I’m having an issue with my AWX instance.

I recently had an disk space warning trigger so I pruned some of the images on the system.

After I completed that task, I had to reboot the system due to some performance issues and once that was completed I went on to start my instance of minikube.

I was greeted with an error regarding expired cluster certificates so I resolved that. Started the cluster and that went fine.

I ran a kubectl get all -A command to verify my pods were still running and none of them are there.

Any ideas?

I’m running Minikube version 1.25.1

Just an FYI - I updated the version of Minikube to version 1.30.1 as it seems there’s an issue with 1.25.1

Without error codes it can be tough to specify but most probably the core images are deleted…  
Please check the present images which needs for pods to be running and they are recognised by the minikube.  
Also check the volume directory with which the images were running initially.

I’ve attached a error log that prompted this issue. These are the events that occurred:

1. Alerted to disk space issue. Logged on to the system and then connected to the minikube cluster via SSH (minikube ssh) and then removed some stale images that were taking up disk space (docker image prune -a)
2. Rebooted to system
3. Logged in via SSH. Start the cluster (minikube start) and then got the error that is attached in this discussion.
4. To resolve the cert error I logged into the minkube cluster (minikube ssh) and simply renamed the cert folder /var/lib/minikube/certs to /var/lib/minikube/certs.bak
5. Ran minikube stop and then minikube start. At which point I noticed my AWX pods were missing.
