How do I ssh into the VM for Minikube?

Question

What is the username/password/keys to ssh into the Minikube VM?

Answer 1

docker/tcuser is the username/password to access to it , and it's also an straight way.

if you just want to master the control platform, then minikube ssh is a quick way to login.

Answer 2

I too wanted to login without the Minikube command. I found that it drops the SSH key it generates into ~/.minikube/machines//id_rsa.

My machine was named the default "minikube", and therefore I could do:

ssh -i ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/id_rsa docker@$(minikube ip)

Answer 3

Getting user and password for minikube in Mac.

cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json

Loggin on SSH

ssh -i ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/id_rsa docker@$(minikube ip)

Answer 4

For windows hyper-v the answer was

• open "Hyper-V Manager"

• right click on the "minikube" VM

• user "root"

There was no password.. that got me in.

Answer 5

minikube ssh -v 7

It will show you the output where you can see the full SSH command

/usr/bin/ssh -F /dev/null -o PasswordAuthentication=no -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o LogLevel=quiet -o ConnectionAttempts=3 -o ConnectTimeout=10 -o ControlMaster=no -o ControlPath=none docker@127.0.0.1 -o IdentitiesOnly=yes -i ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/id_rsa -p 56290

You can use the Minikube binary for this, minikube ssh.
