Attempting to create a Kubernetes cluster using MiniKube based on these instructions: https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/macos/ which appear relatively straightfwoard. Installing Minikube appears to go smoothly until I attempt to start it with command:
minikube start
Running that command results to these errors:
Retriable failure: create: Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: hyperkit crashed! command line:
hyperkit loglevel=3 console=ttyS0 console=tty0 noembed nomodeset norestore waitusb=10 systemd.legacy_systemd_cgroup_controller=yes random.trust_cpu=on hw_rng_model=virtio base host=minikube
Deleting "minikube" in hyperkit ...
Creating hyperkit VM (CPUs=2, Memory=2000MB, Disk=20000MB) ..System details are as follows:
I have also enabled VirtualBox kernel properties in System Preferences.
Any ideas?
When you start your Minikube on MacOS without any flag:
minikube startit assumes you want to use the default hypervisor which in this case happens to be hyperkit and the above command is equivalent to:
minikube start --vm-driver=hyperkitIt looks like hyperkit is not properly configured on your system and that's why you get the error message.
In order to tell your Minikube to use VirtualBox you need to specify it in its start command:
minikube start --vm-driver=virtualboxIf you don't want to provide this flag each time you start your Minikube you can set VirtualBox as the default driver by issuing the following command:
minikube config set vm-driver virtualboxAfter that each time you run:
minikube startit will use VirtualBox as the virtualization technology to run your Minikube instance.
