steps for determine ingress ip and port does not work for minikube on Mac

[binchenX]

Following instructions regarding how to get the host and IP for the ingress 1 does not work for in minikube environment (see below) for me.

 export INGRESS_PORT=$(kubectl -n istio-system get service istio-ingressgateway -o jsonpath='{.spec.ports[?(@.name=="http2")].nodePort}')
export INGRESS_HOST=$(minikube ip)

It will give you ingress host and port with something like 192.168.59.100:31873 and curl it will

$curl -v  http://192.168.59.100:31873/productpage
*   Trying 192.168.59.100...
* TCP_NODELAY set

However, if I follow the steps listed in the official minikbue doc,

Notably, for IP using the EXTERNAL-IP column, instead of using 'minikube IP'

To find the routable IP, run this command and examine the EXTERNAL-IP column:

kubectl get services balanced
Your deployment is now available at <EXTERNAL-IP>:8080

Noticed that this is the exact same instruction for other platforms as listed in 1.

export INGRESS_HOST=$(kubectl -n istio-system get service istio-ingressgateway -o jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip}')
export INGRESS_PORT=$(kubectl -n istio-system get service istio-ingressgateway -o jsonpath='{.spec.ports[?(@.name=="http2")].port}')
export SECURE_INGRESS_PORT=$(kubectl -n istio-system get service istio-ingressgateway -o jsonpath='{.spec.ports[?(@.name=="https")].port}')

And that instruction will give me the result I expect:

➜  ~ curl http://localhost:80/productpage

Not sure if there is something peculiar about my setup or this is a mistake on the doc but seems minikube can use same instructions as "other platforms", at least in my environment..

A few other Minikube related issues: https://github.com/istio/istio.io/issues/9340 and https://github.com/istio/istio.io/issues/8286.

Running through the scenario: Using the Docker hypervisor driver (VMware and hyper kit have issues (This VM is having trouble accessing https://k8s.gcr.io and istio fails to install as it can't pull the images)

When using mk tunnel: service/istio-ingressgateway LoadBalancer 10.100.218.72 127.0.0.1 15021:31939/TCP,80:30771/TCP,443:30942/TCP,31400:32513/TCP,15443:30881/TCP 9m5s When not: service/istio-ingressgateway LoadBalancer 10.100.218.72 <pending> 15021:31939/TCP,80:30771/TCP,443:30942/TCP,31400:32513/TCP,15443:30881/TCP 12m

If using the tunnel: http://127.0.0.1:80/productpage works. The values are determined using the flow where an external IP is defined which it is.

The old non mk tunnel ip/port does not seem to work.

I am able to run things with a virtual box VM similarly. It does have a warning about using a more preferred driver.
