cloud shell gcloud compute ssh about cloud-sdk-docker HOT 3 CLOSED

I'm not familiar with the inner workings of gcloud compute ssh but I assume it will need ssh and ssh-keygen installed in the Docker image, I am not sure these packages there. ssh certainly not installed in the new alpine-based image we're about to publish. What error are you seeing? Do other commands work fine?

from cloud-sdk-docker.

No errors, just that it prompts me for a password unlike when I run the command directly on gcloud.
Same issue when I run from my own image https://github.com/chad-autry/wac-gce-ansible

The whole purpose there was to package an ansible install into docker, but in the end I've installed ansible to my gcloud directory (with a script imitating the ssh command, but internally using gcloud compute ssh for the auto-authentication).

Looks like the README currently doens't show how to map your credential volume into a container.

the procedure is described in this article (specifically under Run gcloud cli without installing SDK locally). I'll separately update the readme in this repo to describe this procedure ot map credentils over. Note, once you create a volume w/ your creds in it, please handle it w/ care!

anyway, if you've initalized gcloud already on a laptop and have creds locally, you can ssh in w/ a similar technique:

$ docker run -ti -v ~/.ssh:/root/.ssh -v ~/.config/gcloud:/root/.config/gcloud google/cloud-sdk gcloud compute ssh $USER@janus --project your_projectID --zone us-central1-a

then i'm logged in to the remote

srashid@janus:~$ 

LMK if this works for you (i'll close this out then but update the readme anyway)
