| = Configuring a Gcr.io Registry |
| |
| You can use gcr.io as registry to host Camel K images. Usually, users may want to use gcr.io in combination with xref:installation/gke.adoc[Google GKE]. |
| |
| In order to push images to `gcr.io`, you need to provide a valid key to Camel K. |
| The best way to obtain a valid key is from the Google web console: |
| |
| - Go to https://console.cloud.google.com |
| - Make sure the project where you created the Kubernetes cluster is selected in the drop-down list |
| - To avoid confusion, it's suggested to use the "English" language in preferences of the Google Cloud console |
| - Select "IAM & admin" from the navigation menu, then "Service accounts" |
| - Create a new service account specifying the following id: **"camel-k-builder"** |
| - You'll be asked to select a role. It's important to select the **"Storage Admin" role** from the "Storage" menu |
| - Finish creating the service account |
| - From the action menu of the service account you've created, **create a key** using the JSON format |
| |
| A `.json` file with the key will be downloaded to your machine. You need to store that key in a Kubernetes secret. |
| |
| It's **important** to rename the file you've just downloaded to `kaniko-secret.json` (make sure you write it correctly). |
| After the renaming, execute the following command to create the secret: |
| |
| ``` |
| kubectl create secret generic kaniko-secret --from-file=kaniko-secret.json |
| ``` |
| |
| Ensure you have the https://github.com/apache/camel-k/releases[*kamel* CLI] on your system path. |
| |
| You should now execute the following command to install cluster resources and the operator (in the current namespace): |
| |
| ``` |
| kamel install --build-publish-strategy=Kaniko --registry gcr.io --organization <<your-project-id>> --registry-secret kaniko-secret |
| ``` |
| |
| Use the project id of your project on GKE. Usually this can be obtained from the connection string. |
| |
| NOTE: the project id is **NOT** the cluster id! |
