Unable to create and start a workspace using minikube due to "Server 'theia' in container 'theia-idet0b' not available."

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

I’m trying to follow https://www.eclipse.org/che/docs/che-7/running-che-locally/, using minikube with virtualbox (8192 memory), and I’m stuck on the Error: Failed to run the workspace: "Server 'theia' in container 'theia-idet0b' not available." error when trying to create a workspace. The workspace I’m trying to use is the Spring Boot with petclinic starter.

The docs have been completely revamped. I believe the new URL is this: https://www.eclipse.org/che/docs/che-7/administration-guide/authenticating-users/#authenticating-to-the-che-server-using-openid_authenticating-to-the-che-server
