Allow configuration of Kube components about minikube HOT 8 CLOSED

I'm working on a large refactor of localkube.
It isn't what you're proposing here, but anyway.
What do you think about mounting the flags from all servers?

What do you mean by "mounting flags"?

from minikube.

I mean mounting commonly used flags like --service-cluster-ip-range, which will in turn be passed to the apiserver. If there would be a way to automatically mount all flags with a server prefix, it would be great. I. e. --service-cluster-ip-range for apiserver automatically becomes --apiserver-service-cluster-ip-range for localkube.

BTW, are you okay with removing the start, stop, status commands to make localkube like the other kubernetes components (flags only)? We would get rid of so much unnecessary complexity, and it would be easier to understand. I'm not understanding either how one is supposed to run status on a binary that's running as a daemon w/ start, but that's just me.

So I would propose to have a flag --servers where the user may specify which servers localkube should start, instead of starting multiple localkube servers by hand.

I like the idea of allowing parameters for every server by using prefixes. Seems like a very logical way to provide configuration. How do you feel about also providing configuration in files?

The original plan was to have localkube run a server which would allow commands to be sent while it's running (ie. getting status while the binary is running).

The reasoning behind this was to avoid a problem I commonly have with docker-machine where the VM will be running but the daemon is not functioning correctly and typically requires a restart. I wanted to provide a command like tool that could introspect (and act) on it's state. I figured with having so many more components in a single process this problem is even worse but I definitely see your point about complexity.

+1. Although we should probably keep in mind that right now minikube will be the primary user of the localkube binary itself, so we should try to make the default values of all these flags useful to minikube.

👍 for configurability. Having a hard time to figure out how to change --service-node-port-range.

Without this I cannot easily mirror our existing vagrant box - otherwise minikube is great so far.

Fixed with #529. Closing.
