I am a beginner to Kubernetes and starting off with this tutorial. I installed VM and expected to be able to start a cluster by using the command:
minikube start
But I get the error:
Starting local Kubernetes v1.10.0 cluster... Starting VM... E0911 13:34:45.394430 41676 start.go:174] Error starting host: Error creating host: Error executing step: Creating VM. : Error setting up host only network on machine start: The host-only adapter we just created is not visible. This is a well known VirtualBox bug. You might want to uninstall it and reinstall at least version 5.0.12 that is is supposed to fix this issue.
It says that it is a well known bug in Virtualbox but I installed its latest version. Any ideas?
minikube is a tool that makes it easy to run Kubernetes locally. It runs a single-node Kubernetes cluster inside a virtual machine (VM) on your laptop.
If you want to ssh into your Minikube node/VM, then use SSH keys. You can use a Windows client application like WinSCP to configure the keys for your VM. If the format of keys is not as expected (. ppk), then use another client called PuttyGen to convert the keys into the expected format.
Figured out the issue. VirtualBox was not installed correctly as Mac had blocked it. It wasn't obvious at first.
Restarting won't work if VirtualBox isn't installed correctly.
System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Allow -> Then allow the software corporation (in this case Oracle)
Restart
Now it worked as expected.
Have you tried restarting your computer after installing the VirtualBox ? (seems to be also a known bug to docker-machine which is used by minikube to initialize you local env)
