Hi all,
I am trying to set up Biocellion via option 2 from this page: http://biocellion.com/wiki_root/index.php/Getting_Started
I downloaded the "Biocellion1.2_GoogleCloudImage.3.30.17.tar.gz" file from Google Drive, then uploaded it to a GCP bucket with id 'biocellion' in project 'biocellion-tutorial'
I then ran 'gcloud compute images create biocellion-tutorial --source-uri https://storage.googleapis.com/biocellion/biocellion_image.tar.gz' and got the following error:
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.images.create) Could not fetch resource:
- The tar archive is not a valid image.
Has anyone else run into this problem? The error suggests that the tarball is not properly configured for GCP usage.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi Robert,
Did your rename your image by any chance? If your downloaded gcloud image has the file name Biocellion1.2_GoogleCloudImage.3.30.17.tar.gz , and you didn't change the name, the source uri should be https://storage.googleapis.com/biocellion/Biocellion1.2_GoogleCloudImage.3.30.17.tar.gz.
Let me know if changing the name works for you.

Hello,
Thanks for the response. I did previously rename the file to biocellion_image.tar.gz . I tried changing the name back to Biocellion1.2_GoogleCloudImage.3.30.17.tar.gz, then ran
gcloud compute images create biocellion-tutorial --source-uri https://storage.googleapis.com/biocellion/Biocellion1.2_GoogleCloudImage.3.30.17.tar.gz
But I got the same error. Any other idea of what it could be?

Hi Robert,
I think your source-uri is still wrong. Since your bucket name is 'biocellion-tutorial', the source-uri should be the path to bucket, followed by image: https://storage.googleapis.com/biocellion-tutorial/Biocellion1.2_GoogleCloudImage.3.30.17.tar.gz
I think you can also just do this straight on cloud console. Create an Image (under Compute Engine), and boot the .tar.gz file in the bucket. See this: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/images/import-existing-image under
let me know if it still doesn't work!

Hi Shinwook,
I believe the path is correct. When I pass a nonsense URI to the command I get the error "The resource <URI> of type 'Google Cloud Storage object' was not found", which is a different error message. Additionally, I get the same error when I try to create the image through the GCP console:
Has anyone else done this successfully? Later I will try to re-package the raw image according to this page, to see if that helps.

Hi Robert,
You're right. I got the same error. I noticed that the Biocellion1.2_GoogleCloudImage.3.30.17.tar.gz has the wrong file type (it should be x-tar not gzip). I think when renaming it, the property must've been changed.
Try uploading this to the bucket instead. It worked on my end: https://storage.cloud.google.com/biocellion12-gcloud/biocellion12.tar.gz?authuser=1&_ga=2.36101026.-365665758.1515834097
This is the same image, but only .tar 'ed.
Let me know how it goes.

I'm not following - In the instruction doc, one of the requirements is:
I can't seem to access that bucket. If there is an update file to use, maybe you can update the google drive that was provided when I downloaded biocellion.
Thanks for all of your help!

Hi Robert,
I'm working on repackaging it. The link should work now. Please feel free to try it again (I temporarily disabled billing, and didn't realize it wasn't public anymore).

Hi Robert,
Can you do Google Hangout? Feel free to e-mail me. This should work. https://storage.googleapis.com/biocellion12-gcloud/biocellion12.tar.gz
