Here’s the script.
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg] \ https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt cloud-sdk main" | \ sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates sudo curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | \ sudo apt-key --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg add - sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk |

Here’s a quick script to stand up a web server based on Centos image.
gcloud compute instances create [VM-NAME] \ --zone=[ZONE] \ --image-family=debian-9 \ --image-project=debian-cloud \ --tags=allow-ssh,allow-health-check \ --subnet=lb-subnet \ --metadata=startup-script='#! /bin/bash apt-get update apt-get install apache2 -y a2ensite default-ssl a2enmod ssl vm_hostname="$(curl -H "Metadata-Flavor:Google" \ http://169.254.169.254/computeMetadata/v1/instance/name)" echo "Page served from: $vm_hostname" | \ tee /var/www/html/index.html systemctl restart apache2' |

Where’s Apache and webroot for the different distros?
Webroot:
# Redhat, Fedora, Centos, Amazon Linux /var/www/html # Debian, Ubuntu, Mint /var/www/html |
# Redhat, Fedora, Centos, Amazon Linux /var/www/html # Debian, Ubuntu, Mint /var/www/html
Apache Configuration:
# Redhat, Fedora, Centos, Amazon Linux /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf # Debian, Ubuntu, Mint /etc/apache2/sites-available/default |
# Redhat, Fedora, Centos, Amazon Linux /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf # Debian, Ubuntu, Mint /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
I’m thinking about using the Linux desktop again after 4 years of inactivity. The MacOS was the desktop of choice. I’ve been happy with the switch. I don’t anticipate abandoning it any time soon. Lately I thought about sharpening up my Linux skills after having been dormant for years. I need a Linux platform that I can work with. Ubuntu is my default, but there are other distros equally interesting. Mint, Debian and Fedora come to mind. Instead of having multiple boot partitions, I might install Ubuntu as the base distro and install Virtualbox. Other distros can be fired up as virtual machines. In that way, it’s simple to manage. I just need a heftier machine that can handle several VMs running at the same time. That’s the plan for the next several weeks.
