Update cloud-shell-tutorial.md #549

Open FossPrime opened 8 months ago

Instructions were outdated.

Token is now default and server.sh no longer exists.

Would be nice to have a way to generate the real link... with token and IP... but I see no way to do that. Maybe pipe it in sed?

Turns out, a firewall rule is not needed if you use ssh port forwarding, which is built into gcloud and works from Cloud Shell

This prints a link with a proxy by Google Cloud Shell:
gcloud compute ssh "openvscode-server" -- -L 127.0.0.1:3000:[::1]:3000 "openvscode-server | sed 's|://localhost:3000|s://3000-$WEB_HOST|'"

The url is stored in the env var WEB_HOST, its port 80 by default but can be turned into 3000 by prepending 3000--

Your session will be terminated every hour unless you interact with the shell
