Please provide the following details:

Environment:

Minikube version (use minikube version): minikube version: v0.22.2
OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release): Mac Sierra 10.12.6
VM Driver (e.g. cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep DriverName): virtualbox
ISO version (e.g. cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep -i ISO or minikube ssh cat /etc/VERSION): minikube-v0.23.4.iso
Install tools:
Others:

What happened:

I am trying to set up a mirror-registry: https://docs.docker.com/registry/recipes/mirror/, and it works fine when I set this up in local docker. I can test this mirror-registry by docker pull <image>.

However, when I want to test this in minikube, I find that it is not so straightforward. More specifically, I need to configure docker daemon (inside of minikube) to point to my mirror registry. I tried running minikube start --registry-mirror "xxx" --insecure-registry "yyy" and then minikube ssh & docker info, which doesn't show any of the setttings configured. I also tried to update ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json directly, followed by minikube start to pick up the change. This time, the minikube ssh & docker log shows that insecure-registry is updated, but still registry-mirror is not.

I'd like to know what is the correct way to set up these two options?

To set up mirror-registry,

minikube ssh
sudo mkdir -p /etc/docker

{
  "registry-mirrors": ["xxx"]
}
EOF
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart docker

I'm trying to set this up. What are your "xxx" and "yyy" values? Neither host.docker.internal (from the Docker docs) or gateway.docker.internal:3129 from my instance work as either of those.
