How to connect Minikube on Hyperkit on MacBook

Question

I'm trying to connect to Hyperkit to check containers running on this VM.

All I'm getting now is [screen is terminating]

Here is what I do:

MacBook-Pro-Karol:  ~
→ minikube start --driver=hyperkit
😄  minikube v1.12.3 na Darwin 10.15.6
✨  Using the hyperkit driver based on user configuration
👍  Starting control plane node minikube in cluster minikube
🔥  Creating hyperkit VM (CPUs=2, Memory=4000MB, Disk=20000MB) ...
🐳  preparing Kubernetes v1.18.3 on Docker 19.03.12...
🔎  Verifying Kubernetes components...
🌟  Enabled addons: default-storageclass, storage-provisioner
🏄  Ready! kubectl is configured to be used with "minikube".

MacBook-Pro-Karol:  ~
→ sudo screen /Users/karol/.minikube/machines/minikube/tty
Password:
[screen is terminating]

MacBook-Pro-Karol:  ~
→ screen ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/vms/0/tty
[screen is terminating]

Cannot exec '/Users/karol/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/vms/0/tty': Permission denied

→ sudo screen ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/vms/0/tty
Password:
[screen is terminating]

Cannot exec '/Users/karol/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/vms/0/tty': Operation not permitted

Any help would be appreciated.

You can use minikube ssh to login in to VM that minikube runs in:

Log into or run a command on a machine with SSH; similar to ‘docker-machine ssh’.

minikube ssh [flags]

and then use docker ps to check the running containers inside this VM:

$ docker ps  | grep kube-api
