Google cloud’s glcoud computing instance creation error “resource project/{ourID}/global/images/family/debian-8 not found”

We are using the server I created on Google Cloud Platform to create and manage other servers. But when trying to create a new server from the Linux command line using the GCloud compute instance creation function, we receive The following error:

marco@ans-mgmt-01:~/gcloud$ ./create_gcloud_instance.sh app-tst-04 tst,backend-server,bootstrap home-tst 10.20.22.104
 ERROR: (gcloud.compute.instances.create) Could not fetch resource:
 - The resource 'projects/REMOVED_OUR_PROJECTID/global/images/family/debian-8' was not found
 

Our script looks like this:

#!/bin/bash
 if [ "$#" -ne 4 ]; then
     echo "Usage: create_gcloud_instance    "
     exit 1
 fi

 set -e

 INSTANCE_NAME=$1
 TAGS=$2
 SERVER_SUBNET=$3
 SERVER_IP=$4

 gcloud compute --project "REMOVED OUR PROJECT ID" instances create "$INSTANCE_NAME" \
     --zone "europe-west1-c" \

     --boot-disk-device-name "bootdisk-$INSTANCE_NAME" \


 ./clean_known_hosts.sh $INSTANCE_NAME
 

On the Google Cloud Console (console.cloud.google.com), I enabled the cloud api access scope for the ans-mgmt-01 server and tried to create the server from there. There was no problem.

1> Stephen Wein..:

The problem is that gcloud is looking for the image series in the project, not the debian-cloud project where it actually exists.

This can be solved by simply using --image-project debian-cloud.

Instead of looking for projects/{yourID}/global/images/family/debian-8, this method looks for projects/debian-cloud/global/images/family/debian -8.
