I just started working with google cloud on a project (using VM instances). I connected to SSH straight from the browser.
I will have thousands of .txt files in a few directories, and the "Download file" option only allows me to download 1 file at a time.
What's the easiest way to download all those files (or the whole directory) straight to my computer? Or, what method should I use/learn?
The easiest way will be to install the Cloud SDK on your local machine (see installation instructions here) and use the gcloud compute scp command to download your files or directories. For example:
gcloud compute scp --recurse vm-instance:~/remote-directory ~/local-directory
This will copy a remote directory, ~/remote-directory, from vm-instance to the ~/local-directory directory of your local host. You'll find more details about this command usage here.

I'm trying to deploy my react build folder to my server. I'm using index.html and static that configured in my settings.py file to do that. (https://create-react-app.dev/docs/deployment/)
Since my backend is running on Ubuntu, I can't just copy from my Windows side and paste it. For now, I uploaded my build folder to my Google Drive and I download it on Ubuntu. But I still can't just copy and paste it on my PyCharm IDE, I can only copy the content in each file and then create a new file ony my server and paste the content to the file. This is just so time-consuming.
Is there any better way to do this?
you can use scp to upload the floder to remote
This link may help you：

use scp command
# in dest folder:
scp username#remove_address:/path/for/deploy ./
I am trying to understand how to work with production .env files in a django cookie cutter generated project.
The documentation for this is here:
https://cookiecutter-django.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developing-locally-docker.html#configuring-the-environment
The project is generated and creates .local and .production folders for environment variables.
I am attempting to deploy to a docker droplet in digital ocean.
Is my understanding correct:
The .production folder is NEVER checked into source control and are only generated as examples of what to create on a production machine when I am ready to deploy?
So when I do deploy , as part of that process I need to do a pull/clone of the project on the docker droplet and then either
manually create the .production folder with the production environment variables folder structure?
OR
RUN merge_production_dotenvs_in_dotenv.py locally to create .env file that I copy onto production and the configure my production.yml to use that?
Thanks
Chris
The production env files are NOT into source control, only the local ones are. At least that is the intend, production env files should not be in source control as they contain secrets.
However, they are added to the docker image by docker-compose when you run it. You may create a Docker machine using the Digital Ocean driver, activate it from your terminal, and start the image you've built by running docker-compose -f production.yml -d up.
Django cookiecutter does add .envs/.production and infact everything in .envs/ folder into source control. You would know this by checking the .gitignore file. The .gitignore file does not contain .envs meaning the .envs/ folder is checked into source control.
So when you want to deploy, you clone/pull the repository into your server and your .production/ folder will be there too.
You can also run merge_production_dotenvs_in_dotenv.py to create .env file but the .env would not be checked into source control so you have to copy the file to your server. Then you can configure your docker-compose file to include path/to/your/project/.env as the env_file for any service that needs the environment variables in the file.
You can use scp to copy files from your local machine to your server easily like this:
scp /path/to/local/file username#domain-or-ipaddress:/path/to/destination
I am new to appengine and have installed google-cloud-sdk from the AUR(arch user repository) and and the google-appengine-go extention at /opt/google-cloud-sdk
thanks to this I am able to run a dev server using
dev_appserver.py app.yaml
But when using goapp serve I found
goapp: command not found
After adding /opt/google-cloud-sdk/platform/google_appengine:$PATH to my $PATH variable in zshrc and running goapp serve i now get the error.
zsh: permission denied: goapp
if sudo goapp serve
sudo: goapp: command not found
Due to this I am unable to use the updated sdk to run tests using goapp test
Thank you in advance for your help.
I had the same problem and I think I figured out how it usually works.
You download the google cloud sdk (https://cloud.google.com/sdk/downloads)
After downloading and unzipping to the folder where you want to use it you have to executet the ./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh.
Appengine is not part of the download.
It can be chosen with that install.sh script.
it will download items like appengine.
Afterwards you have a folder called
platform/google_appengine
as you mentioned yourself.
You might have to change execution permissions like
chmod 755 platform/google_appengine/go*
Add folder platform/google_appengine to the PATH if not done already.
The command "which" will not show non-executable binaries.
If you did not change permissions it will not show the path, even being within the PATH variable.
Trying to run gcloud init to initialize the Google App Engine Engine SDK by typing ./google-cloud-sdk/bin/gcloud init but it showed: no such file or directory or command not found. Is something wrong with my PATH? My path is:
/Users/AnneLutz/Documents/google-cloud-sdk\
If you typing ./google-cloud-sdk/bin/gcloud init and you installed Cloud SDK in /Users/AnneLutz/Documents/google-cloud-sdk, then your current directory should be /Users/AnneLutz/Documents in order for what you type to work.
That said you should add /Users/AnneLutz/Documents/google-cloud-sdk/bin to you path. To do this, assuming you are using bash you can
source /Users/AnneLutz/Documents/google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc
To make it so that every-time you start your shell you can add it to shell profile. For example you can add above source command at the end of ~/.bash_profile file.
It looks like you used the option to download the SDK zip file and are then trying to configure your environment with that download option. If you aren't comfortable with setting environment variables, you might want to instead try installing using the "interactive" installer, which will automate the steps for making the commands always available on your system.
The directions are here, but for Mac OS users are basically:
Enter the following at a command prompt:
curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash
Restart your shell:
exec -l $SHELL
Run gcloud init to initialize the gcloud environment:
gcloud init
For many, this procedure is easier than getting everything configured manually.
I depolyed an app with gcloud preview app deploy.
Is there a way to download it to an other local machine?
How can I get the files? I tried it via ssh with no success (can't access the docker dir)
UPDATE:
I found this:
gcloud preview app modules download default --version 1 --output-dir=my_dir
but it's not loading files
Log
Downloading module [default] to [my_dir/default]
Fetching file list from server...

