<p>I am trying to setup istio1.5.1 in minicube kubernetes cluster,I'm following the official documentation of Knative for setting up istio without sidecar injection. I;m facing issue with istio ingress gateway service which is showing external ip of ingressgateway service as .
I have gone through other answers posted here as well as many other forums but none of them helped in my case.</p>

<p>Using minikube v1.9.1 with driver=none
helm v2.16.5
kubectl v1.18.0</p>

<p>I am getting the following output for: 
kubectl get pods --namespace istio-system</p>

<p>On describing ingress pod I am getting a warning <strong>Readiness probe failed: HTTP probe failed with statuscode: 503</strong></p>

<p>Can someone help me to solve this issue.
Thanks!</p>

<p>Updating with output from trying out the answer:</p>

<p>kubectl apply -f metallb.yaml</p>

<pre><code>  podsecuritypolicy.policy/controller created

<p>$ kubectl get pods -n metallb-system</p>

<pre><code>  No resources found in metallb-system namespace.
</code></pre>

<p>After applying the yaml file it show that everything is created but I am not getting any pod deployed under metallb-system namespace.</p>

<p>Minikube may not provide external IP or loadbalancer you might have to use <strong>metalLB</strong> in minikube.</p>
