Should docker pull fail in an offline server when the specified image is already pulled?

Question

I am trying to set-up kubernetes in an offline server. Part of the installation requires the following docker images, which I have already loaded in the offline server:

# docker images

When executing:

# kubeadm init --kubernetes-version=v1.24.1

I receive the following errors for the docker images already present in the server:

When trying to pull these images I receive a similar error:

# docker pull k8s.gcr.io/etcd:3.5.3-0
Error response from daemon: Get https://k8s.gcr.io/v2/: dial tcp: lookup k8s.gcr.io on [::1]:53: read udp [::1]:33012->[::1]:53: read: connection refused

Is this supposed to happen? Is there a way to configure docker to check if the image is already present?
