Minikube: iso download: write udp client->dns_server:53: write: host is down (little snitch)

[wenlock]

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (choose one):

Please provide the following details:

Environment:

Minikube version (use minikube version):

╰─ minikube version
minikube version: v0.25.2

• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release):
  MacOS High Sierra, v 10.13.4 (17E199), MacBook Pro

• VM Driver (e.g. cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep DriverName):

 cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep DriverName
    "DriverName": "virtualbox",

• ISO version (e.g. cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep -i ISO or minikube ssh cat /etc/VERSION):

 cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep -i ISO
        "Boot2DockerURL": "file:///Users/wenlock/.minikube/cache/iso/minikube-v0.25.1.iso"

• Install tools:
• Others:
  The above can be generated in one go with the following commands (can be copied and pasted directly into your terminal):

minikube version
echo "";
echo "OS:";
cat /etc/os-release
echo "";
echo "VM driver": 
grep DriverName ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json
echo "";
echo "ISO version";
grep -i ISO ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json

What happened:
Tried a fresh install of minikube, so I ran minikube delete and cleared ~/.minikube. I thin upgraded to the latest version of minikube:

curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/v0.25.2/minikube-darwin-amd64 && chmod +x minikube && sudo mv minikube /usr/local/bin/

I thin tried minikube start command, and got the message:

Also, trying to download the ISO manually had issues.

curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/iso/minikube-v0.25.1.iso > ~/.minikube/cache/iso/minikube-v0.25.1.iso
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current

However when you run minikube start, the ISO is not bootable:

What you expected to happen:
minikube start should start a new minikube instance.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
Reset minikube and download latest version, perform a fresh install.

Output of minikube logs (if applicable):
No logs available

Anything else do we need to know:

[wenlock]

Ignore the second part about downloading the iso

curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/iso/minikube-v0.25.1.iso > ~/.minikube/cache/iso/minikube-v0.25.1.iso
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

Turns out I was downloading the image wrong, should be

curl https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/iso/minikube-v0.25.1.iso > ~/.minikube/cache/iso/minikube-v0.25.1.iso

However, when I try to start this time, I get another error

Also tried updating context and trying again:

To fix the kubectl context, run minikube update-context

Experiencing the same thing since updating from .25 to .25.2. Looks like IP categorically is failing. When I get the ISO downloaded it claims it can't SSH into the image, when I can easily netcat/ssh to the exact same IP it shows me.

[DeepakkumarArumugam]

Experiencing the same issue....

[ravenium]

I found a possible solution - it turns out Little Snitch (host firewall) was blocking minikube silently because it didn't have a code signature. If you have anything of that nature, try disabling it for a second then trying to start.

[fatih]

Can confirm @ravenium as well, it was also little snitch for me. Disabling/changing the rules fixed it.

Issues go stale after 90d of inactivity.
Mark the issue as fresh with /remove-lifecycle stale.
Stale issues rot after an additional 30d of inactivity and eventually close.

If this issue is safe to close now please do so with /close.

Send feedback to sig-testing, kubernetes/test-infra and/or fejta.

OS window 10
minikube version minikube version: v0.28.2

the same problem

[tstromberg]

Agreed, the issue here seems to be a local firewall: likely little snitch in this case.

[DPerkunas]

Hmm.. having same issue with Minikube v0.30.0 on Mac OS X. Turned off littlesnitch with no change. What did you guys change in little snitch to make it work?
