Kubernetes-101, Chapter 1, "Instructions for Minikube" Fail #48

Closed muddyexport closed 1 year ago

muddyexport commented 1 year ago

I purchased the Kubernetes-101 book via Amazon via your link several months ago and then I contracted COVID and it lingering effects. So I am just now running through the book.
I use a MacBook Pro, 2019 running Ventura 13.3.1., 32 Gb DDR4, Radeon Pro 55600 -8Gb. I use Virtual Box 7.0 and, recently, Parallels newest version to support Windows. (Retired Programmer 42+ years OTJ now helping out family and friends with computer issues for free.) Following the instructions to install minikube it failed with a notification to use VirtualBox 5.6 and the 3 GitHub issues listed that basically said the same thing as the install fail notification upon examination.
I deleted minikube, kubectl, and VirtualBox. Shutdown to a cold boot and then followed the instructions again with the same issue resulting. So, I deleted all again, hard boot and this time use curl instead of brew to install the three packages. Same thing. (I know that was a "if x ='1' then move '1' to x" solution but I thought what the heck, stranger things have happened.) I am now thinking that this obviously worked at the writing date in 2021 so it must be a time and versioning bug.
I went to the Kubernetes K8s minikube start page and followed the instruction but this time I used Parallels with the minikube start as my VM and it worked.
At this point I thought about redoing using the start and the --VirtualBox option but I was so happy to have a working system and to be able to continue with the book that I said I'd try that at a later date. Just thought this might be something to incorporate in a revision. However-- One caveat: All of this could be the way I have setup my MacBook. Up until about 2 years prior to my retirement, my work involved IBM iron and Microsoft. Mac and Linux were really only used after 4/1/2016 with regularity. So a big block of salt. Big fan of you vids and always look forward to the next installment. Kudos!

Correction: Radeon 5500 not 55600. Fat fingered.
