Hyper-v and VirtualBox conflict in Dockers with Minikube

I also tried running minikube with Hyper-V driver, but also get this error:

There is an explicit warning about that HyperV and vswitch situation in their docs: https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/blob/v0.28.2/docs/drivers.md#hyperv-driver

Although in minikube's defense, it also does say right at the end the URL one should go to in order to read about the --hyperv-virtual-switch flag one should provide in addition to --vm-driver=hyperv.

Navigating to that linked docker page, it even provides a step-by-step with screenshots example of how to accomplish that.


Next steps solved my problem:

> minikube start --vm-driver=hyperv -v 9999

If there is another error such

Error: [HYPERV_NO_VSWITCH] create: precreate: no External vswitch found. A valid vswitch must be available for this command to run

Just create a switch manually.
