and navigate to the path of the MiniShift directory in Command Line or PowerShell. Then issue the below command to start MiniShift.
minishift start –vm-driver virtualbox
Look at the below log information while setting up the MiniShift.

OpenShift server started. The server is accessible via web console at: https://192.168.99.100:8443/console You are logged in as: User: developer Password: <any value> To login as administrator: oc login -u system:admin — Exporting of OpenShift images is occuring in background process with pid 71760. |
Note: MiniShift will automatically import image into VirtualBox and Run, we no need to import image in VirtualBox manually.
As per the above log information OpenShift setup has been done and it is running with Process Id of 71760. We can access the OpenShift console with the URL of https://192.168.99.100:8443/console and there are 2 different types of login provided like developer and administrator. Currently it is logged in as developer. Let’s access the console,
We should pass the username as developer and password as any value to login. Then the home page looks like,
Now try to login as administrator by using the credentials generated at the time of OpenShift starting. We may end up with the problem of error: not a valid port: strconv.ParseUint: parsing “admin”: invalid syntax
To solve this problem, we must set OC path which we can find it in oc-env. Execute the below command to know the properties present in oc-env.
minishift oc-env
SET PATH=C:\Users\subbaiah.nallamachu\.minishift\cache\oc\v3.11.0\windows;%PATH%
Now copy the complete line of set path and execute in the same command line and then try to login as administrator by using the same command shown in the log.
