If you're a Googler, note that you shouldn't use a corporate card for this. + +If you're on the Mojo team, ping jam to get added to the "mojodemos" project first. + +If you're not on Mojo team, then create a project on Google Compute Engine and replace "mojodemos" with your project-id below. Also make sure to enable the "Google Compute Engine" API" at your project's console https://console.developers.google.com + + +``` +gcloud auth login +gcloud config set project mojodemos +``` + + +## Create a VM +Now create a VM that'll run the binary. The Debian image doesn't work because of some GLib dependencies in our binaries that we should remove (http://crbug.com/433886). Until then, you have to use the Ubuntu image: +``` +gcloud compute instances create YOUR-VM-NAME-HERE --image ubuntu-1404-trusty-v20141031a --image-project ubuntu-os-cloud --zone us-central1-a +``` + +Make note of the external IP address of this machine; you'll use this later to connect to the Mojo app. + +Install some required packages: +``` +gcloud compute ssh YOUR-VM-NAME-HERE --command "sudo apt-get install libgconf-2-4 -y" --zone us-central1-a +gcloud compute ssh YOUR-VM-NAME-HERE --command "sudo apt-get install libnss3 -y" --zone us-central1-a +``` + +If you're not using mojodemos project-id and created a new project, add a firewall rule to allow port 80: +``` +gcloud compute firewall-rules create allow-http --description "Incoming http allowed." --allow tcp:80 +``` + + +## Push the Mojo binaries +Create a directory to hold the binaries: +``` +gcloud compute ssh YOUR-VM-NAME-HERE --command "mkdir ~/mojo" --zone us-central1-a +``` + +For this example, we'll use the examples/http_handler binary which is a minimal Mojo HTTP app. Assuming you've built the release binary: + +``` +gcloud compute copy-files out/Release/libhttp_handler.so out/Release/libhttp_server.so out/Release/libnetwork_service.so out/Release/mojo_shell YOUR-VM-NAME-HERE:~/mojo --zone us-central1-a +``` + + +## Run the Mojo app +``` +gcloud compute ssh YOUR-VM-NAME-HERE --command "sudo mojo/mojo_shell mojo://http_handler" --zone us-central1-a +``` + +Now you can visit the IP address from the previous step. + + +## Delete the VM +Once you're not using the VM anymore: +``` +gcloud compute instances delete YOUR-VM-NAME-HERE --zone us-central1-a +```
