`docker-credential-gcloud` not in system PATH

Question

After the latest updates to gcloud and docker I\'m unable to access images on my google container repository. Locally when I run: gcloud auth configure-docker

Answer 1

The new version of google-cloud-sdk has only docker-credential-gcr but not docker-credential-gcloud anymore. On the other hand one of my python packages always requested docker-credential-gcloud.

The solution was to symlink docker-credential-gcloud to docker-credential-gcr:

ln -s /path/to/google-cloud-sdk/bin/docker-credential-gcr /usr/local/bin/docker-credential-gcloud

ls -l /usr/local/bin | grep docker should now print:

...
docker-credential-gcloud -> /path/to/google-cloud-sdk/bin/docker-credential-gcr
...
