Description

What happened

make run/controlplane fails on a fresh setup because the MinIO image cannot be pulled: minio/minio:RELEASE.2020-08-26T00-00-49Z

The MinIO pod stays in ImagePullBackOff, which causes controlplane-server and controlplane-ops to stay at Init:0/1.

Extends #6380

How to reproduce

make up/local-cluster
make run/controlplane
kubectl get pods -n pipecd

Research direction

Search the repository for the MinIO image reference minio/minio:RELEASE.2020-08-26T00-00-49Z used by the make run/controlplane entry point. Run make up/local-cluster, then make run/controlplane and inspect the pods with kubectl get pods -n pipecd; done means the MinIO image pulls successfully and the controlplane pods can leave their waiting states.
