If you would like to have minikube properly start/restart custom addons, place the addon(s) you wish to be launched with minikube in the .minikube/addons directory. Addons in this folder will be moved to the minikube VM and launched each time minikube is started/restarted.
If you have a request for an addon in minikube, please open an issue with the name and preferably a link to the addon with a description of its purpose and why it should be added. You can also attempt to add the addon to minikube by following the guide at Adding an Addon
Note: If you want to have a look at the default configuration for the addons, see deploy/addons.
