Hey guys,

By default you need to push to images to repo and need to pull inside minkube.

This are the steps to setup a local registry.

Setup in local machine

Setup hostname in local machine: edit /etc/hosts to add this line

docker.local 127.0.0.1

Now start a local registry (remove -d to run non-daemon mode) :

docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart=always --name registry registry:2

Now tag your image properly:

docker tag ubuntu docker.local:5000/ubuntu

Now push your image to local registry:

docker push docker.local:5000/ubuntu

Verify that image is pushed:

curl -X GET http://docker.local:5000/v2/ubuntu/tags/list

Setup in minikube

ssh into minikube with: minukube ssh

edit /etc/hosts to add this line

docker.local <your host machine's ip>

Verify access:

curl -X GET http://docker.local:5000/v2/ubuntu/tags/list

Now if you try to pull, yo might get an http access error.

Enable insecure access:

systemctl stop docker

edit the docker serice file: get path from systemctl status docker

it might be :

/etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/10-machine.conf or /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service

append this text (replace 192.168.1.4 with your ip)

–insecure-registry docker.local:5000 –insecure-registry 192.168.1.4:5000

to this line

ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker daemon -H tcp://0.0.0.0:2376 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock –tlsverify –tlscacert /etc/docker/ca.pem –tlscert /etc/docker/server.pem –tlskey /etc/docker/server-key.pem –label provider=virtualbox –insecure-registry 10.0.0.0/24

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start docker

try pulling:

docker pull docker.local:5000/ubuntu

Now change your yaml file to use local registry.

  containers:
    - name: ampl-django
      image: dockerhub/ubuntu

to

  containers:
    - name: ampl-django
      image: docker.local:5000/nymbleup

Don’t use http in production, make the effort for securing things up.
