Not sure this suppose to work with minikube, it fails with below error.

@veeramarni This is simply the kubectl binary on alpine... So it depends on how minikube is setup to auth/connect. It looks like it is trying to access the certs on the container and it can't access them from within the container. Have you tried to do a -v to mount those certs so the container has access at the desired path?

@veeramarni I haven't heard back from you and this should be possible. Furthermore, I like the support for kubernetes with the local docker install FAR better than minikube now, so I'm going to close this out. If you still would like to pursue, please reply back.
