Trying to get a server setup on Google Cloud Platform is incredibly frustrating, y'all.

This needs to be a terraform apply and open a browser sort of thing.

@Jeremiah i literally gave up and used a mastodon cloud provider... i used to be a cloud eng!

made me understand the allure of docker/podman (which they should probably try)

tharper,

@Jeremiah Do you want to host just yourself or are you trying to get a community server going?

@tharper I’m helping a non-profit get a server setup for their members’ use. It has GCP credits, so using those.

Why in the year of 2023 is IPv6 not enabled by default on GCP? Why? WHY?? And why is it 18 steps to enable?

Update: I am giving up on getting an Mastodon instance setup on for now. There is no happy path, only broken documentation examples or load balancer termination (which doesn't work because of outbound requests).

@Jeremiah that sucks! How much is the fault of Mastodon, and how much is the fault of GCP?

@evan At this point, 100% GCP's fault. People have told me Mastodon supports IPv6, but I never got to the point of having a VM with it to test.

GCP only announced IPv6 support in December, but it's still not ready even for the simplest of use cases apparently.
