pubsub.NewClient方法卡在GKE golang上

Question

I am developing a golang app that uses Google Pub/Sub client library. I am using Google container engine for deployment. I followed the following steps for deployment -

1. Build golang binary using CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux go build -o bin/app app.go
2. Build a docker image using dockerfile shown below.
3. Create kubernetes deployment.

Dockerfile -

FROM scratch 
ADD bin/app /
CMD ["/app"]

The app starts fine and I can see some initial debug logs. However, when I try to instantiate a pub/sub client using client, err := pubsub.NewClient(ctx, projectId) , the method call never returns. I do not see the log message printed right after this statement.

I have "Cloud Pub/Sub" permission enabled on my GKE cluster. Also, the app runs without any issues on my local machine.

What might be the issue?

Answer 1

Okay so I finally found the problem and its solution. My image does not contain any SSL certificates which are required for the pub/sub client (and many other libraries of course) to communicate.

Adding my local machine's /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt file to the docker image's /etc/ssl/certs/ location solved the problem.

This awesome post at codeship is where I learned this solution.
