I'm writing as I've encountered an issue that doesn't seem to get resolved, would value the community's help.

I'm trying to push an image to a local registry I deployed on port 5000.

When I use this command docker push localhost:5000/explorecalifornia.com to push the image to my local registry, I get the following message

Get "http://localhost:5000/v2/": net/http: request canceled (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

I've confirmed the registry is on port 5000 by using GET on postman, and I get a valid, expected {} response (since there's no images currently on my local registry).

I've since tried to fix this by updating my etc/hosts file to comment out "::1 localhost" per advise of this post. This is the contents of my etc/hosts file

##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1	localhost
255.255.255.255	broadcasthost
# ::1 localhost
# Added by Docker Desktop
# To allow the same kube context to work on the host and the container:
127.0.0.1 kubernetes.docker.internal
# End of section

I also updated my etc/resolve.conf file with the following nameservers per advise from this post.

nameserver 10.0.2.3
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

None of this worked. Did anyone also encounter this issue? Is there any recommendations to help fix this issue?

Here's the source code if it helps! Thank you in advance :)
