Can't make everything to work in Minikube

Hola, Juan!

Thanks for trying out our pet project!

I just ran through the setup again and it works for me. Are you using a fresh Minikube cluster? The symptoms you describe sound a bit like the cluster is under memory or CPU pressure. I just created a new cluster in Minikube using cpus: 2, memory: 8192, disk-size: 30g and when everything is installed and running, Kafka, Postgres, and the 4 services, there is still enough resources according to minikube dashboard.

Can you try again, if possible with a fresh Minikube instance? You could use minikube profile to create a new one if you need to keep the existing profile.

Just out of curiosity: which version of Minikube, which OS, which Hypervisor?

Thanks @Harald-U!
Yes, I am using the script provided in reactive/scripts to start minikube etc, so it has 4 CPU and 8GB RAM.

Using minikube 1.6.2, Ubuntu 18, Virtualbox VM.

BTW while I was writing this I started minikube again and now it seems to be working (adding authors and it's showing in frontend).

Do you know why starting again could have fixed the problem?

Juan, thats good news!

Minikube is pushing the limits with a single node. I have the luxury of running it on a notebook with 32 GB of memory so I tend to give 12 to 16 GB to Minikube (during the first start). I also gibe it 4 of my 8 vCPUs.

FYI: minikube 1.6.2, Fedora 30, KVM (virt-manager)

I am going to close this issue. Feel free to contact us again! And thanks for your feedback!!!
