Skaffold dev fails - docker

Question

I am having this error, after running skaffold dev.
Step 1/6 : FROM node:current-alpine3.11
exiting dev mode because first build failed: unable to stream build output: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/: dial tcp: lookup registry-1.docker.io on 192.168.49.1:53: read udp 192.168.49.2:35889->192.168.49.1:53: i/o timeout. Please fix the Dockerfile and try again..
Here is skaffold.yml
apiVersion: skaffold/v2beta11
kind: Config

I have tried all possible solutions I saw online, including adding 8.8.8.8 as the DNS, but the error still persists. I am using Linux and running ubuntu, I am also using Minikube locally. Please assist.

This is a Community Wiki answer, posted for better visibility, so feel free to edit it and add any additional details you consider important.
In this case:
minikube delete && minikube start
solved the problem but you can start from restarting docker daemon. Since this is Minikube cluster and Skaffold uses for its builds Minikube's Docker daemon, as suggested by Brian de Alwis in his comment, you may start from:
minikube stop && minikube start
or
minikube ssh
su
systemctl restart docker
I searched for similar errors and in many cases e.g. here or in this thread, setting up your DNS to something reliable like 8.8.8.8 may also help:
sudo echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf
in case you use Minikube you should first:
minikube ssh
su ### to become root
and then run:
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf
The following error message:
Please fix the Dockerfile and try again
may be somewhat misleading in similar cases as Dockerfile is probably totally fine, but as we can read in other part:
lookup registry-1.docker.io on 192.168.49.1:53: read udp 192.168.49.2:35889->192.168.49.1:53: i/o timeout.
it's definitely related with failing DNS lookup. This is well described here as well known issue.
Get i/o timeout
Get https://index.docker.io/v1/repositories//images: dial tcp: lookup on :53: read udp :53: i/o timeout
Description
The DNS resolver configured on the host cannot resolve the registry’s
hostname.

N/A
Workaround
Retry the operation, or if the error persists, use another DNS
resolver. You can do this by updating your /etc/resolv.conf file
with these or other DNS servers:
nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4
