I'm not able to pull an image from my local docker registry when I try to create a POD using yaml file. Here are the diagnostic steps taken:

kubectl describe pod <pod name>

error msg: Error while pulling image: Get http://localhost:5001/v1/repositories/hello_world_application/images: dial tcp [::1]:5001: getsockopt: connection refused
