How to mount a bucket in a Google Run application?

Question

My final goal is to mount a bucket inside a container to be deployed with google run.

In order to mount a bucket, I am using gcsfuse that requires a privileged container. (https://github.com/maciekrb/gcs-fuse-sample et.al...)

With a VirtualMachine I would use:

gcloud compute instances create-with-container \
    [...] \
    --container-privileged

While with google run:

gcloud beta run deploy [...] 

But it doesn't seem to have this option.

Any hint will be appreciated.

What you are trying to do is not supported by Cloud Run.

Cloud Run has a few rules (and a few more):

1. The container runs beginning with the first HTTP request to it.
2. The container is eligible to be terminated after the last HTTP Request returns.
3. Cloud Run containers are stateless.
4. Cloud Run does not support background processes.

To use gcs-fuse in Cloud Run would require creating TCP connection that run independently of the state of the container. When Cloud Run puts the container to sleep your connections will fail.
