  3. echo “$(<kubectl.sha256) kubectl” | sha256sum --check

Retrieving the external IP for external access

    -o jsonpath="{.items…status…loadBalancer…ingress[0].ip}"

In the minikube documentation, you can find how to expose/access services that use a load balancer - Accessing apps | minikube

minikube tunnel runs as a process, creating a network route on the host to the service CIDR of the cluster using the cluster’s IP address as a gateway. The tunnel command exposes the external IP directly to any program running on the host operating system.

So, just run minikube tunnel?

I tested with microk8s and it works.
