unable to see images or pull from registry

Question

I am unable to see images from the registry
1. gcloud auth login
2. from local machine: gcloud docker push gcr.io/project-id/image-name
3. from VM running docker: gcloud docker images

I see nothing and therefore unable to run any containers - do you know why?

Answer 1

docker images just displays images that have been pulled to the local VM.

Try running gcloud docker pull gcr.io/project-id/image-name to get it onto your VM. Then docker images should show it.

If you are on docker 1.8 or later (see docker version) you can also run: gcloud docker search gcr.io/project-id to see the list of images under project-id.
