Description

  1. minikube start --driver=docker
  2. minikube ip = 172.17.0.2

How are you supposed to access the web app from a browser when the IP is 172.17.0.2? Browser just spins for a while before saying it can't connect. Only occurs when --driver=docker. Just about every other driver gives you an ip that is accessible from browser.

Contributor guide

Research direction
