Google Cloud SDK Docker w/ PowerShell

This is Docker image for the Google Cloud SDK with Powershell

This image is Debian-based and includes default command line tools of Google Cloud SDK (gcloud, gsutil, bq) as well as all additional components and Microsoft PowerShell Core.

Usage

To use this image, pull from Docker Hub, run the following command:

docker pull cilerler/google-cloud-sdk:latest

Verify the install

docker run -ti  google/cloud-sdk:latest gcloud version

Then, authenticate by running:

docker run -ti --name gcloud-config google/cloud-sdk gcloud auth login

Once you authenticate successfully, credentials are preserved in the volume of the gcloud-config container.

To list compute instances using these credentials, run the container with --volumes-from:

docker run --rm -ti --volumes-from gcloud-config google/cloud-sdk gcloud compute instances list --project your_project
NAME        ZONE           MACHINE_TYPE   PREEMPTIBLE  INTERNAL_IP  EXTERNAL_IP      STATUS
instance-1  us-central1-a  n1-standard-1               10.240.0.2   8.34.219.29      RUNNING

⚠️ Warning: The gcloud-config container now has a volume containing your Google Cloud credentials. Do not use gcloud-config volume in other containers.

Alternatively, you can use use auth/credential_file_override property to set a path to a mounted service account and then the config to read that using CLOUDSDK_CONFIG environment variable.

for example, mycloud configuration below has the auth/credential_file_override already set and points towards a certificate file that will be present within the container as a separate volume mount.

See issue#152

$ docker run -ti -e CLOUDSDK_CONFIG=/config/mygcloud \
                 -v `pwd`/mygcloud:/config/mygcloud \
                 -v `pwd`:/certs  google/cloud-sdk:alpine /bin/bash

bash-4.4# gcloud config list
[auth]
credential_file_override = /certs/svc_account.json

bash-4.4# head -10  /certs/svc_account.json
{
  "type": "service_account",
  "project_id": "project_id1",
....

bash-4.4# gcloud projects list
PROJECT_ID           NAME         PROJECT_NUMBER
project_id1          GCPAppID     1071284184432

Installing additional components

By default, all gcloud components are installed on the default image.
