You need to add minikube’s ssh key to your ssh agent
ssh-add C:\Users\user\.minikube\machines\minikube\id_rsa
Issues with ssh-add⌗
Cannot use ssh-add, agent not running⌗
Make sure ssh-agent is running
Get-Service ssh-agent | Set-Service -StartupType Automatic
Start-Service ssh-agent
Permissions for ‘C:\Users\user.minikube\machines\minikube\id_rsa’ are too open.⌗
In case you get “Permissions for ‘C:\Users\user\.minikube\machines\minikube\id_rsa’ are too open.” you might need to copy id_rsa to desktop and change permissions
