Create GCP Compute Instance

gcloud compute instances create 'embed-workshop' \
    --image-family=debian-11 \
    --image-project=debian-cloud \
    --machine-type=g1-small \
    --scopes userinfo-email,cloud-platform \
    --metadata-from-file startup-script=startup-script.sh \
    --tags http-server

COPY OR CREATE .ENV FILE

We need to create the env file that contains our information. you can either ssh into your instance:

gcloud compute ssh embed-workshop

This will ssh you into your instance, you might want to switch to the pythonapp user with

su pythonapp

And create a file in the opt/app/application.

nano /opt/app/application/.env

Insert the values for the env file:

# A URL like https://my.looker.com:19999. No default value.
LOOKERSDK_BASE_URL=	https://YOUR_LOOKER_INSTANCE:19999 
#true, t, yes, y, or 1 (case insensitive) to enable SSL verification. Any other value is treated as false. Defaults to true if not set.
LOOKERSDK_VERIFY_SSL=true	
#Request timeout in seconds. Defaults to 120 for most platforms.
LOOKERSDK_TIMEOUT=120	
#API3 credentials client_id. This and client_secret must be provided in some fashion to the Node SDK, or no calls to the API will be authorized. No default value.
LOOKERSDK_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_LOOKER_CLIENT_ID	
#API3 credentials client_secret. No default value
LOOKERSDK_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_LOOKER_CLIENT_ID	

# Fake Authentication
EMBED_DOMAIN_HOST_URL=http://YOUR_:8080
LOOKER_USER_FIRSTNAME=Fernando
LOOKER_USER_LASTNAME=Embed
LOOKER_USER_EXTERNAL_USER_ID=Fernando_Test
LOOKER_USER_PERMISSIONS= access_data,see_user_dashboards
LOOKER_USER_GROUPS=46
LOOKER_MODELS=ecommerce,retention_analysis
LOOKER_DASHBOARD=https://looker.bytecode.io/dashboards/yObpQDk1qZNdymPe30dtIi

Another option is to us scp to transfer the env file into the instance and the move the file into the correct folder (we are not sshing as sudo so we normally cannot copy direct to the opt folder)

gcloud compute scp ./application/.env embed-workshop:~

gcloud compute ssh embed-workshop

sudo mv ~/.env /opt/app/.env
