GCP GCR

Use Edgegap with Google Container Registry

You need to have on hand

• The GCP Region of your GCR

• Your GCP Project Name

• Your JSON Key for the IAM User

To get this information, go to GCP Console

1. Go to your Project

2. Go to Container Registry

3. Copy the Full Repository Name

Split the Full Repository Name

Given this Full Repository: gcr.io/project-name/example

Your Repository will be: gcr.io

and your Image will be: project-name/example

Generate your JSON Key File

Follow GCP Steps to generate this file.

Please Verify that your Google Service Account has the right permissions to manage your container registry

You will end with a file that contains something similar

{
  "type": "service_account",
  "project_id": "project-name",
  "private_key_id": "12345abcdef12345",
  "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n[...]\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
  "client_email": "[e-mail]",
  "client_id": "1234567890",
  "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
  "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
  "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
  "client_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/example%40project-name.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
}

Add the app on Edgegap

API Example

The username will always be _json_key

{
    [...]
    "docker_repository": "gcr.io",
    "docker_image": "project-name/repository-name",
    "docker_tag": "v1",
    "private_username": "_json_key",
    "private_token": "<The Content of JSON key file as JSON String>",
    [...]
}

The Private Token will look something like this

{
    [...]
    "private_token": "{\"type\": \"service_account\", \"project_id\": \"project-name\", \"private_key_id\": \"12345abcdef12345\", \"private_key\": \"-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\\n[...]\\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\\n\", \"client_email\": \"[e-mail]\", \"client_id\": \"1234567890\", \"auth_uri\": \"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth\", \"token_uri\": \"https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token\", \"auth_provider_x509_cert_url\": \"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs\", \"client_x509_cert_url\": \"https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/example%40project-name.iam.gserviceaccount.com\"}",
    [...]
}
