I run the minikube on my macos, and minikube container use the minikube network, check below:

$ docker network ls
NETWORK ID     NAME       DRIVER    SCOPE
906776761e62   bridge     bridge    local
89afa32d0810   host       host      local
b7cc12043647   minikube   bridge    local
4f7dca22f5b6   none       null      local

$ docker network inspect b7cc12043647

    }

and I also know docker on macos is running in Docker Desktop(linux VM), but now how can I use macos bridge connect to the linux VM?

Docker doesn’t provide you a way to connect to the hyperkit virtual machine; It’s custom built to only run docker. You generally should not have any reason to connect directly to it, but if you do, you can use this workaround from Justin Cormack:

Thanks for your response. the reason is I want to access the dashboard GUI. so I need to access it.

You should be able to do that via minikube - they have docs on how to access apps that have been deployed:

I tried before ask this question. minikube tunnel will get stuck there. on my macos.
