Resets virtualbox DHCP leases to ensure that minikube will always take a specific IP.

reset_virtualbox_dhcp_leases.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

function minikube_reset_vbox_dhcp_leases() {

  # Check OS version
case $OSTYPE in
  darwin*)
    VBOX_CONFIG_DIR=Library
    ;;
  linux*)
    VBOX_CONFIG_DIR=.config
    ;;
esac

  # # Reset Virtualbox DHCP Lease Info
  echo "Resetting Virtualbox DHCP Lease Info..."
  kill -9 $(ps aux |grep -i "vboxsvc\|vboxnetdhcp" | awk '{print $2}') 2>/dev/null

  if [[ -f ~/$VBOX_CONFIG_DIR/VirtualBox/HostInterfaceNetworking-vboxnet0-Dhcpd.leases ]] ; then
    rm  ~/$VBOX_CONFIG_DIR/VirtualBox/HostInterfaceNetworking-vboxnet0-Dhcpd.leases
  fi
}

what about git bash with ostype "msys" and "cygwin" (those 2 are usually the same)?

Feel free to update accordingly, my use case is covered and unfortunately have not a msys env to test against.

Why not vboxmanage dhcpserver stop --interface=vboxnet0 at line 17?

Thank you by the way, your snippet helped me a lot! 😄

@GPrimola I think that back then when I initially created this was not that option, but it is so long ago so I can fully recall the details!
