Step 1: Signup for Google Cloud Platform


Signup for the Google Cloud Platform at https://console.cloud.google.com/freetrial


Step 2: Install the Cloud SDK


Install the Cloud SDK on your PC following the instructions in https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/quickstarts

See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/gcloud-compute section on how to set default compute region and zone manually. If you would like [gcloud init] to be able to do this for you the next time you run it, make sure the Compute Engine API is enabled for your project on the https://console.developers.google.com/apis page.

You must also enable "Google Compute Engine API" at https://console.developers.google.com/apis for the project (created automatically for you if you have none) in order to continue with the next step.


Step 3: Create a new Linux VM


Once the Cloud SDK is installed and verified to be working, create a new Linux VM using the following commands:

...

Code Block
titleOn Windows
echo "== Add swap file (required for low memory machine types eg f1-micro) =="
gcloud compute ssh %INSTANCE_NAME% --command="sudo fallocate -l 1G /swapfile; sudo chmod 600 /swapfile; sudo mkswap /swapfile; sudo swapon /swapfile; sudo swapon -s;"


Step 4: Deploy Joget in the VM


Run the following commands to download and install Joget Enterprise Edition:

...

Press CTRL-C to stop viewing the logs.

Step 5: Add Firewall Rule for Default Apache Tomcat Port 8080
