<p>I'm trying to run my first kubernetes pod locally.
I've run the following command (from <a href="http://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/docker/" rel="noreferrer">here</a>):</p>

<pre><code>export ARCH=amd64
docker run -d \
    --volume=/:/rootfs:ro \
    --volume=/sys:/sys:ro \
    --volume=/var/lib/docker/:/var/lib/docker:rw \
    --volume=/var/lib/kubelet/:/var/lib/kubelet:rw \
    --volume=/var/run:/var/run:rw \
    --net=host \
    --pid=host \
    --privileged \
    gcr.io/google_containers/hyperkube-${ARCH}:${K8S_VERSION} \
    /hyperkube kubelet \
        --containerized \
        --hostname-override=127.0.0.1 \
        --api-servers=http://localhost:8080 \
        --config=/etc/kubernetes/manifests \
        --cluster-dns=10.0.0.10 \
        --cluster-domain=cluster.local \
        --allow-privileged --v=2
</code></pre>

<p>Then, I've trying to run the following:</p>

<pre><code>kubectl create -f ./run-aii.yaml
</code></pre>

<p><strong>run-aii.yaml:</strong></p>

<pre><code>apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1

<p>Now, when I run: <code>kubectl get pods</code>
I'm getting:</p>

<p>why do I get the ImagePullBackOff ??</p>

<p>By default Kubernetes looks in the public Docker registry to find images. If your image doesn't exist there it won't be able to pull it.</p>

<p>You can run a local Kubernetes registry with the <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/cluster/addons/registry" rel="noreferrer">registry cluster addon</a>. </p>

<p>Then tag your images with <code>localhost:5000</code>:</p>

<pre><code>docker tag aii localhost:5000/dev/aii
</code></pre>

<p>Push the image to the Kubernetes registry:</p>

<pre><code>docker push localhost:5000/dev/aii
</code></pre>

<p>And change run-aii.yaml to use the <code>localhost:5000/dev/aii</code> image instead of <code>aii</code>. Now Kubernetes should be able to pull the image.</p>

<p>Alternatively, you can run a private Docker registry through one of the providers that offers this (AWS ECR, GCR, etc.), but if this is for local development it will be quicker and easier to get setup with a local Kubernetes Docker registry.</p>
