As described in the doc (based on).

I am on Ubuntu as a host OS.

docker --version

Docker version 18.09.6, build 481bc77

microk8s 1.14/beta

Enable local registry for microk2s:

microk8s.enable registry

Checking:

watch microk8s.kubectl get all --all-namespaces

container-registry pod/registry-577986746b-v8xqc 1/1 Running 0 36m

Then:

Edit:

sudo vim /etc/docker/daemon.json

Add this content:

{
  "insecure-registries" : ["127.0.0.1:32000"]
}

Restart:

sudo systemctl restart docker

Double checking, see if insecure is applied:

docker info | grep -A 2 Insecure

Insecure Registries:
 127.0.0.1:32000
 127.0.0.0/8
WARNING: No swap limit support

Tag:

docker tag my-registry/my-services/my-service:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT 127.0.0.1:32000/my-service

Checking:

docker images

127.0.0.1:32000/my-service latest e68f8a7e4675 19 hours ago 540MB

Pushing:

docker push 127.0.01:32000/my-service

I see my image here: http://127.0.0.1:32000/v2/_catalog

In deployment-local.yml I have, now the proper image:

...spec:
  containers:
    - name: my-service-backend
      image: 127.0.0.1:32000/my-service
      imagePullPolicy: Always ...

Then applying:

envsubst < ./.local/deployment-local.yml | microk8s.kubectl apply -f -

I see: ContainerCreating

By: microk8s.kubectl describe pods my-service-deployment-f85d5dcd5-cmd5

In the Events section:

Seems like my-service is stuck there.

Q: What could be the reason?

UPDATE: changing all to localhost helped, meaning I could see now in the browser: http://localhost:32000/v2/_catalog .

{"repositories":["my-service"]}

But it worked only in Firefox.. weird. In chrome is pending..

Still:
