Kubernetes Minikube on Windows Pod failed to pull image


I've found the solution, it's suggested by a user in this github thread

If anyone else ends up on this thread, the solution that worked for me was updating the image pull policy, you can find info on this here. From the docs: Be default, the kubelet will try to pull each image from the specified registry. You need to update this so it can look locally.

If you're running from the CLI, add --image-pull-policy=IfNotPresent to your kubectl run, i.e.

kubectl run some-node-proj --image=my-awesome-local-image:v1 --image-pull-policy=IfNotPresent

adding --image-pull-policy=IfNotPresent allowed me to run the containers no problem.


Altenatively, I got mine to work by changing the driver from hyperkit to docker. Seems hyperkit has issues with network.

minikube start --driver=docker
