gcsweb is a tiny web frontend to GCS browsing that DOES NOT REQUIRE A GOOGLE LOGIN.

See it in action: http://gcsweb.k8s.io/gcs/kubernetes-release/release/

Problem

kubernetes releases can be downloaded using direct API links to specific files. However, to browse all available files at https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/kubernetes-release/release/ or with gsutil people need Google login.

Solution

Run a web app that uses public API to access public buckets, extract information about directory structure and present it to the users with direct links to specific files.

More info

1. gcsweb is just a tool, anyone can run it at any URL with any allowed buckets they want.

2. gcsweb is not designed for initial browsing (yet?) - it doesn't list which GCS buckets are available, and because bucket is a part of URL, you need a documented link to browse.

Installation and deployment

gcsweb is built from source code at https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/tree/master/gcsweb into Docker container, which is then uploaded to private container storage at https://k8s.gcr.io/gcsweb-amd64 and fetched during processing of deployment.yaml by kubectl apply.
