I'd like to install a documentation software for technical and non technical reports on my google cloud environment.
A DokuWiki prebuilt package is installable from the launcher but is not free.
Does anybody know how to install a free documentation software like Trac (but also other solutions are well accepted) on an app engine? Or maybe within a container?
Thanks!
Bitnami provides containers and installers for the cloud.

This morning, I tried to get a coop student up and running on an older version of the Google App Engine for Eclipse plugin.
The following website and all related links appear to have been wiped off the face of the earth:
https://developers.google.com/eclipse/
Is this just down at the moment?
Is it possible to get older versions of the plugin?
While it is correct that the Google Plugin for Eclipse has been removed from Google's documentation, it is still available.
To install it, in Eclipse Neon, click "Install new Software" and add in this URL.
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.6
Next, click through the dialogues to allow the installation, and restart Eclipse.
While Google has chosen to stop supporting this, I personally feel that the new Cloud Tools for Eclipse plugin is just not ready. Also, in the early days, JDO was what many people were using on top of the data layer, and since GAE has been around for 10+ years, many of us have a lot of infrastructure built on top of this that is costly to change. While it's still possible, in theory, to run the DataNucleus enhancer manually, it's a huge pain that requires in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of GAE and DataNucleus and knowledge of which dependencies go together. It may have been well-documented in the past, but today it is not.
But be warned, one of our engineers recently lost the ability to deploy the project to Google App Engine using the GPE and was forced to use the gcloud tool, which doesn't seem to have sensible defaults, like deploying to a non-default version and instead will deploy straight to default, well, by default. So we're writing a script around that command that will pass in --no-promote so it doesn't immediately start migrating traffic... Visit the gcloud reference for app deploy for more details. Good luck!
For more information on the install process, please see How to install Google Plugin for Eclipse on mkyong.com.
GPE is indeed gone. It was not up to date and many parts of it no longer functioned. Over the coming year, even more core functionality was going to break. We wouldn't be doing anyone any favors by letting them invest their time in a broken tool. This is doubly true for new users such as your students. There are some old GPE snapshots floating around here and there, but those don't really work with GCP in 2018.
That official documentation is most likely gone for good, the plugin was deprecated in favour of the Google Cloud Tools for Eclipse. From Migrating from the Google Plugin for Eclipse:
The Google Plugin for Eclipse is deprecated and will not be supported
beyond Eclipse 4.6 (Neon). It will be removed in early 2018.
This document describes how to migrate a project that uses the Google
Plugin for Eclipse to the supported tooling.
You can check the snapshots of the docs on the Wayback Machine, and maybe still find the matching code repositories, if they haven't been removed as well.
But it's probably a good idea to switch to the supported tools sooner than later, especially since they're just getting started.

I am new to github I understand it is aversion control repository for collaborative software development. I wish to however explore that can we also install software such as SQL Server or java in github repository so that it provides a complete platform. Actually I have developed a software tool that uses HTML5 D3 and SQL Server I want it to upload to a Github repository so that other can see a live demo. I'm not sure how to do this - please comment
Github will only host the source code itself and static html pages. Nothing is actually executed there. Basically a folder on a computer. Passive. You would need to use a cloud platform like gcp or aws to do what you are describing.
I am currently working on a data science project using python 2.7 framework which uses few modules like numpy,flask,pandas and have successfully deployed the application to Google cloud using app engine. I am now planning to use scikit-learn ML framework and my concern if it is compatible with google app engine?. I have seen some past forums where they mentioned sci-kit learn is not supported on App Engine. Wanted to check if this is still the case. Appreciate your input's here
You're referring to the Pure Python limitation in the Python standard environment sandbox.
One possible solution is using the GAE Python flexible environment, which doesn't have such limitation. While fundamentally it uses Google Compute Engine (GCE) VMs underneath it still retains some of the GAE convenience features which you'd need to handle yourself if going straight with a GCE solution.
See the Choosing an App Engine Environment guide.
It looks like sci-kit learn is not supported on App Engine, and the using managed VMs is the preferred solution. See the resolution of this bug.
Also see this similar question for another alternative approach.
I suggest you check out Google Compute Engine or Google container Engine.
2.7 Standard only allows you to import whitelisted/proprietary modules (listed in the Docs), whereas the Flex Environment supports all Python modules.
The new 2nd Generation Python 3.7 Standard Environment supports using all modules as well as many other features that 2.7 Standard doesn't.
I've started an App Engine Project with Python 2.7 but had already be used to working on Python 3.
Does anyone know if there are any plans for Google's App Engine to work with Python 3?
App Engine's new (and currently beta) Flexible environment supports Python 3.4.
On August 10, 2016, Google Cloud Platform Blog announced that Python 3 was in beta on Google App Engine:
Developers running Python on Google App Engine have long asked for support for Python 3 and third-party Python packages. Today we're excited to announce the beta release of the Python runtime on App Engine Flexible Environment with support for Python 3.4 and 2.7. You can now develop applications in the Python version you prefer and create performant mobile and web backends using the frameworks and libraries of your choice. Meanwhile, developers benefit from App Engine's built-in services, such as autoscaling, load balancing, microservices support and traffic splitting and hence can focus on their code and not worry about infrastructure maintenance.
Yes there are plans, see
https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=909
(well, it's not really a concrete plan, but its an open issue and Google has acknowledged it's existance)
However, because Python 2.7.x and Python 3.x are quite similar, the priority to implement Python 3.x support from Google's perspective isn't very high. It's likely a massive amount of work to support it, and it isn't really a critical issue. Don't expect Python 3.x to be supported anytime soon.
I have used the GAE SDK for developing Python apps for a year or so. I would like to try my hand with Go. There is a different SDK download for Go and the docs say it is slightly different than the Python SDK. My question is do I need to install this separately and use different SDKs for Python/Go? Or is the Go SDK "inclusive" of the Python SDK?
