Cannot start minishift on mac Catalina

Question

I tried a couple of time to install uninstall and reinstall openshift on 2 macs with os Catalina 10.15.7 but it never starts.

I read Minishift cannot start in macOS and installed the var as described. but I still get the error below. Did anybody manage to install it on Catalyna and managed to resolve these errors?

kind regards

Markus

It seens a virtualbox configuration error about network access deniying. Try this:

1. Access or create file /etc/vbox/networks.conf (or where your vbox configuration file is located)
2. Change the content to: *0.0.0.0/0 ::/0
