I try to run minikube v0.22.1 and kubectl v1.7.5 on MacOS with Virtualbox.
$ minikube start
Starting local Kubernetes v1.7.5 cluster...
Starting VM...
Getting VM IP address...
Moving files into cluster...
Setting up certs...
Connecting to cluster...
Setting up kubeconfig...
Starting cluster components...
Kubectl is now configured to use the cluster.
$ minikube version
minikube version: v0.22.1
$ minikube status
minikube: Running
cluster: Running
kubectl: Correctly Configured: pointing to minikube-vm at 192.168.99.100
However all kubectl commands fail with "connection refused - did you specify the right host or port?"
$ kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"7", GitVersion:"v1.7.5", GitCommit:"17d7182a7ccbb167074be7a87f0a68bd00d58d97", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2017-08-31T19:32:26Z", GoVersion:"go1.9", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"darwin/amd64"}
The connection to the server 192.168.99.100:8443 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?
The solution proposed here (sudo ifconfig vboxnet0 up) did not help, the vboxnet0 interface is up.
Any ideas or suggestions are highly appreciated.
If you run
kubectl config get-contexts
Do you get the following?
CURRENT NAME CLUSTER AUTHINFO NAMESPACE
* minikube minikube minikube
If not that means your kubectl context is not correctly setup. To setup the context correctly run this
kubectl config use-context minikube
You may have it stopped or saved for any reason. sometimes, after you enable/disable addons you may need to restart it.
1) Restart minikube VM, stop it
$ minikube stop
2) Start it again, make sure you assign enough cpu/memory (the following is just an example of how to pass it, you need to adjust it based on available resources in your machine)
$ minikube start --memory=10000 --cpu 4
If this didn't work out, you can do the following that will help you to know more about the underlying cause of problem:
Check minikube status and make sure the status is Running
$ minikube status
Or, check minkube logs:
minikube logs
Finally, if you couldn't fix it, you may need to delete and start it from scratch
$ minikube delete && minikube start

I will just drop this in here in case anyone find this question.
As of right now I don't know the versions of the OP's setup. So I'm going to assume he has the latest version that was available when he posted, which was: 0.22.1
Description
I had a similar issue. The cluster was timing-out irregularly. One moment I got answers using kubectl cluster-info dump another I didn't. Then it worked again, and then it didn't. I found a github bug report with a solution.
Solution
Remove your VirtualBox VM.
Remove the ./minikube folder.
Remove the minikube executable.
Install version 0.19.0.
Verify that minikube is working with: kubectl
Versions
OS: Windows 10 (Home edition)
Minikube bugged version: 0.22.2
Minikube working version: 0.19.0
Kubectl (client): v1.7.0
Kubectl (server): v1.6.0
EDIT:
I kept having some issue with minikube after I posted this original answer. I found something that fixed the issue completely.
It's related to the dynamic memory setting in Hyper-V.
Solution
1. Turn off the hyper-v minikube VM.
2. Go to the VM's settings.
3. Turn off dynamic memory allocation.
4. Assign a decent amount of memory.
5. Save and turn the VM on again.
This should work with any minikube version. See this github issue for progress on an automatated solution
When debugging the minikube commands, e.g.
$ minikube dashboard --loglevel 0 --logtostderr
some proxy issues became visible and could be solved.
I ran into this situation this morning (another Monday!) on MacOS 11.3 with minikube v1.19.0.
I ran minikube status and got the following:
E0503 14:15:43.912005 7308 status.go:412] kubeconfig endpoint: got: 127.0.0.1:64041, want: 127.0.0.1:56537
minikube
type: Control Plane
host: Running
kubelet: Stopped
apiserver: Stopped
kubeconfig: Misconfigured
WARNING: Your kubectl is pointing to stale minikube-vm.
To fix the kubectl context, run `minikube update-context`
Seemed like good advice, so I did run minikube update-context and got this:
🎉 "minikube" context has been updated to point to 127.0.0.1:56537
💗 Current context is "minikube"
After which everything worked like it did on Friday.
After the Linux Security OS patching and reboot we are unable to start kubernetes service received below error.
Error message: The connection to the server 192.168.1.101:8443 received while starting the kubernetes service.
This issue happened due to systemd package got updated during the security patching.
So We did below action to bring up the application On each master nodes
1. Update the /usr/lib/systemd/system/kubelet.service fie by removing the below two lines:
ExecStartPost=/bin/bash -c 'umask 0022; pgrep -x kubelet > /run/kubelet.pid'
ExecStopPost=/bin/bash -c 'rm -f /run/kubelet.pid'
2. Update the /usr/lib/systemd/system/kube-proxy.service fie by removing the below two lines:
ExecStartPost=/bin/bash -c 'umask 0022; pgrep -x kubelet > /run/kubelet.pid'
ExecStopPost=/bin/bash -c 'rm -f /run/kubelet.pid'
3. Run the kube-restart.sh on the master nodes.
4. run the kube-restart.sh on the worker nodes.
Update: I am using minikube version: v1.25.2
The command mentioned in this thread did NOT work:
minikube start --memory=10000 --cpu 4 #this will FAIL
This, however, DID WORK (use cpus instead. I also changed values to show minimum requirement for Docker):
minikube start --memory=1800 --cpus=2 # this will work
minikube start --memory=1800 --cpus 2 # this will also work
minikube delete && minikube start
sudo minikube start --vm-driver=none (start minikube again)
This solved my problem
minikube delete
minikube start
just restarted the container
I have installed OracleVM, and created an Ubuntu machine. I have not tried any major cluster or tried deploying anything, I have started reading about Kubernetes and as an example just tried creating a simple pod. But I am getting host error, can anyone tell me where am I going wrong?
I have tried the simple kubectl run command
The snip of my issue
You need to disable swap on the system for kubelet to work. You can disable swap with sudo swapoff -a and restart kubelet service sudo systemctl restart kubelet
I am trying to create the minikube cluster, but It always fails.
Any suggestions are very welcome:

