Kubernetes does not pull docker image from private repository without https - docker

Question

I configured docker on the same host as my kubernetes-master for the private docker registry.Docker pushing to the private docker registry without https was successful. I also can pull the image just using docker.
When I run kubernetes for this image, I get with 'kubectl describe pods' following log :
kubectl describe pods

I already configured my /etc/init.d/sysconfig/docker to use my insecure private registry.
This is the command to start the kubernetes deployment :
kubectl run fgpra --image=5.179.232.65:5000/some_api_image --port=3000
How can I set kubernetes to pull from my private docker registry without using ssl?

Answer 1

This rather a docker issue than a kubernetes one. You need to add your http registry as a insecure-registry to your docker daemon on each kubernetes node.
docker daemon --insecure-registry=5.179.232.65:5000
In most environment there is a file like /etc/default/docker where you can add this parameter.
