Google Cloud Helper
The idea of this CLI tool is to basically start, stop and delete Google Compute Engine instances, while automatically mapping the ephemeral IPs in Google Cloud DNS.
I'm using this for remote development.
Installation
$ npm install -g gcloud-helper
Usage
$ gcloud-helper start europe-west1-b dev-1 domain1.com,domain2.com
Setup
Variables
Some variables have to be set in the env (/etc/environment, ~/.bashrc or even export):
GCLOUD_PROJECT_KEY_JSON, e.g. '/home/you/gcloud-key.json'GCLOUD_PROJECT_ID, e.g. 'grape-spaceship-123'
TODO:
- Add linter
- Add unit tests for commands, arguments, showing help, spying on what's called from gcloud, etc.
- Support subdomains on instance start, for Cloud DNS update? ()
