<p>I recommend you go with QEMU driver which is stable :</p>
<pre><code>minikube start --driver=qemu
</code></pre>
<p>Also, if the driver problem is solved you should investigate using a port-forwarding to access it locally :</p>
<pre><code>kubectl port-forward service/[service_name] 7080:8080
</code></pre>
<p>Then just go to localhost:7080</p>
<p>Or, you can simply execute the following and minikube 'should' take care of it for you :</p>
<pre><code>minikube service [service_name]
</code></pre>

<p>I am facing an issue with running minikube with driver as docker on Macbook M1. There are some network issues that I am running into. I am not able to ping into my minikube from my local machine and hence I whenever i am exposing a service in a nodeport mode, it is not accessible on node IP(i.e., minikube ip with the port extension) from the browser.</p>
<p>I tried changing the driver to hyperkit or virtualbox but it says</p>
<blockquote>
<p>minikube v1.32.0 on Darwin 14.2.1 (arm64)
Using the hyperkit driver based on user configuration
Exiting due to DRV_UNSUPPORTED_OS: The driver 'hyperkit' is not supported on darwin/arm64&quot;</p>

<p>How to solve this issue?</p>

Do you get the same error when using virtualbox instead of hyperkit?

Yes, the exact same error in case of virtualbox too

I am facing an issue with running minikube with driver as docker on Macbook M1. There are some network issues that I am running into. I am not able to ping into my minikube from my local machine and hence I whenever i am exposing a service in a nodeport mode, it is not accessible on node IP(i.e., minikube ip with the port extension) from the browser.

How to solve this issue?
