How do I ssh into the VM for Minikube?


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


Minikube uses boot2docker as its base image, so the default SSH login to the VM ends up being docker:tcuser1.


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)
