Execute the Job

docker container exec tax1099q-generator-cli-latest sh run.sh

See results in /Users/yourname/docker-share/tax1099q/pdf-print, pdf-download, pdf-issuer, and other folders

One-Time Authorization Setup

The docker application (image) is hosted at Google Artifact Registry.

Upon purchase of a license to the docker image, we will grant permission to a google account of your naming to the access the artifact.

It will be necessary for you to do a one-time set-up to install the applicable Google credentials into Docker. There are 2 methods.

Method 1: Use the Google Command Line (gcloud) App.

If you have not installed 'gcloud' previously, see cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install for installation instructions.

After installing the gcloud program, from a command prompt, run this command:

gcloud init

Then run this command

gcloud auth configure-docker us-central1-docker.pkg.dev

This will provide docker the needed credential helper.

Method 2: Use the Google Docker credential helper

This method can be used if you sign in to Docker with a Google account.

Go to https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/docker-credential-gcr/releases and download the file applicable to your system.

Unzip the archive file and place the helper app somewhere in the path on your computer.

From a command prompt, run this command

docker-credential-gcr configure-docker --registries=us-central1-docker.pkg.dev

The credentials are saved in '.docker/config.json' your user home directory.
