<p>I am running minikube using the instructions at </p>

<p><a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/hello-minikube/" rel="noreferrer">https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/hello-minikube/</a></p>

<p>I started minikube:</p>

<pre><code>$ minikube start --vm-driver=hyperkit
</code></pre>

<p>and verified that it is successfully running.</p>

<p>I am running 'Docker Community Edition' version 18.06.1-ce-mac73.</p>

<pre><code>$ minikube ssh
</code></pre>

<p>is working fine.</p>

<p>However when I do</p>

<pre><code>$ docker ps
</code></pre>

<p>on my mac os host, it doesn't show any containers. However, when I do</p>

<pre><code>$ docker ps 
</code></pre>

<p>after doing minikube ssh, I see about 20 containers.</p>

<p>So, where are the docker containers really running? Why does docker ps not show any containers on my mac?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>You can use the following command to configure your Docker Host address:</p>

<pre><code>eval $(minikube docker-env)
</code></pre>

<p>Then, when you run <code>docker ps</code>, you should see your containers. Read more <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/minikube/" rel="noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
