minishift-addons addon helm fails to install with openshift v3.10, still working with openshift 3.9.0

addon helm fails to install with openshift v3.10, still working with openshift 3.9.0

It seams a port configuration issue between 8080 and 8443:

[stirabos@t470s add-ons]$ minishift addons apply helm
-- Applying addon 'helm':..Error applying the add-on: Error executing command 'ssh command error:

While if I start minishift with minishift start --openshift-version v3.9.0 it works.

Same problem, with openshift v3.11

Trying --openshift-version v3.9.0 gives me:

Minishift does not support OpenShift version v3.9.0. You need to use a version >= v3.10.0

don't know a work around for 3.9 but 3.11 works fine using these instructions https://github.com/ocd-scm/ocd-meta/wiki/Minishift#helm-tiller-on-minishift

Another interested party looking for a solution to this issue which is a blocker. Is there any ETA for when this will be working?

Helm will figure out where to install Tiller by reading your Kubernetes configuration file (usually $HOME/.kube/config). This is the same file that kubectl uses. Source: https://helm.sh/docs/using_helm/

In my Minishift add-on script (helm.addon) it's: --env KUBECONFIG=/var/lib/minishift/openshift.local.config/master/admin.kubeconfig Create the file if it does not exists.
