Cannot see reserved storage bucket after pushing Docker image to Google Container Registry

I have created a Docker image and pushed it to Google Container Registry as follows (both from inside Google Cloud Shell):

docker push eu.gcr.io/<my-project-id>/<my-image-name>

The result of this command indicates my image's presence in the repository:

docker search eu.gcr.io/<my-project-id>

Google's documentation suggests that I also should see a reserved bucket in Google Cloud Platform Console's Storage browser page:

The first time an image is pushed, a Google Cloud Storage bucket named artifacts.your-project-id.appspot.com is created. You can browse this bucket from the Google Cloud Platform Console's Storage browser page. This bucket should not be used for any other storage.

However, this is not the case:

Am I doing something wrong or is Google's documentation perhaps slightly wrong or out-of-date with respect to this detail?

UPDATE Can (sort-of) see storage buckets now: The Google Cloud Platform Console reports "2 buckets" in a summary view, but its Storage browser page still shows none. However, the equivalent page inside Google's Cloud Console app for iOS succeeds in showing both the buckets' count and names:

eu.artifacts.<my-project-id>.appspot.com 
artifacts.<my-project-id>.appspot.com

Only the first is non-empty (i.e. contains images).

Solution

  • For eu.gcr.io/{project-id} the bucket will be named eu.artifacts.{project-id}.appspot.com.

    You should also be able to see your images in the Container Registry UI by going to Container Engine > Container Registry in the cloud console.

    I believe the direct link to your bucket would be: https://console.developers.google.com/storage/browser/eu.artifacts.{project-id}.appspot.com/

    I believe the direct link to the GCR UI would be: https://console.developers.google.com/kubernetes/images/list?project={project-id}

    Hope that helps.
