Minikube Start panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference [signal 0xc0000005 code=0x0 addr=0x10 pc=0x8812cf]

8/29/2017

My setup:

Win 10 home host, Virtualbox, Minikube.exe, Kubectl.exe, Docker Toolbox

which also create "default" VM in Virtualbox.

I need this setup for learning. I wanna do this

I have installed the Docker Toolbox which created "default" VM in Virtualbox & it's working properly.

I have used

 minikube start --kubernetes-version="v1.4.0" --vm-driver="virtualbox" --show-libmachine-logs --alsologtostderr

From here

& I am getting this :

missing apiserver.crt in the minikube VM.

I do not have the localkube folder too.

I cannot manage to work together the ==>

Docker Toolbox + Minikube + Kubectl 

under Win 10 Home with Virtualbox.
