+    $env:REGION="us-central1"
+    $env:PROJECT_ID="example-project-id-1000"
+    $env:IMAGE_NAME="damo.io.server"
+  
+    gcloud auth configure-docker "${env:REGION}-docker.pkg.dev"
+    docker tag ${env:IMAGE_NAME} "${env:REGION}-docker.pkg.dev/${env:PROJECT_ID}/docker-images/${env:IMAGE_NAME}:latest"
+    docker push "${env:REGION}-docker.pkg.dev/${env:PROJECT_ID}/docker-images/${env:IMAGE_NAME}:latest"
+    ```
+
+### Initial cloud run setup
