title: Why does docker ps not show my minikube's docker containers?

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