How to transfer files between local machine and minikube?

Question

I am using OS Ubuntu 16.0.4 and i installed minikube on it. I need to copy some files to minikube, so how can i do that? I tried next command but it asked me on password and i don't know it

scp /media/myuser/sourceFolder [email protected]:/home/docker/destiationFolder 

Note: minikube IP is 192.168.99.100, and i used docker as default user for minikube but actually i don't know if it correct ot not.

So what is the default username and password for minikube and how can i copy files from my local machine into minikube?

Thanks :)

On the host machine you can use the ssh-key and ip subcommands of the minikube command:

scp -i $(minikube ssh-key) <local-path> docker@$(minikube ip):<remote-path> 

So the command from the question becomes:

scp -i $(minikube ssh-key) /media/myuser/sourceFolder docker@$(minikube ip):/home/docker/destiationFolder
