* GCP does not route any traffic to your services unless the service is "healthy". It might take a few minutes after startup before the services is classified as healthy. Until then you will only see some generic error message.
These are the steps to set up the build server on a clean infrastructure:
1. Configure the tools on your local machine:
```bash
./local_setup.sh
```
1. Delete the old cluster, if it still exists:
```bash
cd kubernetes/cluster
./cluster_delete.sh
```
1. Create the cluster:
```bash
cd kubernetes/cluster
./cluster_create.sh
```
1. Create the disk storage, if it does not yet exist:
```bash
cd kubernetes/cluster
./disk_create.sh
```
1. SSH into the VM instance mounting the volume, find the mount point and then set
```bash
# go to the mount point of the volume
cd /var/lib/kubelet/plugins/kubernetes.io/gce-pd/mounts/jenkins-home
# change the permissions
sudo chmod a+rwx
```
1. Push the docker images to gcr.io:
```bash
cd containers
#for each subfolder:
./build_deploy.sh <foldername>
```
1. Deploy the stack:
```bash
cd kubernetes
./deploy.sh
```
1. Configure it
## creating basic authentication for reverse proxy
1. create auth file, based on [ingress-nginx documentation](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/tree/master/docs/examples/auth/basic)
If you want to build/update/test docker container for Windows, you need to do this on a Windows machine. Here are the instructions to set up such a machine on GCP.
* You need to [configure Internet Explorer to allow downloads](https://improveandrepeat.com/2018/03/internet-explorer-on-windows-server-enable-file-downloads/).
* Install Chrome, as Internet Explorer is a bit outdated.
* Install a nice IDE to edit Dockerfiles and scripts. [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/Download) is a good option.
1. Pick a GCP Windows image with Desktop Support.
2. Use the "Server Manager" application to install the "features":
* Containers
* HyperV
3. Install git with the default options: https://git-scm.com/download/win
7. Install [gcloud](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/quickstart-windows) and set it up according to the instructions. Then run `gcloud auth configure-docker` to authorize docker to push images.
