Google Docker

Objective

Learn how to set up a machine on Google Cloud.

Steps

Create an account on Google Cloud
Create a machine
1. Specify which image to use and which flavor
2. Insert your SSH Key
3. Update Firewall Rules
Connect to the Machine
Download the pre-requisites, the installer & run the Installer pre script on the machine
1. Zip docker certificates

Step 1: Create an account on Google Cloud

Begin by Creating a Google Cloud account → Click Here.
- Follow the steps of Google Cloud wizard

Step 2: Create a machine

Click on Compute Engine → VM Instances → Create Instance
Specify the machine image type, OS and version: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Specify the flavor: 3.75 GB Compute v1
Click on: Management, disks, networking, SSH keys
- Select SSH Keys Tab
- Paste your public ssh key value
Click on VPC Networks → Firewall Rules
- Enable the ports needed to deploy the Cloud and connect to Mongo and Nginx

Create VM Instance	Enter your SSH Key	Firewall Rules Configuration

Step 3: Connect to the Machine

Once you add your public ssh key, the username shows up next to it in the google wizard. use that username to SSH the machine.

Connect to the Machine

# connect to the machine using the IP address
> ssh %username%@%external ip address of machine%

External IP Address

Step 4: Download the pre-requisites, the installer & run the Installer pre script on Google Machine

Once you SSH to the machine, you can download and run the installer pre installation script to get all the dependencies so that cloud deployment works.

Prepare the machine

Download & Run SOAJS Installer pre scripts

# download update apt-get, npm and zip
> sudo su
> apt-get update && apt-get -y upgrade
> apt-get install npm
> apt-get install zip

# download the latest version of nodejs
> curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash && apt-get install -y nodejs

Run the installer

# download installer 
> mkdir -p /opt/soajs/node_modules 
> cd /opt/soajs/node_modules 
> sudo npm install soajs.installer 

# run installer pre script 
> cd soajs.installer/scripts/pre 
> sudo /opt/soajs/node_modules/soajs.installer/scripts/pre/docker-linux.sh <%YOUR_CUSTOM_DOMAIN%>

Download Docker Certificates

Zip and Download the generated docker certificates from the above step to your local machine.

zip certificates

> cd /root
> zip -r certs.zip certs/*
> mv /root/certs.zip ~

From here on, use the installer from your local machine to deploy SOAJS on the remote machine you created.
