While trying to deploy my custom nginx image from local registry to kubernetes , I am seeing below error in kubernetes-dashboard -

Failed to pull image "myapp": rpc error: code = Unknown desc = Error response from daemon: repository myapp not found: does not exist or no pull access

This is the steps I followed -

1) Built my customer image using docker
2) kubectl run myapp --image=myapp --port=80 --image-pull-policy=IfNotPresent
3) kubectl expose deployment myapp --type=LoadBalancer --port=80 --target-port=80 --name=myapp

In Kubernetes-dashboard, I see deployment showing failure due to above error of repository myapp not found.

I even tried to add this steps mentioned in https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/pull-image-private-registry/

docker login
kubectl create secret docker-registry regcred --docker-server=https://index.docker.io/v1/ --docker-username=xxx --docker-password=xxx --docker-email=xxx

But still same issue.

What should I do for pod to get my local repo in GKE. Appreciate any help. Thanks.
