I have a problem trying to use Kubernetes (a container management platform) to pull docker images from my local registry.

The current situation is that I have docker images stored in my docker VM, which is running on address: 192.168.99.103. I am running docker from a Windows machine.

I have an image which i created locally called 'tomcat-test:dockerfile'.

I next create and run a local registry using the following command:

docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart always --name registry registry:2

At this point, I tag the image like so:

docker tag tomcat-test:dockerfile localhost:5000/tomcat-test:latest

And finally, I push to the local registry using the following command:

docker push localhost:5000/tomcat-test:latest

This is succcesfully pushed to the registry.

Now I want to use Kubernetes to pull from my local docker registry. To do this, I have to provide the URL of where the image is located in the docker registry:

I assume the URL is:

192.168.99.103:5000/tomcat-test:latest

However, I get the following error:

Failed to pull image "192.168.99.103:5000/tomcat-test": rpc error: code = 2 desc = Error response from daemon: Get https://192.168.99.103:5000/v1/_ping: tls: oversized record received with length 20527

I suspect that this is an error message from Docker.

Now I have researched online, and there have been suggestions to create a new docker machine, where you specify the IP of an insecure registry. Therefore I have used the following command:

docker-machine create -d virtualbox --engine-insecure-registry localhost:5000 dev2

However after following the steps above, this still did not work and I have got the same error.

Has anyone come across a solution to this issue? And also is there anything that I should be doing different to prevent this issue from appearing?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
