Building your own cloud shell image
Source for an example Dockerfile can be found in jx-cloud-shell.
To build and use a custom image, you need to build in a cloudshell. In the cloud shell within a directory containing the Dockerfile:
> cloudshell env build-local
# To use image temporarily for current session
> cloudshell env run
# To push to GCloud repo
> cloudshell env push
# Update image
> cloudshell env update-default-image --image gcr.io/<project-id>/jx-cloud-shell:latest
You will need to restart the VM for changes to apply.
Cleaning up cloud resources
> jx gc gke
