Expose Server Nginx via Minikube installed with Virtual Box in bridge mode

Question

in short, for a project i should expose an nginx server with minikube installed via virtual box and i should expose it in bridge mode but unfortunately the server is always exposed via the vbnet0 virtual interface, if i try to manually modify in the virtual box network settings, minikube gets stuck and I can't do anything anymore. Do you have any advice? Thanks so much for the support, Best regards, Corrado

Answer 1

There are two ways to consider here:

• Use minikube start --driver=virtualbox with some additional steps. Notice the Virtualbox part of the answer.

• Use minikube start --driver=none on the VM alongside with nginx-ingress like described here.

Both ways are explained in detail by a great community member @DawidKruk. You can find both cases below:

• Expose Kubernetes cluster to Internet

• Starting Minikube with Docker driver and bind it to host network
