How do I start a kubernetes job from an image in a local file system?

Question

Seems like an obvious thing do. Very common in other similar systems. But I'm not seeing how to do it in kubernetes. What am I missing?

your cluster should have access to your locally managed registry — Siddique Ahmad, Oct 11 '21 at 22:04
You create a [deployment](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/kubernetes-basics/deploy-app/deploy-intro/) and point it to your local image / cluster. — James, Oct 11 '21 at 22:06
Not really, no. These all seem to be taking the image from a local registry, not the local file system. AFAICT, kubernetes simply can't do this. — agapanthusblue, Oct 13 '21 at 15:58

You can try running a local secure registry, creating a pod (using a YAML file) from a Docker image in a local registry:

See this link.

Again, that's from a local registry, not the local file system. – agapanthusblue Oct 13 '21 at 15:57

Assuming that by a kubernetes job you refer to an app you can simply do so by creating a deployment following this tutorial.

That appears to only take images from a local registry. I'm looking for a way to take them from the local file system. – agapanthusblue Oct 13 '21 at 15:56
@agapanthusblue as a general rule a container can't access the host's filesystem, but you can take advantage of one of the storage methods presented here: https://docs.docker.com/storage/. – Jakub Siemaszko Oct 19 '21 at 13:15
