What Happened?

minikube start --driver=docker failed with multiple errors:

command error: command : sudo hostname minikube && echo "minikube" | sudo tee /etc/hostname err : Process exited with status 1 output : sudo: effective uid is not 0, is /usr/bin/sudo on a file system with the 'nosuid' option set or an NFS file system without root privileges?

Something seems wrong with the /docker/root directory

[f0xMccloud]

Yes it seems to, I changed the default path of docker root directory as you can see. Part of dirs are owned by root and other parts owned by regular user (since, i think, i added pi user to docker group).

Maybe user and rights are not correct for minikube ?

[afbjorklund]

I don't think it is the ownership as such, it looks more like you mounted it nosuid or something ? Anyway, this is a Docker problem (for sudo) and not really related to minikube

Yes it seems to, I changed the default path of docker root directory as you can see.

What was the reason for moving away from /var/lib/docker ? Added a disk to the Pi ?

[f0xMccloud]

Correct. Thanks for help

Yes, that was the reason.

There was a backlog item of adding more helpful instructions for the Raspberry Pi.

• minikube on raspberry pi (ARM desktop) #9762

When running with arm64 and 4 GiB of RAM, I don't think there's that much left ?

Hi @f0xMccloud, was your question resolved? Is it okay if I close this issue?

[f0xMccloud]

Hi @spowelljr , yes it is. Sorry I completely forget to close it.
