# On GCP (Compute Engine)

:::info

The instructions have been tested on `Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)`

:::

## Create a new instance

* Launch a new instance

![](../.gitbook/assets/gcp_ce_launch.png)

* Configure new instance
* For testing out Airbyte, an `e2.medium` instance is likely sufficient. Airbyte uses a lot of disk space with images and logs, so make sure to provision at least 30GBs of disk per node.
* For long-running Airbyte installations, we recommend a `n1-standard-2` instance.

![](../.gitbook/assets/gcp_ce_configure.png)

* `Create`

## Install environment
This page guides you through deploying Airbyte Open Source on a [Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Compute Engine instance](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances) by setting up the deployment environment, installing and starting Airbyte, and connecting it to the GCP instance.

:::info

Note: The following commands will be entered either on your local terminal or in your ssh session on the instance terminal. The comments above each command block will indicate where to enter the commands.
The instructions have been tested on a `Debian GNU/Linux 10` VM instance.

:::

* Set variables in your terminal
## Requirements

```bash
# In your workstation terminal
PROJECT_ID=PROJECT_ID_WHERE_YOU_CREATED_YOUR_INSTANCE
INSTANCE_NAME=airbyte # or anyother name that you've used
```
- To test Airbyte, we recommend an `e2.medium` instance and provision at least 30GBs of disk per node.
- To deploy Airbyte in a production environment, we recommend a `n1-standard-2` instance.

* Install `gcloud`

* List all instances in your project
4. List all instances in your project and verify that you can see the Airbyte instance you created in step 1 in your local terminal:

```bash
# Verify you can see your instance
gcloud --project $PROJECT_ID compute instances list
[...] # You should see the airbyte instance you just created
```

* Connect to your instance
5. Connect to your instance in your local terminal:

```bash
# In your workstation terminal
gcloud --project=$PROJECT_ID beta compute ssh $INSTANCE_NAME
gcloud --project=$PROJECT_ID beta compute SSH $INSTANCE_NAME
```

* Install `docker`
6. Install Docker on your VM instance by following the below commands in your VM terminal:

```bash
# In your ssh session on the instance terminal
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg2 software-properties-common
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo apt-key add --

## Install & start Airbyte
## Install and launch Airbyte

To install and launch Airbyte:

* Connect to your instance
1. In your local terminal, connect to your Google Cloud instance:

```bash
# In your workstation terminal
gcloud --project=$PROJECT_ID beta compute ssh $INSTANCE_NAME
gcloud --project=$PROJECT_ID beta compute SSH $INSTANCE_NAME
```

* Install Airbyte
2. In your VM terminal, install Airbyte:

```bash
# In your ssh session on the instance terminal
mkdir airbyte && cd airbyte
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/airbytehq/airbyte/master/{.env,docker-compose.yaml}
docker-compose up -d
```

## Connect to Airbyte

:::danger

For security reasons, we strongly recommend to not expose Airbyte publicly. Future versions will add support for SSL & Authentication.

:::caution
Warning: For security reasons, we strongly recommended not exposing Airbyte publicly.
:::

* Create ssh tunnel.
1. In your local terminal, create an SSH tunnel to connect the GCP instance to Airbyte:

```bash
# In your workstation terminal
gcloud --project=$PROJECT_ID beta compute ssh $INSTANCE_NAME -- -L 8000:localhost:8000 -N -f
gcloud --project=$PROJECT_ID beta compute SSH $INSTANCE_NAME -- -L 8000:localhost:8000 -N -f
```

* Just visit [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000) in your browser and start moving some data!
2. Verify the connection by visiting [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000) in your browser.
