Cannot install components via gcloud on newest build anymore (159.0.0, latest) about cloud-sdk-docker HOT 4 CLOSED

this issue can be reproduced in non slim version as well

This is because the non-slim version is Debian-based, too (see README). The non-slim version is very large in size, but it has kubectl preinstalled.

Closing this issue as it is resolved for you. We are looking at releasing an :alpine tag so that the gcloud command can be used to install components.

@salrashid123 is this because the -slim image is Debian-based and things are installed via apt? If that's the case, maybe we should follow one of these following routes:

• Release also an :alpine tag, where this command would work.
• Provide documentation in README in a "How to install additional components" and list appropriate commands for debian (apt-get) and alpine (gcloud components install).

@asarturas in your case, apt-get install kubectl should work as listed here: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/downloads#apt-get

@ahmetb just to clarify, this issue can be reproduced in non slim version as well:

docker run --rm -it google/cloud-sdk:159.0.0 /bin/bash
root@902bf762c049:/# gcloud components install kubectl
You cannot perform this action because this Cloud SDK installation is

I did fix it for myself with apt-get command like you posted, yes. I've mentioned this since previous behaviour was different and there were no tags before, so had to alter CI, which picked up updates from latest.

ah, cool, didn't realise. It's good that there was tagging introduced now, thanks.
