I have an image in my docker repository. I an trying to create POD out of it but K8S is giving the following error.
Failed to pull image "cloudanswer:latest": rpc error: code = Unknown desc = Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/: net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)
It seems K8S is connecting to https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/ instead of taking from local docker repository.
How to make K8S take image for local docker repository ?
Kubernetes supports a special type of secret that you can create that will be used to fetch images for your pods. More details here
If you use single node in your cluster, make sure this docker image is available on this node. You can check via
docker image lsAlso set the imagePullPolicy to Never, otherwise Kubernetes will try to download the image.
Multiple node cluster, you can use docker registry image. Use a local registry:
docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart=always --name registry registry:2Now tag your image properly:
docker tag ubuntu <dns-name-of-machine>:5000/ubuntudns name of the machine running registry container should be reachable by all nodes in network
Now push your image to local registry:
docker push <dns-name-of-machine>:5000/ubuntuYou should be able to pull it back:
docker pull <dns-name-of-machine>:5000/ubuntuNow change your yaml file to use local registry.
imagePullPolicy should be set to IfNotPresent to pull images from local docker repo
