Kubernetes CrashLoopBackOff after pod create pulling image from Docker Hub

Question

On a Digital Ocean Kubernetes Cluster I am trying to create a pod using a Docker image pulled from Docker Hub but it keeps failing with CrashLoopBackOff and restarting. The image is a Rails app in a docker container and is quite large. I suspect that Kubernetes is restarting the pod before the image can load.

Here are the errors:

kubectl get pods -o wide NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE exactpos-deployment-864c768bff-zr86t 0/1 CrashLoopBackOff 10 27m 10.244.66.4 sleepy-nobel-3v8a nginx-deployment-7d69d57649-97w92 1/1 Running 0 40m 10.244.66.7 sleepy-nobel-3v8a
