These scripts use the gcloud command-line tool to configure a Google Compute Engine instance to run the Kiosk API.
Use SETUP.sh to create the instance.
This will create an instance and invoke the
STARTUP.sh script, which downloads dependencies
and builds the Kiosk API server. The startup script runs in the
background after the instance has been created and takes a few
minutes to complete. Track its progress with
tail -f /var/log/syslog.
Inside the instance, the server is built and runs as root.
If you connect through the Google Cloud Console, you'll
be signed in with your Google user id. Change to root
with sudo su -.
When the server is built, it will be automatically started.
Connect to it by setting the KIOSK_SERVER environment
variable to the address of your instance and using the k
tool or by running go test from the root of this repository.
Note that go test is a destructive test - running it will
delete the signs and kiosks currently stored on the server
and replace them with new ones.
If you are able to connect locally (from within your instance)
but not remotely, rerun the second command in SETUP.sh
(gcloud compute firewall-rules create). Give this a minute
or two to propagate, and then the firewall rules should be updated
to allow the remote connection.
