Cloud Launcher

Simplifying the process of launching applications on Google Cloud Platform.

Global setup

Install the Google APIs Client Library for Python.

Per-project setup

This is a one-time setup for each Google Cloud Platform project you want to use with Cloud Launcher.

• Modify src/settings.sh to specify a Google Cloud Platform project you have access to that has GCE enabled.

• Create a directory to store your credentials and set appropriate permissions:

  mkdir -m 700 -p "$HOME/cloud/projects/$PROJECT"

• Open Google Cloud developer console

• Go to your Google Cloud Platform project

  • Click on your project name
  • Click on "APIs & Auth"
  • Click on "Credentials"
  • Under "OAuth", click on "Create a new Client ID"
    • Choose "Installed application"
    • Application type is "other"
    • Click on "Create Client ID"
  • Under the new section "Client ID for native application", click on "Download JSON"
  • Save this file as $HOME/cloud/projects/$PROJECT/client_secrets.json

• Now you can launch applications! Try one of the examples or look at the app catalog.
