Description

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (choose one): Perhaps Both

Please provide the following details:

Environment: Windows 10 or Mac High Sierra Minikube version (use minikube version): ALL

  • Install tools: choco or homebrew

What happened: Minikube ip changes after stopping and starting it. This is inconsistent as sometimes it doesn't change What you expected to happen: Minikube ip to be configurable How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): minikube start minikube ip minikube delete minikube start minikube ip

As a feature request, I would appreciate it if there was a flag that could specify that IP when you run minikube start.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the codebase to understand how minikube VM IP is currently determined (likely via DHCP or hardcoded), and identify where to add a new startup flag (e.g., ip) to allow setting it explicitly. Check previous related PRs or discussions.
