Install UCS on Google Cloud Platform - VM Debian

Hello everyone, my firsts steps with UCS.
I would like to know if is possible to install UCS on Google Cloud, with a Debian VM.

Thanks all.

not really…
it is a highly modified Debian…
it has to be installed from the image…

you might. be able to “hack it” in…
if you really really wanted to… but it would be a bit long winded.

Oh, thanks

That’s what I thought…

I’m trying to do this:
" VirtualBox environment, you can use the VBoxManage tool to convert a .vdi or .qcow2 disk image to disk.raw format."

ah… so there is a few ways to do this…

  1. convert the univention boot iso to the goolge format
    OR
  2. build the full system outside of google .
    OR
  3. do 2 above, install “REAR” backup, utilize an external file endpoint , load rear boot image into your google setup & then “restore” the google vm from the backup

you will most likely need a dummy DNS server to shill the records inside you network.

spin up a machine locally on a vm by running the install CD for univention…
get it working with all your settings & ensure your domain names are correct

keeping in mind it will be running in google and not your local network & the license file MUST match the domain name in the finished state

once its all running , shut down the vm
then do a convert & upload to google cloud.
once it is powered up, it will revert to using their local DNS (once you update the DNS settings in univention )
and the internal domain names must all use the correct endpoints, which is why you had to dummy up your DNS server when you built the image.

because before you were working in your local NW , but now you are in the google cloud…

Wow, Thank you very much for your attention…and patience…

I´ll try to do somethings…need time to stop other issues :slight_smile:
