Uploading Docker Images to Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

1. Create an Artifact Registry repository

2. Setup setting

3. Open terminal

4. Configure Docker Authentication

gcloud auth configure-docker northamerica-northeast2-docker.pkg.dev

5. Building and Pushing Docker Images

Upload source code to Cloud Shell

Building and Pushing Docker Images

# Build the image
docker build -t [image-name] .

# Tag the image for GCP
docker tag [image-name] northamerica-northeast2-docker.pkg.dev/[project-id]/[repository-name]/[image-name]:[tag]

# Push the image
docker push northamerica-northeast2-docker.pkg.dev/[project-id]/[repository-name]/[image-name]:[tag]

Example

docker build -t myapp .
docker tag myapp northamerica-northeast2-docker.pkg.dev/my-project-123/my-repo/myapp:latest
docker push northamerica-northeast2-docker.pkg.dev/my-project-123/my-repo/myapp:latest

6. Setting up VM Instance

Create VM Instance

gcloud compute instances create mediasoup-instance \
    --zone=northamerica-northeast2-a \
    --machine-type=e2-medium \
    --image-family=debian-11 \
    --image-project=debian-cloud

Configure Firewall Rules

# Allow Docker and server related ports
gcloud compute firewall-rules create mediasoup-ports \
    --direction=INGRESS \
    --priority=1000 \
    --network=default \
    --action=ALLOW \
    --rules=tcp:80,tcp:443,tcp:22,tcp:10000-59999,udp:10000-59999 \
    --source-ranges=0.0.0.0/0

7. Set up Static IP

Create a static IP

gcloud compute addresses create mediasoup-ip \
    --region=northamerica-northeast2

Assign the IP to VM

gcloud compute instances add-access-config mediasoup-instance \
    --zone=northamerica-northeast2-a \
    --address=[Generated-IP-address]

8. Checking Docker processes

service docker start

if Docker is not running,

sudo service docker start
