<p>I have tried to install MariaDB ColumnStore on Kubernetes. I am using Windows 10 and have my kubernetes cluster inside a VBox. </p>

<p>This is what I have tried so far:</p>

<p>First I went to <a href="https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/mariadb-kubernetes/tree/master/mariadb-enterprise" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/mariadb-kubernetes/tree/master/mariadb-enterprise</a> and downloaded the git repo.</p>

<pre><code>git clone https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/mariadb-kubernetes
</code></pre>

<p>I CD to the directory of the folder and try to install the chart using Helm without any modification to the values file to see if it works.</p>

<pre><code>helm install mariadb-enterprise/ --name my_cluster
</code></pre>

<p>It works. But when I try to change the topology to "columnstore" </p>

<pre><code>helm install mariadb-enterprise/ --name my_cluster --set mariadb.cluster.topology = columnstore-standalone
</code></pre>

<p>I get the following error </p>

<pre><code>my-cluster-mdb-cs-single-0              0/1     Init:ErrImagePull   0          18s
</code></pre>

<p>I get the following output when I use </p>

<pre><code> kubectl describe pod my-cluster-mdb-cs-single-0
</code></pre>

<p>Anyone know why I get this error and if there is a way to solve it?</p>

kkss
<p>The problem was that I needed to have Docker installed on Windows. This was not possible when running minikube on VirtualBox. I had to reinstall minikube on Hyper-V, install Docker for Desktop, and then I could install MariaDB ColumnStore.</p>
