Store your container images in Cloud Code for IntelliJ
To run or debug an application on a remote Kubernetes cluster, you'll need to
define the container image repository for your project. You can use any image
repository provider, including Artifact Registry.
Specify where container images are stored
If you're logged into Google Cloud in your IDE and you have a
default project defined, Cloud Code automatically uses your
default container image repository
gcr.io/PROJECT_ID, where
PROJECT_ID references your default project.
If you'd like to update the image repository where the project
images are pushed, follow these instructions:
Navigate to the Run/Debug configuration selector in the Navigation bar
or the top-level main menu:
Run > Edit Configurations > Develop on Kubernetes > Image repository.
Fill in the Image repository field.
See the common image repository formats section for examples
of how to specify where container images are stored for some common registries.
Image name creation
Cloud Code concatenates the image registry with the image name
specified in the Kubernetes manifests to generate the final image repository
name.
To submit feedback or report an issue in your IntelliJ IDE, go to
Tools > Cloud Code > Help / About > Submit
feedback or report an issue to report an issue on GitHub.
