dockerminikube

Error when running the command minikube start


The following error when I run the command minikube start :

👎 Unable to pick a default driver. Here is what was considered, in preference order:
▪ docker: Not healthy: "docker version --format {{.Server.Os}}-{{.Server.Version}}" exit status 1: Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get "http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.24/version": dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied
▪ docker: Suggestion: Add your user to the 'docker' group: 'sudo usermod -aG docker $USER && newgrp docker' https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/ 💡 Alternatively you could install one of these drivers:
▪ kvm2: Not installed: exec: "virsh": executable file not found in $PATH
▪ vmware: Not installed: exec: "docker-machine-driver-vmware": executable file not found in $PATH
▪ podman: Not installed: exec: "podman": executable file not found in $PATH
▪ virtualbox: Not installed: unable to find VBoxManage in $PATH

❌ Exiting due to DRV_NOT_HEALTHY: Found driver(s) but none were healthy. See above for suggestions how to fix installed drivers.


Solution

  • Maybe you need root access to run the command, try adding your user to the docker group with this command:

    sudo usermod -aG docker $USER && newgrp docker
    

    after that restart the terminal and run the command again to check if it works
