# gcp-vm-container
|
|
|
|
To get started, run `coder templates init`. When prompted, select this template,
|
|
and follow the on-screen instructions to proceed.
|
|
|
|
## Authentication
|
|
|
|
This template assumes that coderd is run in an environment that is authenticated
|
|
with Google Cloud. For example, run `gcloud auth application-default login` to
|
|
import credentials on the system and user running coderd. For other ways to
|
|
authenticate [consult the Terraform
|
|
docs](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/google/latest/docs/guides/getting_started#adding-credentials).
|
|
|
|
## Service account
|
|
|
|
Coder requires a Google Cloud Service Account to provision workspaces. To create
|
|
a service account:
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to the [CGP
|
|
console](https://console.cloud.google.com/projectselector/iam-admin/serviceaccounts/create),
|
|
and select your Cloud project (if you have more than one project associated
|
|
with your account)
|
|
|
|
1. Provide a service account name (this name is used to generate the service
|
|
account ID)
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Create and continue**, and choose the following IAM roles to grant to
|
|
the service account:
|
|
|
|
- Compute Admin
|
|
- Service Account User
|
|
|
|
Click **Continue**.
|
|
|
|
1. Click on the created key, and navigate to the **Keys** tab.
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Add key** > **Create new key**.
|
|
|
|
1. Generate a **JSON private key**, which will be what you provide to Coder
|
|
during the setup process.
|
|

|
## code-server
|
|
|
|
`code-server` is installed via the `startup_script` argument in the `coder_agent`
|
|
resource block. The `coder_app` resource is defined to access `code-server` through
|
|
the dashboard UI over `localhost:13337`.
