@medyagh @afbjorklund Looks working. Thank You.
Here is the fix to make it quick.
Add new User
Login to the newly created User
Add User to the Docker Group
Install Minicube
Start minikube with Docker Driver
Verify minikube Installation
@bhushankumarl running minikube with root user is not allowed, please create a new user, and run it with that user
make sure add that user to the docker group. https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/#manage-docker-as-a-non-root-user
Another way I found from Docker forums without creating any new user.
Just run the following CMD:
minikube start --force --driver=dockerThis worked for me in Ubuntu machine.
I just run command
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER && newgrp dockeron Ubuntu , and it worked. Could see more details in this document manage-docker-as-a-non-root-userdo not run the “minikube start” command with a root (sudo) privilege. just run without root privilege. this worked for me
Follow this command It will resolve your issue
sudo -E minikube start --driver=none
sudo minikube config set driver none
minikube start
if you use Linux Desktop OS with docker and minikube already installed, just run
sudo usermod -aG docker $USERand restart your computer. It worked for me.
it worked for me, used above command
this okay:
