General information

• OS: Linux
• Hypervisor: N/A
• Did you run crc setup before starting it (Yes/No)? Yes
• Running CRC on: Laptop

CRC version

CRC config

# Put `crc config view` output here

Host Operating System

$ crc config view
- consent-telemetry                     : no
- cpus                                  : 16
- disk-size                             : 37
- ingress-http-port                     : 8080
- ingress-https-port                    : 7443
- memory                                : 30302
- pull-secret-file                      : /home/tdancs/Downloads/pull-secret.txt

Steps to reproduce

1. Install latest version of crc
2. Install latest OpenShift Local extension from catalog (v2.1.3)
3. Execute crc setup
4. Attempt to create a new OpenShift Local cluster in Podman Desktop
5. Switch to alternate ports based on comment [BUG] Ingress Https Port value not being used to update kubeconfig during crc start crc#4124 (comment)
6. Start cluster again (success, nothing appears in Podman Desktop)

extra: switching back to 443 and 80 is impossible, the binary enforces ports >=1024

Expected

• Cluster is started with original ports

Actual

• Cluster fails to start with original ports, workaround does not fix the issue, cluster is not visible, crc status reports it as stopped.
• Restarting Podman Desktop shows the cluster once again. Opening cluster details and starting it from UI eventually succeeds

^-- same error for port 80

Is that an extension issue or a CRC one ?
