General Discussions

When starting minikube I get the following error in the startup msgs and thus
the container is not usable for me.
…
:red_exclamation_mark: Failing to connect to https://registry.k8s.io/ from inside the minikube VM
…

I am not behind a proxy or VPN.

– machine env
- minikube (v1.36.0)
- linux (Fedora 42)
- JDK 17
