Minimum configuration for deploying to google app engine

[nascin]

I would like a small tutorial to deploy an app on the google cloud platform. I would like to deploy my app in a more professional environment.

I have experience with that.

In general, you have to deploy to App Engine "flexible" environment with "custom" runtime.
A new GCP "project" must be created for GAE app. One app - one project.

Your main deployment objective is to build a container with your Flet app (I think this Dockerfile would be a good base and it's slim enough).

Push container to Google Container Registry (GCR) in your project's region.

Describe GAE app with app.yaml. This is a good example for Pglet (Flet predecessor): https://github.com/pglet/gae/blob/main/app.yaml

Deploy the app from a GCR container from UI or Google SDK CLI: https://github.com/pglet/gae#readme

You may check GAE docs for mapping custom domain, enabling SSL, etc.

Give it a try - it should be pretty smooth.

Waiting for PR to Flet docs with your experience :)

I can't open the given pglet links.

Fair enough - that's repo is apparently private. Sorry about that!

I don't have any experience with google cloud, but with the minimal configuration you provided, I was able to successfully deploy.

The files looked like this:

File: app.yaml

runtime: custom
env: flex

manual_scaling:
  instances: 1

resources:
  cpu: 1
  memory_gb: 2
  disk_size_gb: 10

network:
  name: default

env_variables:
  GIN_MODE: release
  # Enable Google Secret Manager
  GOOGLE_SECRET_MANAGER_PROJECT: nascin-wallet

File: Dockerfile

FROM python:3-alpine

WORKDIR /app

COPY requirements.txt ./
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt

COPY . .

EXPOSE 8080

CMD ["python", "./main.py"]

Nice, thanks for the update!
