Hi @AlphaWong. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes/test-infra repository.

This doesn't seem right to me - LoadBalancer should work on macOS with all drivers.

I get a wanting in default docker driver

Because you are using a Docker driver on darwin, the terminal needs to be open to run it.

People inside #7344 (comment) also share the same experience. It seems that it is not working in current version.

Which version u are testing with?

[medyagh]

I think you meant to add this to docker driver docs, in MacOS.

I agree that we should put it at other page but end up the quick start from https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/ to https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/drivers/ is not quick enough also it prefers docker driver at MacOS.

Seems more people like me as a new joiner we would like to get our local workplace up and run first. I believe some amendment or hints is required to help new user.

The real case is that I would like to setup a deployment with nginx ingress with my local Minikube for testing and I find the localBalance stuck at pending. The resolution needs to destroy the whole Minikube vm and reinstall is not that ideal in my concern.

Therefore, hints the user about the loadBalance issue or vm type or know issue can save a lot of time as it is not all the people know the history or know issue or read all the thread about Minikube. As Minikube is a good project and almost is a good learning playground for anyone I hold my opinion for adding any hints or remark on it.

Moreover, after google introduce https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/skaffold for ensure the local and remote working environment alignment, more and more people install Minikube in their local. It is ready better to have some hints about it.

This should be more general, that you still need to use --vm=true if you want working network...

The docker driver is supposed to be able to limp along using minikube tunnel and such though.

Hey @AlphaWong are you still working on this? I agree that --vm=true would be better as it is more generic.

Hey @AlphaWong this PR has been quiet for a few months now, so I'm going to close it for now. Feel free to reopen whenever you have a chance to take a look!
