The above error is what I am seeing, when trying to install Jenkins on a minikube cluster. I am using this link and following along: https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/kubernetes/

appreciate any ideas.

Solution

I tried with minikube with virtualbox and that worked out of the box. But, wanted to get docker working, which I wasn't able to.

Finally, I deleted everything (even reinstalled ubuntu) and re-setup k8s cluster with latest k8s version (before i tried with --version=1.19.0 of k8s)

I used: minikube start --driver=docker. and then followed the official jenkins install with helm3, that too latest, lts –
