How do I deploy Docker images to Google Cloud?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 8:43 pm

Deploying Docker images to Google Cloud is a two-step process. First, create a Dockerfile and then build the image using the docker build command.

The resulting image can then be deployed to Google Cloud using the Google Cloud deploy command.

To create a Dockerfile, first create a directory for your project and then init a new directory inside of it. In this directory, create a Dockerfile with the following contents:

FROM google/engine:3.7.3-beta

RUN echo “deb http://download.docker.com/linux/debian 7.10 lenny main” > /etc/apt/sources.

list.d/docker.list.

ENV GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT $GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT

CMD docker build -t myproject .

To build the image, use the docker build command with the following arguments:

PRO TIP: When deploying Docker images to Google Cloud, it is important to note that you must use a Google Container Registry (GCR) to host your images. Additionally, you will need to create a Google Cloud Storage (GCS) bucket to store your images.

docker build -t myproject .

The resulting image will be named myproject and will be located in the directory you specified when you created the Dockerfile. You can launch the image using the following command:

docker run -it myproject.
