gcloud compute scp can't find filestore instance



Trying to copy some data into a newly created GCP Filestore with the gcloud CLI.



gcloud compute scp --recurse /somedirectore/somefile somefilestore-1:/somemount



gcloud seems unable to find the instance:



ERROR: (gcloud.compute.scp) Could not fetch resource:
- The resource 'projects/k8-spark/zones/us-central1-a/instances/somefilestore-1' was not found



The filestore instance does exist. Wondering if compute scp actually works with filestores? The documentation seems to think so:



https://cloud.google.com/filestore/docs/copying-data



Any help much appreciated!

The error indicates that "somefilestore-1" is not a name for a Compute Engine (GCE) instance, not a Filestore instance. You can find the instance name in Compute Engine [1]. If your instances were created by the Kubernetes Engine, it will likely start with "gke-< your_K8_cluster_name >".



Some section of the documentation refers to GCE instances as "VM instance", note that the Cloud Filestore fileshare is mounted on a Compute Engine Windows VM instance.



[1] https://console.cloud.google.com/compute/instances





cloud.google.com/filestore/docs/copying-data seems to think I can use this and refer directly to a filestore "instance". There is no compute engine instance involved. Basically just trying to copy some data into filestore

As you can read there, "Cloud Filestore fileshare [is] mounted on a Compute Engine Windows VM instance."

The command is gcloud compute scp [LOCAL_DATA_PATH] [INSTANCE_NAME]:/[MOUNT_DIRECTORY] --project [PROJECT_ID] --zone [LOCATION] Where: "[INSTANCE_NAME] is the name of the client VM instance that the Cloud Filestore fileshare is mounted on." So you have to provide the GCE Instance name to the command.

Yup, got this far myself, but I wasn't able to see the "instance" on which the fileshare was running anywhere in the console or using the api to list GCE instances.

Did you mount your fileshare on GCE clients as described here? or access the fileshare from a Kubernetes Engine cluster as described here? If you have a GCE instance or a Kubernetes cluster dedicated to have fileshare, you can mount the fileshare on the instance you want to use. For your filestore, do you want to mount your fileshare on a GCE instance or on a GKE cluster?

Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12

How to determine optimal route across keyboard

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to determine optimal route across keyboard I'm trying to automate the typing process in a video game. Players are given an on-screen QWERTY keyboard layout that they can navigate with the control stick (up, down, left, right) in order to select a letter to type. I was wondering if there was a module for Python (or some other resource I could explore) that would help my program find a path across the keyboard as it types each letter in a given message. In other words, if the first letter typed was "A" and the next letter was "B", the module would know that the program should move 1 space down on the keyboard and 4 spaces to the right. Currently, I have the program resetting to the "G" key after each letter is typed (allowing me to use fixed-directions as the program parses each character in the desired message). As you can imagine, this is quite inefficient and defeats the purpose of automating the typing in the fir
