   - After upgrading you will need to
     `rmdir /var/lib/kubelet/plugins_registry/secrets.stackable.tech-reg.sock` manually.
     This applies to *all* users, not just Microk8s.
+- Made kubeletDir configurable ([#232]).
+  - Microk8s users will need to `--set kubeletDir=/var/snap/microk8s/common/var/lib/kubelet`.
