Automated Docker port mapping for minikube
minikube can (almost) be used as a drop-in replacement for Docker Desktop. One of the drawbacks of doing so is that the
published ports from the containers running in minikube VM are only accessible through the host-only adapter associated
with minikube VM. This project aims to mimic
the Docker Desktop port mapping feature, by
automatically creating forwarding proxies from localhost to minikube IP for published ports.
