Minikube: hyperkit: IP address never found in dhcp leases file Temporary Error: Could not find an IP address for <mac>

[colangelo]

Hi,
minikube does not start on my mac, I tried multiple times to remove and reinstall Docker Desktop and docker-machine-driver-hyperkit without solving the problem.
It's not related to version 1.0.1, because the problem was present also with version 1.0.0 and maybe also with previous versions that I haven't tested.

When I lanch minikube the /usr/local/bin/docker-machine-driver-hyperkit process appears in the process list, does not use CPU, and it's still present for some time after the command exited.

Can you help me?

The exact command to reproduce the issue:

minikube stop; minikube delete ; rm -rf ~/.minikube
minikube config set vm-driver hyperkit
minikube start -v 10

The full output of the command that failed:

This is a duplicate of #1926 - the solution is to upgrade your hyperkit driver:

curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/docker-machine-driver-hyperkit && sudo install -o root -g wheel -m 4755 docker-machine-driver-hyperkit /usr/local/bin/

Then run minikube delete && minikube start --vm-driver=hyperkit to recreate your VM.

If this is still broken, please re-open the bug, and include the output of:

ls -la $(which docker-machine-driver-hyperkit)

I will make sure we provide a more user friendly error message for this case. Thanks!

[colangelo]

I've tried what you suggest many times, but I'm still having the exact same issue.

$ ls -la $(which docker-machine-driver-hyperkit)
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root wheel 27785684 May 15 19:17 /usr/local/bin/docker-machine-driver-hyperkit*

[tstromberg]

Thanks for the update! Do you mind providing updated output for minikube start --alsologtostderr -v=8 as well as the contents of /var/db/dhcpd_leases?

The newer version of the hyperkit driver (which you appear to be on) should log a bit more information on what DHCP entries it finds in that file, which would be very useful here.

[tstromberg]

Regrettably, there isn't enough information in this issue to make it actionable, and a long enough duration has passed, so this issue is likely difficult to replicate. If you can provide any additional details, such as:

• The exact command line used
• The full output of the command
• The full output of "minikube logs"

Please feel free to do so at any point. Thank you for sharing your experience!

[snoopdouglas]

This might be a naive suggestion to the source of the problem here, but on my Mojave install there is no /var/db/dhcpd_leases. There is, however, /var/db/dhcpclient/leases.

[tstromberg]

If you are running into this, please share the output of:

docker-machine-driver-hyperkit version (it should say v1.3.0+)

and:

minikube start -v=7

Thanks!

and like other folks in this thread, I don't have a /var/db/dhcp_leases file

[colangelo]

@rkrdo Are you using a vpn at the same time, or have a vpn client installed?
In my case the problem is probably related to some weird interaction between minikube and vpn software.
But for me it's tricky to determine because it's inconsistent, or at least i didn't recognize a partern yet.

[tyagi]

Same with me too. Missing /var/db/dhcpd_leases file on my mac.

Note:

• I can start Minikube using Virtualbox.
• I do have Cisco AnyConnect software installed for connecting to VPN but I am not using it when starting Minikube.
• Laptop is company managed as in few policies are in place like Siri being unavailable.

Some digging I did (if it helps) -

• Function GetIPAddressByMACAddress() tries to get a IP Address for the assigned MAC address by reading it from file. File's path is hardcoded in LeasesPath.
• Creating a dummy touch /var/db/dhcpd_leases doesn't help either. New exception after adding a dummy file is Temporary Error: could not find an IP address for 32:99:f0:57:d3:7a
• Not able to start a dhcp server on mac (using bootp) either [This is most probably my fault for not doing it right]

Please let me know if you need any other information to fix this issue, happy to help. I can also voluntary to fix this issue once we can identify the root cause.

@colangelo thank you for the suggestion! it turned out it to be Little Snitch that was causing preventing minikube-darwin-amd64 from creating/writing to /var/db/dhcpd_leases

[colangelo]

Thanks @rkrdo, good to know!

