Is it possible to run lakefs locally in docker, but have the blockstore be backed by GCS? I tried

docker run --name lakefs -p 8000:8000 -e LAKEFS_BLOCKSTORE_TYPE="gs" -e LAKEFS_DATABASE_TYPE=local -e LAKEFS_AUTH_ENCRYPT_SECRET_KEY="..."  -e LAKEFS_BLOCKSTORE_CREDENTIALS_JSON=my-svc-acct.json   treeverse/lakefs:latest run

and it failed with

time=“2024-03-14T221322Z” level=warning msg=“Failed to get Google numeric project ID from instance metadata” func=“pkg/cloud/gcp.(*MetadataProvider).GetMetadata” file=“build/pkg/cloud/gcp/metadata.go:23" error=“Get \“http://169.254.169.254/computeMetadata/v1/project/numeric-project-id\“: dial tcp 169.254.169.25480 connect: connection refused”

Judging by the fact that it’s attempting to connect to 169.254.169.254 I’m guessing it expects to be running inside GCP?

I was able to run some time back by using this command:

docker run -d --restart always --pull always -p 8000:8000 -v $PWD:/myfiles -e LAKEFS_BLOCKSTORE_TYPE='gs' -e LAKEFS_BLOCKSTORE_GS_CREDENTIALS_FILE='/myfiles/my-svc-acct.json' --name lakefs-gcp2 treeverse/lakefs run --local-settings
