<p>I've built a docker image within the minikube VM. However I don't understand why Kubernetes is not finding it?</p>

<pre><code>minikube ssh

$ docker images
REPOSITORY                                     TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
diyapploopback                                 latest              9590c4dc2ed1        2 hours ago         842MB

<p>And if I  describe the pod:</p>

<p>Seems I'm able to run it directly (only for debugging/diagnoses purposes..):
