Cannot pull image from local repository inside Minikube

I have a local docker repository set up on my local machine (mac). I only have two images stored in there. I'm setting up various containers with Kubernetes definition files and on of my configurations is a replication controller that pulls the image from my repository which works fine. The other is a PetSet which pulls from the same repository but fails. UGH!!!

When I push to my local repository I use:

localhost:5000/image/name:v1

and when I reference the image from my Kubernetes configuration I use:

{local ip addr}:5000/image/name:v1

If I SSH into my Minikube instance and try to manually pull the image I get the following: Error response from daemon: read tcp 10.0.2.15:51958->{my local ip addr}:5000: read: connection reset by peer

This has been working fine until today.

When I start my Minikube VM I add the flag

--insecure-registry={ip addr of my machine}:5000

So far I've tried

• Deleting the minikube and .minikube directory (multiple times)
• Deleting and recreating my local repository
• Completely reinstalling Minikube

I'm currently at a complete loss as to why one image is successfully pulled from the local repository and the other fails.
