deployment/auth-mongo-depl: container auth-mongo is waiting to start: mongo can't be pulled – Docker

This is my auth-depl.yaml file:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: auth-depl
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: auth
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: auth
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: auth
          image: tester/auth
          env:
            - name: MONGO_URI
              value: 'mongodb://auth-mongo-srv:27017/auth'
            - name: JWT_KEY
              valueFrom:
                secretKeyRef:
                  name: jwt-secret
                  key: JWT_KEY
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: auth-srv
spec:
  selector:
    app: auth
  ports:
    - name: auth
      protocol: TCP
      port: 3000
      targetPort: 3000

And the following is auth-mongo-depl.yaml:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: auth-mongo-depl
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: auth-mongo
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: auth-mongo
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: auth-mongo
          image: mongo
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: auth-mongo-srv
spec:
  selector:
    app: auth-mongo
  ports:
    - name: db
      protocol: TCP
      port: 27017
      targetPort: 27017

When I run skaffold dev it gives me the following error:

 - deployment/auth-mongo-depl: container auth-mongo is waiting to start: mongo can't be pulled
    - pod/auth-mongo-depl-64f5f58669-dw4hg: container auth-mongo is waiting to start: mongo can't be pulled
 - deployment/auth-mongo-depl failed. Error: container auth-mongo is waiting to start: mongo can't be pulled.

The mongo service is up and running and I can run mongo command on the terminal. It also starts and runs on it’s default mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017 address. I use Windows 10 and Docker-Desktop.

Let me know if more information needs to be added.

    I think the common solution is to pull the mongo image in Docker Hub to your local machine and then try to run skaffold dev again

    I had a similar issue, and this was how I resolved it. I went to my Docker Desktop app (Mac) and did a clean-up of all the docker images. I basically deleted all the images which also include mongo image.

    Then I ran skaffold dev and all the images were built again, and a fresh copy of mongo was added to my Docker Desktop app. Now, my code started successfully without mongo error. I hope this helps

    I had a similar issue (took me 3 hours to figure out) and what I had to do was set a local or global default repo in the Skaffold context:

    Global
    skaffold config set default-repo <your-dockerhub-repo>

    Local Project
    skaffold dev --default-repo <myrepo>

    Also in my skaffold.yaml I had to set push to true:

    build:
  local:
    push: true
