This article helps you to deploy the nonrtric components in your local VM in minikube environment.

Prerequisite

• Docker

Install Minikube

Login into your vm and run the below command as sudo user in the terminal. This will install the latest version of minikube in your vm.

Alternative to Deploy NONRTRIC in Minikube

There is an alternative way, described in the procedure below to run NonRT-RIC kubenetes cluster in Minikube running on Oracle Virtual Box with Ubuntu 22.04.

Via an installation script that brings up Minikube and allow to deploy NonRT-RIC cluster on it. Besides, the Kubernetes GUI could be started to see overall deployment.

Prerequisite

VirtualBox version 6.1. (Can be downloaded from this page Download VirtualBox)

Install Ubuntu 22.04

Ubuntu version 22.04. (Can be downloaded from this page Download Ubuntu)

Basic configuration of Ubuntu on Virtual Box can be found below.

Install Minikube

#!/bin/bash
 
# Script to run as root in Ubuntu 22.04 running on Oracle Virtual Box.
# This will bring up MiniKube running. For further Non-RT RIC installation, the related block must uncomment and run.
# NOTE: Do 'sudo su' before running the script
# NOTE: Before start to installation, ensure that Curl, Git and Wget are ready to use!

Simply turn off the swap,

sudo swapoff -a

Increase the CPU

You need to increase the processors of the VM. To this go to the virtual box settings and increase it to 2.
