Minishift ( the openshift origin local installation) not starting on windows


To start minishift on windows, you need to have two prereq.

ssh client should be there in path, either cygwin or ssh runtime which comes with windows 10, you can enable it from the features.

also you will need to set the cygwin waring flat either in the command prompt from where you are starting minishift or from the profile. cmd > set CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning // now start mini


cmd> minishift start –vm-driver=virtualbox

This should start the cluster and , minishift status should give you that openshift is running.

You can also try minishift update , it might fix errors you getting.

Also you can set the size of the instances if you are getting space issues while starting minishift, this can be set as a command line parameter while starting minishift. //--disk-size 10g


Troubleshoot:

If you want to recreate the machine, you can delete it from the ~/.minishift/machines/minishift folder and its json and restart minishift, it will pull the openshift 3 again with layers and will start afresh, this is just in case your current config has gone bonkers.
