kubelet Failed to pull image rpc error: code = Unknown desc = context deadline exceeded

Question

My problem is that afte 2m the pull will stop and it will try again. I can't pull the image in 2m so I changed the kubelet runtime-request-timeout to 10m but it seems that value is ignored

What I did is [I'm having a k3s cluster]

Edit/create file /etc/rancher/k3s/config.yaml with content:

kubelet-arg:
  - "runtime-request-timeout=10m"

but this seems to be ignored [restarted all machines]. Am I doing something wrong?

LE: It seems that runtime-request-timeout is not for pulls. Something to mention is that I changed the container runtime from containerd to docker. If I'll leave it as containerd I'll not have this issue. Any ideas?

Answer 1

It looks like you had not given the proper permission for container. create secret to give permission

     image: privaterepo/image:1.0.0.0
 name: queue-manager
 imagePullPolicy: Always
 resources: {}
 imagePullSecrets: 
    - name: mysecret

SECRET FILE

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: mysecret
type: Opaque
data:
  username: sdfsdfdsfdsf=
  password: dfsfsdfdsfd
