Enable minikube local registry

minikube addons enable registry 

Expose the registry to the host machine on port 5000. Can be done by xinet, port-forward or use assisted-test-infra which automate the xinet method:

###xinet Change registry service to a LoadBalancer (minikube tunnel will assign an external IP)

kubectl patch service registry -n kube-system --type json -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/type", "value":"LoadBalancer"}]'

Create a new xinet configuration file at /etc/xinetd.d/minikube-registry:

{
type		= UNLISTED
socket_type	= stream
protocol	= tcp
user		= root
wait		= no
redirect	= EXTERNAL_IP EXTERNAL_PORT
port		= 5000
per_source	= UNLIMITED
instances	= UNLIMITED
}

Reboot the xinet service: systemctl restart xinetd.service

###port-forward

kubectl port-forward --namespace kube-system service/registry 5000:80

Use local registry

export SUBSYSTEM_LOCAL_REGISTRY=localhost:5000
