ImagePullBackOff local repository with Minikube

If you're using --vm-driver=none, you'll need to set imagePullPolicy to Never.

imagePullPolicy: Never: the image is assumed to exist locally. No attempt is made to pull the image.

Use the minikube docker registry instead of your local docker

https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/stateless-application/hello-minikube/#create-a-docker-container-image

Set docker to point to minikube

eval $(minikube docker-env)

docker build -t hello-node:v1 .

K8S default is set to "Always" Change to "IfNotPresent"

imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent

Related Issue

in my case, I had to do the following steps.

$ eval $(minikube docker-env)

$ minikube config set driver virtualbox

$ minikube start

I think I solved by doing

minikube start --vm-driver="virtualbox" --insecure-registry="$REG_IP":80

instead of just

minikube start

$REG_IP is :

REG_IP=docker-machine ip registry
