Gcloud and docker confusion - docker

Question

I am very lost on the steps with gcloud verse docker. I have some gradle code that built a docker image and I see it in images like so
(base) Deans-MacBook-Pro:stockstuff-all dean$ docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
gcr.io/prod-stock-bot/stockstuff latest b041e2925ee5 27 minutes ago 254MB
I am unclear if I need to run docker push or not or if I can go strait to gcloud run deploy so I try a docker push like so
(base) Deans-MacBook-Pro:stockstuff-all dean$ docker push gcr.io/prod-stockstuff-bot/stockstuff
Using default tag: latest
The push refers to repository [gcr.io/prod-stockstuff-bot/stockstuff]
An image does not exist locally with the tag: gcr.io/prod-stockstuff-bot/stockstuff
I have no idea why it says the image doesn't exist locally when I keep listing the image. I move on to just trying gcloud run deploy like so
(base) Deans-MacBook-Pro:stockstuff-all dean$ gcloud run deploy stockstuff --project prod-stock-bot --region us-west1 --image gcr.io/prod-stockstuff-bot/stockstuff --platform managed
Deploying container to Cloud Run service [stockstuff] in project [prod-stock-bot] region [us-west1]
X Deploying... Image 'gcr.io/prod-stockstuff-bot/stockstuff' not found.
X Creating Revision... Image 'gcr.io/prod-stockstuff-bot/stockstuff' not found.
. Routing traffic...
Deployment failed
ERROR: (gcloud.run.deploy) Image 'gcr.io/prod-stockstuff-bot/stockstuff' not found.
I am doing this all as a playground project and can't seem to even get a cloud run deploy up and running.
I tried the spring example but that didn't even create a docker image and it failed anyways with
ERROR: (gcloud.run.deploy) Missing required argument [--image]: Requires a container image to deploy (e.g. `gcr.io/cloudrun/hello:latest`) if no build source is provided.

Answer 1

This error occurs when an image is not tagged locally/correctly. Steps you can try on your side.
Create image locally with name stockstuff (do not prefix it with gcr and project name while creating).
Tag image with gcr repo detail
$ docker tag stockstuff:latest gcr.io/prod-stockstuff-bot/stockstuff:latest
Check if your image is available in GCR (must see your image here, before deploying on cloudrun).
$ gcloud container images list --repository gcr.io/prod-stockstuff-bot
If you can see your image in list, next you can try to deploy gcloud run with below command (as yours).
gcloud run deploy stockstuff --project prod-stock-bot --region us-west1 --image gcr.io/prod-stockstuff-bot/stockstuff --platform managed

Answer 2

There are 3 contexts that you need to be aware.
Your local station, with your own docker.
The cloud based Google Container Registry: https://console.cloud.google.com/gcr/
Cloud Run product from GCP
So the steps would be:
Build your container either locally or using Cloud Build
Push the container to the GCR registry,
if you built locally
docker tag busybox gcr.io/my-project/busybox
docker push gcr.io/my-project/busybox
Deploy to Cloud Run a container from Google Cloud Repository.

Answer 3

I don't see this image gcr.io/prod-stockstuff-bot/stockstuff when you list images in the local system. You can create a new image by tagging that image with this image gcr.io/prod-stock-bot/stockstuff and re-run the gcloud run command.

Answer 4

for the context I am using Flask (python)
I solved this by
update gcloud-sdk to the latest version
gcloud components update
add .dockerignore, I'm guessing because of the python cache
Dockerfile
README.md
*.pyc
*.pyo
*.pyd
__pycache__
.pytest_cache
expose the port to env $PORT
CMD exec gunicorn --bind :$PORT --workers 1 --threads 8 --timeout 0 app:app
