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.

Research direction
Investigate how the VM IP is assigned by examining the minikube start command in `cmd/minikube/cmd/start.go` and the machine driver code in `pkg/minikube/machine/`. Look for existing configuration options for the IP in `pkg/minikube/constants/constants.go`. Check the issue comments for any proposed solutions or related PRs. Understand the networking layer to determine where a user supplied IP could be injected.
