If the host running the CRC has complex name resolution settings, you can start the CRC by specifying a nameserver.

Launch the CodeReady Containers by specifying the name server

Started the OpenShift cluster

To access the cluster, first set up your environment by following 'crc oc-env' instructions.
Then you can access it by running 'oc login -u developer -p developer https://api.crc.testing:6443'.
To login as an admin, run 'oc login -u kubeadmin -p duduw-yPT9Z-hsUpq-f3pre https://api.crc.testing:6443'.
To access the cluster, first set up your environment by following 'crc oc-env' instructions.

You can now run 'crc console' and use these credentials to access the OpenShift web console.
