Can't Pull Docker Image From Google Container Registry on Compute Engine

I am running CoreOS on a Google Compute Instance. I am trying to start a service to run a custom image I have in my private Google Container Registry. Based on documentation, I need to run gcloud docker -- pull <image>. When I do that, I get the error Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?

I have resolved similar issues setting the Docker environment variables using docker-machine. Unfortunately, that command is not available.

I have checked the ensure the Computer instance has read access to Storage.

How do I get my Docker image from my Google Container Registry to my machine running CoreOS in Goolge Compute?

The gcloud CLI runs in a container on CoreOS, which has the unfortunate effect of breaking gcloud docker.

Please take a look at our advanced authentication options, e.g. for an image hosted on gcr.io (as opposed to us.gcr.io, eu.gcr.io ...)

docker login -u oauth2accesstoken -p "$(gcloud auth print-access-token)" https://gcr.io
