Not able to start a pod using kubectl and minikube despite setting ImagePullPolicy=Never

Question

I am not able to get my pod running on Kubernetes locally on Windows 10 using minikube and kubectl . I am using gitbash to execute all these commands.

Not sure how to go about debugging this.

$ docker images

$ kubectl run greet-foo --image=greet:latest --image-pull-policy=Never

pod/greet-foo created

$ kubectl get pods

NAME        READY   STATUS              RESTARTS   AGE
greet-foo   0/1     ErrImageNeverPull   0          13s

Answer 1

I'm guessing you meant kubectl run greet-foo --image=greet:latest --image-pull-policy=Never

Answer 2

The following command worked for me.

kubectl run greet-foo --image=greet:latest --image-pull-policy=Never
