The issue:

I am following the tutorial here: https://skaffold.dev/docs/quickstart/
After fixing the issues with getting skaffold dev to run** and then running minikube tunnel -p custom in another terminal there is nothing at http://localhost:3000 (thee target site for the example app).

The solution:

  • run: kubectl get service web and manually construct the url from EXTERNAL-IP and the port; OR
  • run: minikube service web --url -p custom where this is done automatically; OR
  • run: minikube service web -p custom where it is done automatically and the default browser is opened at the url
Image

Docs should be updated to reflect both issues (or at least these workarounds if they work in some other setups).

My setup:

  • OS: Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble)
  • minkube: v1.36.0
  • kubectl: v1.33.3
  • skaffold: v2.16.1

** Mentioned in #9712. The workaround is to add trustBuilder: true to the skaffold.yaml.
