How to install the Google Cloud SDK in a Docker Image?

Adding the following to my Docker file appears to work.

# Downloading gcloud package
RUN curl https://dl.google.com/dl/cloudsdk/release/google-cloud-sdk.tar.gz > /tmp/google-cloud-sdk.tar.gz

# Installing the package
RUN mkdir -p /usr/local/gcloud \
  && tar -C /usr/local/gcloud -xvf /tmp/google-cloud-sdk.tar.gz \
  && /usr/local/gcloud/google-cloud-sdk/install.sh

# Adding the package path to local
ENV PATH $PATH:/usr/local/gcloud/google-cloud-sdk/bin

Use this one-liner in your Dockerfile:

RUN curl -sSL https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash

source: https://docs.docker.com/v1.8/installation/google/

Doing it with alpine:

 FROM alpine:3.6

 RUN apk add --update \
 python \
 curl \
 which \
 bash

 RUN curl -sSL https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash

 ENV PATH $PATH:/root/google-cloud-sdk/bin

RUN curl -sSL https://sdk.cloud.google.com > /tmp/gcl && bash /tmp/gcl --install-dir=~/gcloud --disable-prompts

This will download the google cloud sdk installer into /tmp/gcl, and run it with the parameters as follows:

--install-dir=~/gcloud: Extract the binaries into folder gcloud in home folder. Change this to wherever you want, for example /usr/local/bin
--disable-prompts: Don't show any prompts while installing (headless)
