Discovered that Google gives anyone with Gmail account a FREE Cloud Shell with Debian 7 VM/5Gb

  • https://cloud.google.com/free/

    It's included in free tier last forever.

    Thanked by 2beagle hanoi
  • very good!

  • Ohhh, I didn't know.

  • Mine is Debian 9.3.

    In case someone wondering, no you can't host anything to the public, internal testing is okay.

    • Terminates if session inactive after an hour
    • Prolonged usage or computational or network intensive processes are not supported
    • Outgoing connections from Cloud Shell can only be made to the following TCP ports: 20, 21, 22, 80, 443, 2375, 2376, 3306, 8080, 9600, and 50051
    • Allowed port for internal web preview: 8080-8084

    It will launch a g1-small (0.5 vCPU, 1.7GB RAM), comes with 5GB persistent storage
    Boost mode allowed up to n1-standard-1 (1 vCPU, 3.75GB RAM)

    I would say it is great for small project testing, it comes with Google Cloud SDK and binaries of Java, Go, Python, Node.js, PHP, Ruby and .NET

    The entire 3rd world is busy trying to figure out how to MINING on these despite restrictions

  • I am chargeback @cociu if my Windows do not boot on this fscking thing how many times I have to tell this is not supported for this plan without sister!

  • uptime said: plan without sister!

    Google Shell? No.
    You can on their Compute Platform after dinking around with the storage I think (although it's something like 0.4 cpu / 256mb memory - free f1-micro forever IIRC)

    No - cPanel only.

    IIRC no or very small bandwidth allocation. Gets pretty expensive really easy.

    I don't get what's up with Google's bandwidth pricing. At 0.12$ per GB, it's pretty brutal. Even AWS is cheaper, costing "just" 0.09$ per GB.

  • @FAT32 I am able to host my website on this, why can't you host anything to public?

    Javascript XMR miner works fine, 30H/sec, premium.

    How? I am sure there will be bandwidth cost and stuff like this (Web preview only available for your own account)

    Well depends on how you game it. It lasts 30 minutes at most, unless you set up background processes to continue running to avoid the idling reset.

  • Wow, thanks. Mind=blown

  • just for the record.

  • Just asking, can you run a VPN there?

  • WSSWSS Member

    Being that it's in a controlled docker instance with general ports blocked and no way to forward: Sure you can run OpenVPN if you want; you just won't be able to connect to it.

  • Just asking, can you run a VPN there?

    Mhm. I'll be kind and tell you now not to do it.

    VPN, not sure, but SSH tunnel is still possible
