How do I create a public image in Google Container Registry (GCR)?

Question

I use GCR to store my team's private docker registry. I have a docker image that I want to make publicly visible so that multiple projects can use it / share with customers / etc.

How do I make a docker image public within Google's Container Registry?

1) Create an empty cloud project to house the public registry

2) Push something to the registry (so the bucket gets created)

docker push gcr.io/{PROJECT_NAME}/{IMAGE_NAME}

3) Make all future objects in the bucket public:

gsutil defacl ch -u AllUsers:R gs://artifacts.{PROJECT_NAME}.appspot.com

4) Make all current objects in the bucket public (eg, the image you just pushed):

gsutil acl ch -r -u AllUsers:R gs://artifacts.{PROJECT_NAME}.appspot.com

5) Make the bucket itself public (not handled by -r!):

gsutil acl ch -u AllUsers:R gs://artifacts.{PROJECT_NAME}.appspot.com

6) upload more images if desired

What if you only want to make a single image public, not all of them? – Ian Rose May 18 '17 at 19:10
Ian, I believe that's not possible today. – ahmet alp balkan Jun 13 '17 at 17:01

Google Cloud Registry (GCR) now allows you to easily do this through the Console. Click on "Settings" on the left panel, and change the Visibility to Public.