I am coming to Google App Engine after two years, I see that they have made lots of improvements and added tons of features. But sadly, their documentation sometimes leaves much to be desired.
I used to download my code of the uploaded version with the appcfg.pyusing the following command.
appcfg.py download_app -A <app_id> -V <version> <output-dir>
But of course now that they have culminated everything in the gcloud shell where appcfg.py is not accessible.
However, the following method helped me to download the deployed code:
Go the console and in to the Google App Engine.
Select the project you want to work with.
Once the project's dashboard opens, Click on the top right to
open the built in console window.
Which should load the cloud shell at the bottom, now if you check appcfg.py is available to you to use in this VM.
Hence, use appcfg.py download_app -A <app_id> -V <version> <output-dir> to download the code.
Now once you have the code in the desired folder, in order to download it on your local machine - You can open the docker code editor
Now here I assumed if I rightclicked and exported the desired
folder it would work,
but instead it gave me the following error message.
{"Error":"'concurrency' must be a number but it is [object Undefined]","Message":"'concurrency' must be a number but it is [object Undefined]"}
So, I thought maybe it would play along nicely if the the folder
was an archive. Go back to the cloud shell and using whatever
utility you fancy make an archive of the folder
zip -r mycode.zip mycode
Go to the docker code editor, export and download.
Now. Of course there might many more ways do it (hopefully) but this is what made sense to me after returning to Google App Engine after 2 years.
Currently, the best way to do this is to pull the files out of Docker.
Put instance into self-managed mode, so that you can ssh into it:
$ gcloud preview app modules set-managed-by default --version 1 --self
Find the name of the instance:
$ gcloud compute instances list | grep gae-default-1
Copy it out of the Docker container, change the permissions, and copy it back to your local machine:
$ gcloud compute ssh --zone=us-central1-f gae-default-1-1234 'sudo docker cp gaeapp:/app /tmp'
$ gcloud compute ssh --zone=us-central1-f gae-default-1-1234 "chown -R $USER /tmp/app"
$ gcloud compute copy-files --zone=us-central1-f gae-default-1-1234:/tmp/app /tmp/
$ ls /tmp/app
Dockerfile
[...]
IMHO, the best option today (Aug 2018) is:
Under the main menu, under Products, go to Tools -> Cloud Build -> Build history.
There, click the ID of the build you want.
Then, in the opened window (Build details), click the source link, the download of your compressed code begins.
As simple as that.
HTH.
As of Feb 2021, you can install appengine-sdk using pip
pip install appengine-sdk
Once installed, appcfg can be used to download the app code.
python -m appcfg download_app -A app_id [ -V version ] out-dir
Nothing works. Finally I found the source code this way. Simply go to google cloud storage. choose buckets starting with us.artifacts...., select containers > images > download the latest one (look by created date). unzip after downloaded file. it will have all the deployed source code of app engine.
