How to resolve ImagePullBackOff error in local? - docker

Question

Net core application image and I am trying to create deployment in local kubernetes.
I created docker image as below.
docker tag microservicestest:dev microservicestest .
docker build -t microservicestest .
docker run -d -p 8080:80 --name myapp microservicetest
Then I created deployment as below.
kubectl run microservicestest-deployment --image=microservicestest:latest --port 80 --replicas=3
kubectl expose deployment microservicestest-deployment --type=NodePort
then when I see Kubectl get pods I see below error
Below is the output when I run docker images
Below is the output

I am not able to understand why my pods are not able to pull the image from local. Can someone help me to identify the issue What I am making here. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

if you are using minikube you first need to build the images in the docker hosted in the minikube machine doing this in your bash session eval $(minikube docker-env) for windows check here
then you need to tell Kubernetes your image pull policy to be Never or IfNotPresent to look for local images
spec:
containers:
- image: my-image:my-tag
name: my-app
imagePullPolicy: Never
check here the official documentation
By default, the kubelet tries to pull each image from the specified registry. However, if the imagePullPolicy property of the container is set to IfNotPresent or Never, then a local image is used (preferentially or exclusively, respectively).
as you are not using yaml file you can create the resources like this
kubectl run microservicestest-deployment --image=microservicestest:latest --image-pull-policy=Never --port 80 --replicas=3
kubectl expose deployment microservicestest-deployment --type=NodePort
