Introduction – Exiting due to GUEST_PROVISION
So, if you are trying to start the kubernetes tutorial from https://kubernetes.io/fr/docs/setup/learning-environment/minikube and you want to start minikube by the command :
minikube start
Then, you are getting this error :

Running "minikube delete" may fix it: config: please provide an IP address ❌ Exiting due to GUEST_PROVISION: Failed to start host: config: please provide an IP address 😿 If the above advice does not help, please let us know: 👉 https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/new/choose

And, the best way to solve this problem is to run the following command. Also you can find information on Website minikube.sigs.k8s.io
If you are running with docker you will find on https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/drivers/docker/ what i have done is to delete the last minkube cluster and rerun with the command specify the docker :
minikube delete
You will get :

And then :
minikube start --driver=docker
This is working :
