I minishift myself this weekend.

The point of this post (at this time, anyhow) is to remind myself of the stupid issue I ran in to with the install/deploy of minishift on Fedora 31.  Totally my fault, but not exactly intuitive what I happened to have done incorrectly.  Let's roll...


I had ran through the standard install docs (which were fairly generic) and the following would occur:

$ minishft start
...
  ...
     ...
-- Minishift VM will be configured with ...
   Memory:    8 GB
   vCPUs :    2
   Disk size: 40 GB
-- Starting Minishift VM .... FAIL E0118 20:17:12.659441  145997 start.go:494] Error starting the VM: Error creating new host: dial tcp: missing address. Retrying.
Error starting the VM: Error creating new host: dial tcp: missing address

I had install the driver using
$ sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.16.2/docker-machine-Linux-x86_64 -o /usr/local/bin/docker-machine-driver-kvm
$ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-machine-driver-kvm

I then found an independent blog detailing methods for many different variants and I found the one for fedora/centos (thanks ComputingForGeeks - link below)

HomeLab - Sophos XG SSL VPN and Comcast

Ugh... Comcast.  This sucked particularly much as this was my first attempt to configure a VPN back to my HomeLab and therefore was not sure what options I should have *known* would work.  Anywho... Sophos SSL VPN uses 8443 by default.  I spent a few hours trying to get through the config on the Sophos and my Linux client.  Nothing was working. For giggles I changed the Sophos to use 443, and then updated my client on my Linux workstation.  And suddenly it all works.  Fowk.  Tried 8443 again.  No love. I don't want to utilize port 443 as I intend to actually host some web apps for testing.  So, I have finalized on an "alternate" port which had to be configured on both the Sophos and the Linux client. I'l be doing a better write-up about this later.  I still need to figure out how to configure all this via the Gnome Network-Manager GUI.
