In the previous post, we went through a lot of steps to get Minikube running on the Apple M1 Pro without docker-desktop. Eventually, it was working on a virtual machine with vftool. The problem with this setup is that it would take a lot of effort to get minikube accessible directly from my MacBook.
In the closing words, I already mentioned I had an idea to run Minikube directly on the M1 Pro. In a programming project, I needed an etcd and Kubernetes setup. I already used rancher-desktop, rancher-desktop lacked the etcd setup. The rancher-desktop setup is to run Kubernetes as minimal as possible and etcd is not included, so I had the idea to use Minikube and use its internal etcd cluster to connect my golang project against it.
