<p>I'm using minikube/ kubectl on Ubuntu 16.04, trying to keep minikube cluster from running at startup. Is there a service I can disable for the same?</p>

<p>Try <code>systemctl disable kubelet.service</code></p>

<p>I use the same setup on Ubuntu 18.04 and had the same issue.<br>
After starting minikube without virtualization using <code>sudo minikube start --vm-driver=none</code> I can stop it with <code>sudo minikube stop</code> but after reboot the cluster is up again.</p>

<p>For me it was <code>kubelet</code> running on my machine that would start the cluster on reboot.
<code>systemctl disable kubelet.service</code> fixed the issue.</p>

<p>You can check if <code>kubelet</code> is enabled on your machine by running <code>systemctl is-active kubelet</code></p>
