<p>I'm trying to build a Kubernetes job on the fly by using the Kubernetes client in C# (<a href="https://github.com/kubernetes-client/csharp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/kubernetes-client/csharp</a>). I get an error when the job is trying to pull the image from the repo.</p>
<p>The image I'm trying to attach to the job is situated in the local docker repo. Deploying the job to the namespace is no problem; this works just fine, but during the build is throws an error in Lens (see image).</p>

<p>The code for building the job:</p>
<pre><code>        var job = new V1Job

<p>The container is ok, it is present in Docker Desktop (local repo) and I can build &amp; run it without any problems - it also executes the way it should in Docker desktop.</p>

<p>The k8s client creates the pod &amp; job successfully but I get the following error in Lens:
<a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/vZcHm.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/vZcHm.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
<p>So basically, it states that access was denied? How can I overcome this issue?</p>
<p>I already tried to add creds but this doesn't work</p>
<blockquote>
<p>kubectl create secret generic regcred
--from-file=.dockerconfigjson=pathto.docker\config.json --type=kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson</p>
</blockquote>
<p>UPDATE:</p>
<p>I actually ran the following, like zero0 suggested:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>kubectl create secret generic regcred
--from-file=.dockerconfigjson=C:\Users\&lt;USER_NAME&gt;\.docker\config.json --type=kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Found the solution. The image resides in the local repo of Docker Desktop. Because of this the image doesn't have to be pulled. To avoid the image pull, the parameter <strong>ImagePullPolicy</strong> of the Container object should be equal to <strong>&quot;Never&quot;</strong>.</p>
<pre><code>new V1Container
{
 ImagePullPolicy = &quot;Never&quot;,
 Name = name,
 Image = image,
 ...
}
</code></pre>