I also have Little Snitch installed, and most of the times i have no issues, but sometimes especially a few months ago, if i'd recently connected or disconnetted from the vpn i was getting that error.

My opinion is that this issue is probably related to one ore more third party software that interact with the network stack, and interact badly with minikube's dhcp (or hyperkit's).

[tstromberg]

Update: This issue is still possible, but minikube v1.4 now retries the creation process, so you are much less likely to see the problem in the wild. That said, there are still programs like "Little Snitch" that may interfere, so I am leaving this open.

[tstromberg]

Also adding flake tag because this issue is the source of test flakes:

https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube-builds/logs/4980/HyperKit_macOS.txt

[cequencer]

I am also have this identical issue just to reflect that I am using the latest and greatest. I did not know where to file my issue in the beginning, so I landed my issue here:
https://github.com/machine-drivers/docker-machine-driver-hyperkit/issues/15

[tstromberg]

Now that we have great output for our test failures, I have a theory: with a modern hyperkit driver: once you've setup 253 VM's, you will hit this failure condition. Basically:

• The DHCP server (bootpd) is allocated to only provide 253 IP's
• The hyperkit driver generates a unique MAC address based on the VM's unique identifier
• bootpd preserves the last lease for every MAC address seen

My suggested workaround:

Once the lease count goes over a certain limit (>240), the driver could check if bootpd is running, and if not, flush expired leases.

It's worth noting that bootpd is only typically active for just long enough to start a hyperkit VM.

[tstromberg]

Example: https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube-builds/logs/5584/HyperKit_macOS.txt

[sshambar]

I encountered this error, but after some digging I discovered in my case the cause was bootpd being disabled (I had installed the ISC dhcpd at some point). Running the following resolved the issue:

sudo launchctl enable system/com.apple.bootpd

[davix]

Hi I'm running the same issue and I don't have "Little Snitch" or bootpd installed.
Any workaround?

I have solved by clear this configuration and recreate minikube:
minikube delete
minikube start --vm-driver=hyperkit

[tstromberg]

We still see this from time to time in our integration tests. As best as I can tell, it's reflective of a class of bugs with VM startup in hyperkit, but all attempts to reliably replicate it have failed.

[jaydarius]

minikube: v1.6.2
Darwin: 10.14.6
hyperkit: v0.20190201-11-gc0dd46

I experienced this same issue.

Resolution was enabling my company VPN through "Pulse Secure" app.

[nickwilmes]

Seeing same issue with a fresh install of docker for mac and minikube. It seems to be consistent (I tried uninstalling and reinstalling at least 5 times and got the same error each time). Also using mohave and do have a company VPN software installed if that is the cause (f5 Big-IP edge client).

[zarenner]

We're hitting this on the Azure Pipelines macOS images, either 10.14 or 10.15.

One curiosity is that multiple times I've tested this, the first couple runs work fine, but then this error reproduces 100% of the time after that. That seems like it sort of meshes with @tstromberg's theory that a lease limit is being hit... but AFAIK those hosted VMs should be completely isolated so that's really weird. Could just be a coincidence.

[akram]

I faced the issue also, and solved it by:

• disabling internet sharing in OSX (I don't know if it helped solving)
• editing the /var/db/dhcpd_leases and changed the entry named "minishift" by setting the fields hw_address=1,32:76:8c:29:47:3f and identifier=1,32:76:8c:29:47:3f to the mac address specified in the error message

Same issue, same configuration as @nickwilmes except Catalina. As a workaround, the virtualbox driver seems to be working (thx @fezho)

[Tony080]

I also met the issue when I connected with my Cisco AnyConnect VPN. Resolved by disconnect the VPN.

[winhung]

Apparently this was caused by the McAfee Total Protection that i have installed on my macbook (Catalina v10.15.3). Disabling the Firewall function, resolved this issue.

