Can't get Operator to start on Minikube / 1.15.0

I get the following errors for the drupal-operator pod, which is stuck in a CrashLoopBackOff:

{
  "level": "error",
  "ts": 1563824078.4568,
  "logger": "kubebuilder.source",

}

and:

Running Minikube 1.2.0 locally, with Kubernetes 1.15.0.

Looks like it's related this issue: https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk/issues/183 — could be an order of operations thing.

I had to first apply the CRD:

kubectl apply -f deploy/crds/drupal_v1alpha1_drupal_crd.yaml

Then run the command in the README to deploy the operator:

kubectl apply -f deploy/

And now it seems the operator is running correctly.
