<p>EDIT: I'm just going to blame this on platform inconsistencies. I have given up on pushing to the Google Cloud Container Registry for now, and have created an Ubuntu VM where I'm doing it instead. I have voted to close this question as well, for the reasons stated previously, and also as this should probably have been asked on Server Fault in the first place. Thanks for everyone's help!</p>

<p>running <code>$ gcloud docker push gcr.io/kubernetes-test-1367/myapp</code> results in:</p>

<pre><code>The push refers to a repository [gcr.io/kubernetes-test-1367/myapp]

<p><code>$ gcloud init</code> results in:</p>

<pre><code>Welcome! This command will take you through the configuration of gcloud.

Settings from your current configuration [default] are:

<p>Note: this is a duplicate of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37403634/kubernetes-unable-to-create-repository">Kubernetes: Unable to create repository</a>, but I tried his solution and it did not help me. I've tried appending <code>:v1</code>, <code>/v1</code>, and using <code>us.gcr.io</code></p>

<p>The <a href="https://cloud.google.com/container-registry/docs/access-control#permissions_and_roles" rel="nofollow noreferrer">first image push requires admin rights</a> for the project. I had the same problem trying to push a new container to GCR for a team project, which I could resolve by updating my permissions.</p>

<p>You might also want to have a look at <a href="https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/docker-credential-gcr" rel="nofollow noreferrer">docker-credential-gcr</a>. Hope that helps.</p>
