Minikube unable to start (restart from scratch)

I was recently working through some Kubernetes tutorials and noticed my minikube instance wouldn't start.

Some errors I noticed in my terminal when this happened included:

• GUEST_SSH_CERT_NOT_FOUND
• StartHost failed, but will try again
• Error getting config for native Go SSH

I'm not sure what the issue was, but I decided to start my minikube from scratch to see if that would get things up and running again.

Note: If you're concerned about completely wiping out your local cluster, you'll want to do a little more research into another solution.

docker system prune // Clear out unused images/containers etc. within Docker
minikube delete // Delete the local minikube cluster
minikube start --driver=docker // Starts new Kubernetes cluster using the Docker drive

Minikube started running properly after running the above commands.
