minikube - How do I run an image locally rather than from GCE - kubernetes layman

[Sunny Purewal]

Hey guys,

So I have followed the instructions given to set up minikube. I have an issue however. When I create an image locally I get a "ErrImagePull". I am running docker build and the image is definately present and I can log into the host with minikube ssh and docker run my image. I also see the following errror message:

Back-off pulling image "library/hellojs:latest"

It appears to append with library/ and I can only assume starts looking under GCE. This gentleman has the same issue:

https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/24903

How can I get a local image to run as a pod in minikube?

Cheers guys any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you set:

ImagePullPolicy: Never

This should use the image in the docker cache

[Sunny Purewal]

Thank you very much for your response. Where would I set this policy?

[Warren Strange]

In the manifest (.yaml file) for the pod, rc, etc.

For example:

  containers:

      - name: mycontainer

        image: acme/custom:latest

        imagePullPolicy: Never

If you're using "kubectl run", it generates a manifest for you that happens to have imagePullPolicy set to Always by default. You can use this command to get an imagePullPolicy of "IfNotPresent", which will work for minikube:

kubectl run --image=<container> --generator=run-pod/v1

Hi,

I still get an error... =(

Maybe it's because I'm using kitematic and I'm on a mac ?

Hi,

Neither imagePullPolicy: Never or kubectl run --image=<container> --generator=run-pod/v1, none of them work for me. I am on minikube.

Thanks

Same issues here with minikube and docker 17.03.1-ce on centos 7
Any breakthrough? I'm starting to think the Hello Minikube tutorial here is missing something.
