Milestone
Here's an idea to address #4302
Add a lightweight HTTP service to our VM that unobtrusively reports system stats, such as load average. As soon as we can confirm SSH access to our VM, and the VM appears to be of the correct version, try accessing this service.
Port 8443 would be ideal for catching the issue, but lets say a nearby port to avoid conflicts.
This would kill two birds with one stone:
If it fails, we could report a very clear message, such as:
Unable to make HTTP requests to the VM (http://<ip>:port). To use minikube, please adjust your firewall or VPN to allow these connections.
We can always add
--force
to workaround issues with it.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
