a network Diagram for the VirtualBox

[deepdad]

Please add a network Diagram for the VirtualBox based minikube to the readme.

[afbjorklund]

Would be nice to have, most of it is the standard machine networking (thus #4829)

Basically there is the eth0 (nat) and the eth1 (hostonly), plus loopback and docker.

https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#networkingmodes

https://docs.docker.com/v18.09/network/bridge/

The NAT is mostly used for port forwarding SSH, in order to control the machine VM.

Not sure if this will fit in the README, but should probably be in the documentation...

[medyagh]

This could be added to advanced or reference section of minikube site. if anyone interested to add I would accept to review the PR !

@deepdad ?

[afbjorklund]

@medyagh are there any graph tools available ? or should we just go for the image ?

Previously I've mostly used Graphviz, but I'm not sure how advanced this needs to be...

[afbjorklund]

Nice tools:

• LibreOffice Draw
  https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/draw/

• VRT Network Equipment
  https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions/vrt-network-equipment

Diagram time!

[medyagh]

@afbjorklund

I am open to any tool, if you are asking for tools to edit images, I have used gimp and I liked it. but if you want to draw diagrams, Google Docs Drawing is a easier option doesnt need anyhting to install
but if you are asking for generating pictures from json, I think we could use dot

for example: someoutput | dot -Tpng -o g output.png