I had a similar error when setting up Minikube on Mac OS.
When I run the command minikube start I get the error below:
😄 minikube v1.22.0 on Darwin 11.4
✨ Using the vmware driver based on existing profile
👍 Starting control plane node minikube in cluster minikube
🏃 Updating the running vmware "minikube" VM ...
🤦 StartHost failed, but will try again: provision: IP not found for MAC 00:0c:29:41:e9:b9 in DHCP leases

😿 Failed to start vmware VM. Running "minikube delete" may fix it: provision: IP not found for MAC 00:0c:29:41:e9:b9 in DHCP leases
❌ Exiting due to GUEST_PROVISION: Failed to start host: provision: IP not found for MAC 00:0c:29:41:e9:b9 in DHCP leases
The issue was caused by an interruption when I was creating the VMWare VM for Minikube.
I tried fixing it by deleting the existing minikube vm and creating another one using:
minikube delete
minikube start
But then I ran into another issue this time:
Exiting due to DRV_NO_IP: Failed to start host: creating host: create: Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: Machine didn't return an IP after 120 seconds, aborting.
Here's how I fixed it
After multiple research, it's just best to set up minikube with docker driver which will save you all this hassle.
For Mac OS:
If you already have docker installed or docker-compose simply uninstall it using:
brew uninstall docker
brew uninstall docker-compose
Next, install Docker desktop. This will install Docker/Docker Desktop, Docker-compose and other dependencies using:
brew install --cask docker
Next, start the docker engine by opening the Docker application. Afterwhich you can confirm the docker version using:
docker --version
Finally, setup minikube using docker driver:
minikube start --driver=docker
I´m running windows 10 with WSL1 and ubuntu as distrib.
My windows version is Version 1903 (Build 18362.418)
I´m trying to connect to kubernetes using kubectl proxy within ubuntu WSL. I get a connection refused when trying to connect to the dashboard with my browser.
I have checked in windows with netstat -a to see active connections.
If i run kubectl within the windows terminal i have no problem to connect to kubernetes, so the problem is only happening when i try to connect with ubuntu WSL1.
I have also tried to run the following command
kubectl proxy --address='0.0.0.0' --port=8001 --accept-hosts='.*'
... but the connection is refused although i see that windows is listening to the port. Changing port to another port didn´t fix the proble. Disabling the firewall didnt´fix the problem as well.
Any idea ?
First thing to do would be to check if you able to safely talk to your cluster: (kubectl get svc -n kube-system, kubectl cluster-info)
If not check if $HOME/.kube folder was created. If not, run:
gcloud container clusters get-credentials default --region=<your_region>
I've installed docker on Debian 9.3 and created a swarm using 4 computers.
Now I am trying to install Kubernetes locally and am having some trouble getting things to work.
$ uname -a
Linux tma 4.9.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.65-3 (2017-12-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux
I'm trying to follow this guide:
https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/minikube/
I want to use Deb9 since that is what I use in our lab.
I am using KVM as the hypervisor.
Has anyone installed Kubernetes locally via Minikube successfully?
I get the following error: when I issue kubectl cluster-info as sudo and non-sudo
$kubectl cluster-info
Kubernetes master is running at localhost:8080 To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use kubectl cluster-info dump. The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?
I have Minikube running on Debian.
I can reproduce your error if I don't have anything running. Most probably your cluster didn't start, you'll need to debug more.
This is a great Debian 9 + Minikube resource: https://medium.com/linagora-engineering/install-k8s-minikube-on-top-of-kvm-on-debian-9-9cd5b646063c
