 Now you can 'build' against the storage inside minikube. which is instantly accessible to kubernetes cluster.

 This is because minikube VM is stuck behind a proxy that rewrites HTTPS responses to contain its own TLS certificate. The [solution](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/3613#issuecomment-461034222) is to install the proxy certificate into a location that is copied to the VM at startup, so that it can be validated.
