Cloud Run: Image not found / failed to pull Google Cloud / Firebase Origin: Platform & cloud Last updated 4 Nov 2026

Cloud Run: Revision 'svc-00005' is not ready — Image 'gcr.io/proj/app:latest' not found / Permission 'artifactregistry.repositories.downloadArtifacts' denied

Cloud Run cannot pull the container image — it doesn't exist, the tag is wrong, or the service identity lacks access to the registry.

Meaning

Check the exact image path and tag/digest in Artifact Registry, that the image was pushed to the same project/region, and that Cloud Run's service agent (or the runtime service account) can read the repository (roles/artifactregistry.reader). Cross-project images need access granted to the Cloud Run service agent.

Common causes

  • Wrong image name, tag or region
  • Image never pushed (build failed)
  • Cloud Run service agent lacks reader role on the repo
  • Image in another project
  • Image built for the wrong CPU architecture (arm64 on Mac M1)

⚡ Quick fix

  1. gcloud artifacts docker images list REPO to confirm
  2. Grant roles/artifactregistry.reader to the Cloud Run service agent
  3. Build for linux/amd64: docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64

Detailed fix by platform

gcloud

  1. gcloud artifacts docker images list europe-docker.pkg.dev/PROJECT/REPO

How to diagnose

  1. Image — Exists at that path?
  2. Access — Reader role?
  3. Arch — amd64?
