title: Kubernetes pod - image never pulled error
body: <p>I'm trying to deploy my Lagom accessservices on Kubernetes.</p>
  
  <p>To do that I tried to containerize my service using fabric8’s docker-maven-plugin.</p>
  
  <p>So, I added the following plugin settings to the root project pom.xml to register the fabric8 Maven plugin:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;plugin&gt;
      &lt;groupId&gt;io.fabric8&lt;/groupId&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;docker-maven-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;version&gt;0.20.1&lt;/version&gt;
      &lt;configuration&gt;
          &lt;skip&gt;true&lt;/skip&gt;
          &lt;images&gt;
              &lt;image&gt;
                  &lt;name&gt;%g/%a:%l&lt;/name&gt;
                  &lt;build&gt;
                      &lt;from&gt;openjdk:8-jre-alpine&lt;/from&gt;
                      &lt;tags&gt;
                          &lt;tag&gt;latest&lt;/tag&gt;
                          &lt;tag&gt;${project.version}&lt;/tag&gt;
                      &lt;/tags&gt;
                      &lt;assembly&gt;
                          &lt;descriptorRef&gt;artifact-with-dependencies&lt;/descriptorRef&gt;
                      &lt;/assembly&gt;
                  &lt;/build&gt;
              &lt;/image&gt;
          &lt;/images&gt;
      &lt;/configuration&gt;
   &lt;/plugin&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And then, I Added the following plugin settings on the pom.xml under the application’s module directory:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;plugin&gt;
      &lt;groupId&gt;io.fabric8&lt;/groupId&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;docker-maven-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;configuration&gt;
          &lt;skip&gt;false&lt;/skip&gt;
          &lt;images&gt;
              &lt;image&gt;
                  &lt;build&gt;
                      &lt;entryPoint&gt;
                          java -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseCGroupMemoryLimitForHeap -cp '/maven/*' -Dhttp.address="$(eval "echo $ACCESSSERVICE_BIND_IP")" -Dhttp.port="$(eval "echo $ACCESSSERVICE_BIND_PORT")" -Dakka.remote.netty.tcp.hostname="$(eval "echo $AKKA_REMOTING_HOST")" -Dakka.remote.netty.tcp.bind-hostname="$(eval "echo $AKKA_REMOTING_BIND_HOST")" -Dakka.remote.netty.tcp.port="$(eval "echo $AKKA_REMOTING_PORT")" -Dakka.remote.netty.tcp.bind-port="$(eval "echo $AKKA_REMOTING_BIND_PORT")" $(IFS=','; I=0; for NODE in $AKKA_SEED_NODES; do echo "-Dakka.cluster.seed-nodes.$I=akka.tcp://accessservice@$NODE"; I=$(expr $I + 1); done) play.core.server.ProdServerStart
                      &lt;/entryPoint&gt;
                  &lt;/build&gt;
              &lt;/image&gt;
          &lt;/images&gt;
      &lt;/configuration&gt;
  &lt;/plugin&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After that, I build my project using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>eval $(minikube docker-env) 
  clean package docker:build
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I think that it was succeeded because when I executed "docker images", I had:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/AIYQU.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/AIYQU.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>But my problem is when I tried to deploy my services, I got this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Container image is not present with pull policy of NeverError syncing

  <p>Do you have any explication for that? please.</p>
