⚠️ Current Issue: GCR Push Permission​

Error Message​

unknown: unexpected status from HEAD request to https://gcr.io/v2/coditect-prod-563272/coditect-cloud-backend/blobs/sha256:...: 412 Precondition Failed

Root Cause​

The account 1@az1.ai lacks permissions to push to Google Container Registry in project coditect-prod-563272.

Required IAM Roles​

To push Docker images to GCR, the account needs one of:

  • Storage Admin (roles/storage.admin) - Full control
  • Storage Object Admin (roles/storage.objectAdmin) - Create/delete objects
  • Storage Object Creator (roles/storage.objectCreator) - Upload only (minimum)

Resolution Steps​

Option 1: Grant IAM Permissions (Recommended)

# Grant Storage Object Admin role to the account
gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding coditect-prod-563272 \
  --member="user:1@az1.ai" \
  --role="roles/storage.objectAdmin"

# Or grant Storage Object Creator (minimum required)
gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding coditect-prod-563272 \
  --member="user:1@az1.ai" \
  --role="roles/storage.objectCreator"

# Verify permissions
gcloud projects get-iam-policy coditect-prod-563272 \
  --flatten="bindings[].members" \
  --filter="bindings.members:1@az1.ai"

Option 2: Use Service Account (CI/CD Recommended)

# Create service account for deployments
gcloud iam service-accounts create coditect-backend-deployer \
  --display-name="CODITECT Backend Deployer" \
  --project=coditect-prod-563272

# Grant Storage Object Admin role
gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding coditect-prod-563272 \
  --member="serviceAccount:coditect-backend-deployer@coditect-prod-563272.iam.gserviceaccount.com" \
  --role="roles/storage.objectAdmin"

# Grant Kubernetes Engine Developer role (for deployment)
gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding coditect-prod-563272 \
  --member="serviceAccount:coditect-backend-deployer@coditect-prod-563272.iam.gserviceaccount.com" \
  --role="roles/container.developer"

# Create and download key
gcloud iam service-accounts keys create ~/coditect-backend-deployer-key.json \
  --iam-account=coditect-backend-deployer@coditect-prod-563272.iam.gserviceaccount.com

# Activate service account
gcloud auth activate-service-account \
  --key-file=~/coditect-backend-deployer-key.json

# Configure Docker
gcloud auth configure-docker gcr.io

Option 3: Enable GCR API (If Not Enabled)

# Enable Container Registry API
gcloud services enable containerregistry.googleapis.com \
  --project=coditect-prod-563272

# Enable Artifact Registry API (newer alternative)
gcloud services enable artifactregistry.googleapis.com \
  --project=coditect-prod-563272

⏭️ Next Steps​

After Permissions Are Granted​

  1. Retry Docker Push (3-5 minutes)

    docker push gcr.io/coditect-prod-563272/coditect-cloud-backend:v1.0.0-staging

  2. Verify Image in GCR

    gcloud container images list --repository=gcr.io/coditect-prod-563272

    # Expected output:
    # NAME
    # gcr.io/coditect-prod-563272/coditect-cloud-backend

  3. Deploy to GKE Staging (10-15 minutes)

    • Follow deployment-guide-staging.md
    • Create namespace
    • Create secrets
    • Deploy application

  4. Run Smoke Tests (15-30 minutes)

    • Test health endpoints
    • Verify authentication
    • Check application logs

📋 Checklist for Deployment​

  • Docker image built
  • Image tagged for GCR
  • Kubernetes manifests created
  • GCP authentication complete
  • GCR push permissions granted ⬅️ CURRENT BLOCKER
  • Image pushed to GCR
  • GKE cluster created/verified
  • Namespace created
  • Secrets configured
  • Application deployed
  • Smoke tests passed

🆘 Troubleshooting​

Check Current Permissions​

# List IAM policy for the project
gcloud projects get-iam-policy coditect-prod-563272

# Check specific user permissions
gcloud projects get-iam-policy coditect-prod-563272 \
  --flatten="bindings[].members" \
  --filter="bindings.members:1@az1.ai"

Check GCR API Status​

# List enabled services
gcloud services list --enabled --project=coditect-prod-563272 | grep -i container

# Should show:
# containerregistry.googleapis.com  (or artifactregistry.googleapis.com)

Alternative: Use Local Docker Registry​

If GCR access continues to fail, you can temporarily use a local registry for testing:

# Run local registry
docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --name registry registry:2

# Retag image
docker tag coditect-cloud-backend:test-v1.0.0 localhost:5000/coditect-backend:v1.0.0-staging

# Push to local registry
docker push localhost:5000/coditect-backend:v1.0.0-staging

# Update backend-deployment.yaml to use localhost:5000/coditect-backend:v1.0.0-staging

If you need assistance with IAM permissions, contact your GCP project administrator or use the Anthropic support channel.
