1. Go to `Google Cloud Console <https://cloud.google.com/console> `_ and create a new Cloud Project with `Compute Engine enabled <https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/signup> `_ .

2. Download and configure the `Google Cloud SDK <https://developers.google.com/cloud/sdk/> `_ to use your project with the following commands:
.. code-block :: bash
$ curl https://dl.google.com/dl/cloudsdk/release/install_google_cloud_sdk.bash | bash
$ gcloud auth login
Enter a cloud project id (or leave blank to not set): <google-cloud-project-id>
3. Start a new instance, select a zone close to you and the desired instance size:
.. code-block :: bash
$ gcutil addinstance docker-playground --image=backports-debian-7
1: europe-west1-a
...
4: us-central1-b
>>> <zone-index>
1: machineTypes/n1-standard-1
...
12: machineTypes/g1-small
>>> <machine-type-index>
4. Connect to the instance using SSH:
.. code-block :: bash
$ gcutil ssh docker-playground
docker-playground:~$
5. Enable IP forwarding:
.. code-block :: bash
docker-playground:~$ echo net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/99-docker.conf
docker-playground:~$ sudo sysctl --system
6. Install the latest Docker release and configure it to start when the instance boots:
.. code-block :: bash
docker-playground:~$ curl get.docker.io | bash
docker-playground:~$ sudo update-rc.d docker defaults

7. If running in zones: us-central1-a, europe-west1-1, and europe-west1-b, the docker daemon must be started with the `-mtu` flag. Without the flag, you may experience intermittent network pauses.

.. code-block :: bash
2013-12-20 19:19:35 -05:00
docker -d -mtu 1460

8. Start a new container:
2013-12-20 19:06:28 -05:00
.. code-block :: bash
2013-12-20 19:19:35 -05:00
docker-playground:~$ sudo docker run busybox echo 'docker on GCE \o/'
2013-12-20 19:06:28 -05:00
