Google Cloud authentication and Docker¶

Using a separate container for storing the Google cloud credentials we can easily target certain commands to run with that authentication in place.

Create Container¶

First, create the gcloud-config container:

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

This will store your credentials in the gcloud-config container volume.

Setup authentication and environment¶

Download a service account credentials file from Google and setup the .env in your project root:

GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=my-google-service-creds.json
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_SERVICE_ACCOUNT=my-google@**.iam.gserviceaccount.com
GOOGLE_PROJECT=my-project
GOOGLE_DATACENTER=us-central1-a

Attach container to OGC¶

Next, to use that with OGC, run:

bash -c

docker run \
    --env-file .env \
    --rm \
    --volumes-from gcloud-config \
    -v ssh-creds:/root/.ssh \
    -v `pwd`:`pwd` \
    -w `pwd` \
    -it gorambo/ogc:v4 \
    ogc ubuntu.py up -v
