Access to Google Cloud Datalab Fails with ssh Error

Trying to access Google Cloud Datalab server with: docker run -it -p "127.0.0.1:8081:8080" -v "${HOME}:/content" -e "GATEWAY_VM=mltensorflow-1470671201129/us-east1-b/vm-instance-name" gcr.io/cloud-datalab/datalab:local

as per Run Cloud Datalab on Google Cloud Platform

It fails with: ERROR: (gcloud.compute.ssh) Could not SSH to the instance. It is possible that your SSH key has not propagated to the instance yet. Try running this command again. If you still cannot connect, verify that the firewall and instance are set to accept ssh traffic.

I am on a Windows 10 client. Repeated installation now produces this error: channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused Failed to set up the SSH tunnel to the VM vm-instance-name

Instance is accessible via other means, for example: gcloud compute --project "project_name" ssh --zone "us-west1-a" "ins-name"

The problem with official instructions Run Cloud Datalab on Google Cloud Platform, is that provided command to create the gateway VM does not work correctly on Windows.

Replace --metadata "google-container-manifest=$(cat datalab-gateway.yaml)" with --metadata-from-file google-container-manifest=datalab-gateway.yaml and it will create VM with datalab-gateway.yaml without any errors. You can login to your new instance and run sudo docker ps to double check if container is running.

Afterwards you can continue with next step (docker run...), just substitute ${HOME} with /C/Users/<your path> as Dinesh described.

The command docker run ... has an argument that doesn't work on Windows AFAIK. But the strange thing is that I would expect a very different error and in fact managed to get an error due to ${HOME}.

Here is the command I ran and it worked well - after substituting the value for HOME (you will need to replace [proj-id] below.

docker run -it -p "8081:8080" -v "/C/Users/dinesh/Documents/:/content"    -e "GATEWAY_VM=[proj-id]/us-central1-f/datalab"  gcr.io/cloud-datalab/datalab:local

Not sure if this will work for you but something worth trying in case substitution was a problem. (I am assuming that the VM was created with datalab-gateway.yaml without any errors.)

Thanks.
