Setup git on gcp

To install Git on Ubuntu, follow these steps:

Update the package index:

sudo apt update

Install Git:

sudo apt install git

Verify the installation:

git --version

You should see the installed Git version.

Set up personal SSH keys on Linux

To clone a repo on bitbucket, you need to set up personal SSH keys

Use Git cmd to manage repo

clone the repo using clone command

git clone git@bitbucket.org:{org-name}/{repo-name}.git

above is just sample, you can get the command from clone button in bitbucket repository

move to repository folder using cd command

cd {repo-name}

use git status to check changes and your current branch

git status

change current branch using git checkout

git checkout {branch-name}

update your local branch and local commit history according to remote

git fetch

pull the changes from remote using git pull

git pull

Install docker so we can use docker compose

full step to install docker on ubuntu are in here

summarize steps:

Run the following command to uninstall all conflicting packages:

for pkg in docker.io docker-doc docker-compose docker-compose-v2 podman-docker containerd runc; do sudo apt-get remove $pkg; done

Set up Docker’s apt repository. the step are divided by 2:

First, Add Docker’s official GPG key, run these commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc

Second, Add the repository to Apt sources, run these commands:

echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | \
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update

Install the Docker packages.

sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

Verify that the Docker Engine installation is successful by running the hello-world image.

docker --version

Create SSL certificate

Step-by-step instructions to install Certbot on linux

Install snapd

sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd

Update snapd

sudo snap install core

Remove previous Certbot packages

sudo apt-get remove certbot

Install Certbot

sudo snap install --classic certbot

Once certbot is installed, execute the following command to ensure the certbot command can be run:

sudo ln -s /snap/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot

Generate SSL Certificate with Let’s Encrypt

sudo certbot certonly --manual --preferred-challenges dns -d *.domain.com -d domain.com

you will get acme value to put on your DNS, in above example, you will get 2 acme that need to put orderly one by one, below are sample DNS TXT acme

Please deploy a DNS TXT record under the name:

_acme-challenge.domain.com.

with the following value:

pdUqtrqSHGKKPv3x2yDyvi0hZhMEUmJtxay82Fhd29f

you need to put value above to your DNS dashboard, my DNS dashboard are look like this

after you add the record, you can enter on the cmd to continue to the next acme or the next step

Success generated SSL will have this info

Successfully received certificate.
Certificate is saved at: /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.com/fullchain.pem
Key is saved at:         /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.com/privkey.pem
This certificate expires on 2024-12-17.
These files will be updated when the certificate renews.

use both according your approach how to apply SSL on your domain

GCP IP Address

Upgrade your internal and external IP address on GCP to static, so it will not changing when the instance got restart

register your external address to your dns
