Commands for the local CRC VM from part one. Easy enough to remember until I haven’t touched it for a month.

Start / Stop / Delete:

crc start
crc stop
crc delete

View Configuration:

Show options: crc config Show memory: crc config get memory Show CPU: crc config get cpus Show nameservers: crc config get nameserver

crc config view will show pretty much blank if you’ve accepted defaults. It only shows deviations from default settings.

Set Configuration:

CPU: crc config set cpus 4 Nameserver: crc config set nameserver 1.1.1.1

crc stop keeps the VM for next time. crc delete removes it, including the cluster state inside it; that isn’t a more thorough version of stop.

Configuration changes aren’t necessarily live changes to the running cluster. Check the setting’s help and restart or recreate the instance where required. Also, a public nameserver like 1.1.1.1 won’t resolve private corporate names just because it resolves public ones. That matters if the lab sits behind a VPN.

The CRC configuration reference is the place to check the requirements for the version you’ve installed.