[rodrigc]

@tstromberg I encountered the same problem on macOS Catalina 10.15.4 :

Temporary Error: open /var/db/dhcpd_leases: no such file or directory

On my machine, I had installed the following from homebrew:

• brew install docker
• brew install docker-machine
• brew install docker-machine-driver-hyperkit
• brew install hyperkit

to work around the problem, I uninstalled everything:

• brew uninstall docker
• brew uninstall docker-machine
• brew uninstall docker-machine-driver-hyperkit
• brew uninstall hyperkit

Then I Installed Docker Desktop for Mac from here:
https://hub.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-mac/

After doing that, I had:

I did not install docker-machine or docker-machine-driver-hyperkit.
It looks like Docker Desktop for Mac includes hyperkit.

At this point I was able to start docker containers and did not have the issue with the missing /var/db/dhcpd_leases file.

[priyawadhwa]

Is anybody still seeing this issue with the latest release (v1.9.2)?

[colangelo]

Yes, me, and I guess many others that commented this issue.
Nothing changed in the latest releases, at least for me.
The only way that I have to make it work is to reboot, and then start minikube before starting the VPN.
Once I start the VPN, there is no way to have minikube start until I reboot: disconnecting the VPN, executing minikube delete, etc. do not fix the problem, at least for me.

[tstromberg]

If you get this error, please try --driver=docker as a workaround: particularly if you are a VPN user!

In the end, there is not a whole lot more we can do about this particular error, as it is internal to hyperkit. Two observations I've had are:

• This error can be related to Internet Sharing (hyperkit uses the DHCP server from it)
• This error can happen if two VM's are started simultaneously. We've now prevented this in the minikube code base.

I'm going to leave this open as a long-term support issue, as users are likely to hit it for years to come.

@winhung have your mcafee team create a rule in the firewall:

Rule Action: | Allow
-- | --
Direction: | Either
Connection type: | All types (Wired,Wireless,Virtual)
Protocol: | UDP/IPv4
Local port: | 67-68
Remote port: | 67-68

I tried several times this issue exists when you first create ingress service on the minikube
Its not particular to any of the minikube driver setup.

I know my solution would not be a best choice but i worked a several times using different virtual machines like vritualbox, hyperkit and Docker

Here's my solution
1) Delete the minikube from any of the virtual machine you are running
2) Install helm using exact same instruction given in the https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-ingress-controller/installation/installation-with-helm/
3) Start the minikube using any vertual machine ( minikube start --vm-driver='driver')
4) apply your nginx ingress service using kubectl.

I believe this solution would work for sure.
Heres what i tried for every vm

Looks like for me it's solved.
Running on macOS 10.15.6 (19G2021) and minikube v1.12.3 and I'm not experiencing the problem anymore, while before on my machines it was failing almost 100% of the times.

On Catalina (10.15.6) I'm not seeing a dhcpd_leases file written, and so the loop never completes -- I can of course write that file, to bump the loop forward, though it'll never get to a reachable, routed IP address. Firewall tested on and off, internet sharing tested on and off.

Docker hyperkit did need a bump, homebrew didn't seem to have the right version:

sudo curl https://github.com/machine-drivers/docker-machine-driver-hyperkit/releases/download/v1.0.0/docker-machine-driver-hyperkit -Lo /usr/local/bin/docker-machine-driver-hyperkit

Definitely needed to bump hyperkit (so maybe I made a mistake in my homebrew download):

brew upgrade hyperkit

Seems like there's a long standing issue somewhere in here about setting up networking.

@Downchuck the other alternative is to completely uninstall Homebrew packages of Docker and Hyperkit and instead install Docker Desktop for Mac:

[Downchuck]

@rodrigc there are many alternatives, such as using virtualbox, parallels or installing Docker for Mac. Using an alternative does not address the long standing issues, unless it is demonstrating a fix. If there is a fix in the Docker for Mac implementation it would be very helpful to understand it so as to address the breakdown here.
