Make kubeconfig for WSL
When running Minikube on Windows and using WSL with kubectl to access it, generate the kubconfig file for the WSL running the following commands:
1
cp -R /mnt/c/Users/YOUR-WINDOWS-USER/.minikube/ca.crt /home/YOUR-LINUX-USER/.kube/minikube-certs/
2
cp -R /mnt/c/Users/YOUR-WINDOWS-USER/.minikube/client.crt /home/YOUR-LINUX-USER/.kube/minikube-certs/
3
cp -R /mnt/c/Users/YOUR-WINDOWS-USER/.minikube/client.key /home/YOUR-LINUX-USER/.kube/minikube-certs/
4
cp -R /mnt/c/Users/YOUR-WINDOWS-USER/.kube/config /home/YOUR-LINUX-USER/.kube/minikube
5
sed -i -e 's/C\:\\Users\\YOUR-WINDOWS-USER\\.minikube\\/\/home\/YOUR-LINUX-USER\/.kube\/minikube-certs\//g' /home/YOUR-LINUX-USER/.kube/minikube
