How to push container to Google Container Registry

Question

EDIT: I'm just going to blame this on platform inconsistencies. I have given up on pushing to the Google Cloud Container Registry for now, and have created an Ubuntu VM where I'm doing it instead. I have voted to close this question as well, for the reasons stated previously, and also as this should probably have been asked on Server Fault in the first place. Thanks for everyone's help!

running $ gcloud docker push gcr.io/kubernetes-test-1367/myapp results in:

The push refers to a repository [gcr.io/kubernetes-test-1367/myapp]

$ gcloud init results in:

Welcome! This command will take you through the configuration of gcloud.

Settings from your current configuration [default] are:
[core]
account = <my_email>@gmail.com
disable_usage_reporting = True
project = kubernetes-test-1367
Your active configuration is: [default]

Note: this is a duplicate of Kubernetes: Unable to create repository, but I tried his solution and it did not help me. I've tried appending :v1, /v1, and using us.gcr.io

Answer 1

The first image push requires admin rights for the project. I had the same problem trying to push a fresh container to GCR for a team project.

You might also want to have a look at docker-credential-gcr. Hope that helps.

Answer 2

I checked for

gcloud auth list

to see my application is the active account and not my personal Google account. After setting

gcloud config set account [e-mail]

I was able to push

gcloud docker -- push eu.gcr.io/$PROJECT_ID/my-docker:v1

So I can continue http://kubernetes.io/docs/hellonode/

Answer 3

It seems like you're trying to run gcloud docker push from an Google Compute Engine instance without a proper security scope of read/write access to Google Cloud Storage (it's where Google Container Registry stores the images of your containers behind the scene).

Try to create another instance, but this time with proper access scopes, i.e.:

gcloud compute --project "kubernetes-test-1367" instances create "test" --zone "us-east1-b" --machine-type "n1-standard-1" --network "default" --scopes default="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/logging.write","https://www.googleapis.com/auth/monitoring.write","https://www.googleapis.com/auth/servicecontrol","https://www.googleapis.com/auth/service.management","https://www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.full_control" --image "/debian-cloud/debian-8-jessie-v20160629" --boot-disk-size "10" --boot-disk-type "pd-standard" --boot-disk-device-name "test-1"

Once you create new instance, ssh into it and then try to re-run the gcloud docker push gcr.io/kubernetes-test-1367/myapp command

Answer 4

Thanks for adding your Docker version info. Does downgrading Docker to a more stable release (e.g. 1.11.2) help at all? Have you run 'docker-machine upgrade'?

Answer 5

Also this could be the cause of this problem (was in my case):

Important: make sure the Compute Engine API is enabled for your project on the

Answer 6

I am still not able to push a docker image from my local machine, but authorizing a compute instance with my account and pushing an image from there works. If you run into this issue, I recommend creating a Compute Engine instance (for yourself), authorizing an account with gcloud auth that can push containers, and pushing from there. I have my source code in a Git repository that I can just pull from to get the code.
