# Skaffold troubleshooting

## Push setup

If the `forgeops build` command fails because Skaffold does not have permissions to push a Docker image, Skaffold might be trying to push to the Docker hub. The reported image name will be something like `docker.io/am`.

When running on Minikube, Skaffold assumes that a push is not required, because it can `docker build` directly to the Docker machine. If it is attempting to push to Docker Hub, it is because Skaffold thinks it is not running on Minikube. Make sure your Minikube context is named `minikube`.

An alternate solution is to modify the Docker build specification in the `skaffold.yaml` file, setting the value of the `local.push` key to `false`. For more information, see the Skaffold documentation.

## Logging verbosity

Skaffold provides different levels of debug logging information. When you encounter issues deploying the platform with Skaffold, you can set the logging verbosity to display more messages. The additional messages might help you identify problems.

For example:

```
$ cd /path/to/forgeops
$ skaffold dev -v debug

INFO[0000] starting gRPC HTTP server on port 50052
