singlevm

This example uses the mpdev tool to generate a Deployment Manager template for a Wordpress Google Compute Engine virtual machine (VM).

To generate a Deployment Manager template for your VM product, see the Google Cloud Marketplace documentation for Creating your deployment package.

Prerequisites

Your Google Cloud project must contain a Wordpress VM image to use in the Deployment Manager template. To copy the Wordpress VM image from the click-to-deploy project to your project, run the following command:

PROJECT_ID=<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>
gcloud compute --project=$PROJECT_ID images create wordpress --source-image=wordpress-v20200629 --source-image-project=click-to-deploy-images

Generate a Deployment Manager template

To retrieve this example's Autogen specification, execute the following command, which checks out the specification to a directory named wordpress.

mpdev pkg get https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/marketplace-tools.git/examples/deployment-manager/autogen/singlevm/ wordpress

Update the Autogen specification

You use the command mpdev cfg set to update the configurations.yaml file with your product's projectId and image values.

Set the variables for the Google Cloud project and name of the VM image:

PROJECT_ID=<PROJECT_ID>
IMAGE=wordpress

Next, run the following commands to update the values in configurations.yaml:

mpdev cfg set wordpress/ projectId $PROJECT_ID
mpdev cfg set wordpress/ image $IMAGE

Optional: For further customizations, manually edit configurations.yaml. Editing yaml can be error-prone. We recommend using an IDE and following these instructions to set up auto-complete and schema validation.

Generate the Deployment Manager template

To generate a Deployment Manager template, run the following command with the updated Autogen specification:

mpdev apply -f wordpress/configurations.yaml

The template is zipped to wordpress/template.zip, which is the location specified in the DeploymentManagerTemplate resource of wordpress/configurations.yaml.

Deploy the VM

To verify the template is properly configured, create a deployment from the template:

TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d)
unzip wordpress/template.zip -d $TMPDIR
gcloud deployment-manager deployments create wordpress --config $TMPDIR/test_config.yaml
