Gitian building setup Gitian Debian Google Console

Introduction

Many would ask what makes google console services good for hosting your gitian deterministic process? I like it mainly because it offers you variety of services which you can connect and the price can be adapted to your requirements.

Google concsole offers a lot nice features, even available for private person to try their services, which should be really enough to test and compare it to other services to decide if that is correct host for your server or not. I choose to write a guide for google console as I really like that everything works hassle free just from start and setup and it is very user friendly setup (maybe not really, but for advanced configuration it really is)

I hope this guide will help private customers as well as some developers to test and deploy their images in a very easy way and with ability to do it as a team with a selected team having access to the builds, each signing with its key.

Create Gitian instance

Here you can look up how to create instance for gitian build:
- How to create Gitian Debian 8 Instance template

 - [How to create VM from template](gitian-building-setup-gitian-debian-Google-Console-Create-instance-template.md) 

 - [~~How to create VM without template~~](gitian-building-setup-gitian-debian-Google-Console-Create_VM_from_template.md)
    
    _Guide for building without template is obsolete, but we will write one as if you do not run 3 VM's but only one, you probably will never need a template. It is the same as to [create template](gitian-building-setup-gitian-debian-Google-Console-Create-instance-template.md), you can look up here and follow same steps for VM's creation_

Prepare Google Console VM for gitian building

Prepare everything as root (run `sudo -s` to run script as root)

When you switched to the root user, wget script and make it executable, then run it, system will reboot as soon as it finishes:

sudo -s
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/cevap/43574e73c4ccfa8e32e3bcc4f89f97bd/raw/a01125c66b48838aded20accec109cc8371460b9/gitian-debian8-prepare-lxc.sh

# make script executable
chmod +x ./gitian-debian8-prepare-lxc.sh

# run script
./gitian-debian8-prepare-lxc.sh

run this as gitianuser

# Downoload the script
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/cevap/3f01398cbd5aea6b43278c5f14755a80/raw/0581361460220eb52c40368f474b64a48b67b860/gitian-debian8-prepare.sh

# make script executable
chmod +x ./gitian-debian8-prepare.sh

# run script
./gitian-debian8-prepare.sh

You can run this script too.
