Starting the MicroShift service

Use the following procedure to start the MicroShift service.

Prerequisites
  • You have installed MicroShift from an RPM package.

Procedure
  1. As a root user, start the MicroShift service by entering the following command:

    $ sudo systemctl start microshift
  2. Optional: To configure your RHEL machine to start MicroShift when your machine starts, enter the following command:

    $ sudo systemctl enable microshift
  3. Optional: To disable MicroShift from automatically starting when your machine starts, enter the following command:

    $ sudo systemctl disable microshift
    Note

    The first time that the MicroShift service starts, it downloads and initializes the container images for MicroShift. As a result, it can take several minutes for MicroShift to start the first time that the service is deployed. Boot time is reduced for subsequent starts of the MicroShift service.
