To install MicroK8s on Ubuntu, you can follow these steps

To install MicroK8s on Ubuntu, you can follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal on your Ubuntu machine.

2. Update your system's package list by running the following command:  

 sudo apt update

3. Install MicroK8s using snap, which is a package management system on Ubuntu:   

sudo snap install microk8s --classic

   The `--classic` flag is used to enable classic snap confinement, allowing MicroK8s to access the host system.

4. After the installation is complete, add your user to the `microk8s` group so that you can run MicroK8s commands without using `sudo`:

sudo usermod -a -G microk8s <your-username>

   Replace `<your-username>` with your actual username.

5. To enable required permissions for your user, run the following command:

sudo chown -f -R <your-username> ~/.kube

6. You will need to log out and log back in for the group changes to take effect. So, close the terminal and open a new one.

7. Verify that MicroK8s is up and running by checking the status:

microk8s status --wait-ready

   This command will wait until all the MicroK8s services are running.

8. To enable some useful add-ons, you can use the following commands:

microk8s enable dns dashboard storage

  This will enable the DNS service, Kubernetes dashboard, and storage add-ons.

9. To access the Kubernetes dashboard, run the following command:

microk8s dashboard-proxy

 This will start a local proxy, and you can access the dashboard by visiting `http://localhost:8001` in your web browser.

That's it! You have successfully installed MicroK8s on your Ubuntu machine.
