Google Cloud CLI (google-cloud-cli)

Installs the Google Cloud CLI (gcloud) via Google's apt repository. Forked from ghcr.io/dhoeric/features/google-cloud-cli with a trixie-compatible key import (gpg --dearmor instead of the removed apt-key).

Example Usage

"features": {
    "ghcr.io/joshuanianji/devcontainer-features/google-cloud-cli:1": {}
}

Options

Options Id	Description	Type	Default Value
version	Select or enter a gcloud CLI version	string	latest
installGkeGcloudAuthPlugin	Install 'gke-gcloud-auth-plugin' plugin?	boolean	false

Why this fork?

This is a fork of ghcr.io/dhoeric/features/google-cloud-cli. It ships two fixes that have been pending upstream for over half a year:

1. Trixie-compatible key import. The upstream feature imports Google's apt key with apt-key, which was removed in Debian 13 (trixie) and Ubuntu 24.04, so it fails with apt-key: command not found (exit 127) on those distributions. We use gpg --dearmor instead (the fix from dhoeric/features#36).
2. Working installGkeGcloudAuthPlugin option. The devcontainer feature runtime exposes options as environment variables by uppercasing the option name (installGkeGcloudAuthPlugin -> INSTALLGKEGCLOUDAUTHPLUGIN, no underscores). The upstream feature reads INSTALL_GKEGCLOUDAUTH_PLUGIN (with an underscore), which is never set, so the option silently does nothing. We read the correctly-named variable.

Otherwise the feature is identical to the upstream one (same options, same apt source).

See joshuanianji/devcontainer-features#90.
