can't start minikube in ec2 shows "X Sorry, Kubernetes v1.18.0 requires conntrack to be installed in root's path"

Question

Hi I am trying to start minikube that's why I ran

minikube start --vm-driver=none

But it shows in the console the below lines:

minikube v1.9.2 on Amazon 2 (Xen/amd64) Using the none driver based on user configuration X Sorry, Kubernetes v1.18.0 requires conntrack to be installed in root's path

Note that i have installed kubectl minikube and docker.

Please help me to sort out this issues.

Solution 1

I had the same issue. Install 'conntrack' with

sudo apt install conntrack

Then continue to start your minikube:

sudo minikube start --vm-driver=none

Solution 2

Execute following commands

yum install conntrack start minikube as root start --driver=none

Solution 3

TL;DR : update minkikube

You need minkikube not older than v1.9.0-beta

It's a known issue

There is a known issue #7179 reproduced in 1.18

Fixed in Pull Request #7180, the latest commit is 1273d4f:

install conntrack for github action integration tests #7180

Minimal minikube ver that contain commit 1273d4f is v1.9.0-beta:

git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/
cd minikube
git describe 1273d4f8e756ac5eca89d94c449450fb2da21a5a
>v1.9.0-beta.2-16-g1273d4f8e

Explanation of git describe

Explanation of git describe is here

The command is useful for cases such as:

• which tag is closest to the commit? (git describe <sha>)
• which tag contains commit? (git describe <sha> --contains)
• which branch or annotated tag is closest to the commit? (git describe <sha>--all)

Solution 4

On CentOS 7, run following command:

yum install conntrack

And don't forget to have at least 2 (v)CPUs

Solution 5

You need to install conntrack:

apt-get install conntrack -y

and then you can run the minikube start command again

minikube start --vm-driver=none

make sure you do it as a root user or prefix sudo.
