Cryptotux is not (yet?) on Google compute engine official marketplace. But don't worry you can still run Cryptotux on Google Cloud platform, as a custom image.
- An existing project on Google Cloud Platform. If not, create one.
- packer installed on your system
-
Go to your Google account and export your JSON credentials file, with the necessary roles. Name it gcp-account.json, place it in this folder or change the path in the deploy-cryptotux-server-gcloud.json file.
-
Enable Google compute engine API by going on this link https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/compute.googleapis.com/landing?project=YOUR_GCP_PROJECT. Replace 'YOURGCPPROJECT' by the name of your project.
-
Build cryptotux custom image on your google cloud platform account
packer build deploy-cryptotux-server-gcloud.json
-
Go to Compute Engine and create a VM Instance
- Change the boot disk
- Choose the boot disk you just built and deploy the server. Size the server with the parameters of your choice, as usual.
