An image does not exist locally with the tag: while pushing image to local registry

Question

I am trying to push an image to a local registry running in minikube but get the below error:

Successfully built ee84225eb459
Successfully tagged user/apiserver:0.0.1

$ docker push localhost:5000/user/apiserver:0.0.1

The push refers to a repository [localhost:5000/user/apiserver]
An image does not exist locally with the tag: localhost:5000/user/apiserver

I have already tried starting minikube with below:

minikube start --vm-driver xhyve --insecure-registry localhost:5000
eval $(minikube docker-env)

Successfully tagged user/apiserver:0.0.1

docker push localhost:5000/user/apiserver:0.0.1

Image tags need to include the registry name/port for you to push them anywhere other than the default registry (docker hub). So you need to tag your image as localhost:5000/user/apiserver:0.0.1 rather than user/apiserver:0.0.1. Then you'll be able to push to your local registry.
