How can I host an Docker container based app to Firebase static hosting ?
Is it even doable/allowed ?
Or should I host Docker based apps on services like Digital Ocean / Vultr / Linode / AWS instead ?
I'm using Firebase as my main database and since it comes with hosting in the same pricing model I would like to make good use of it and have everything on Google based servers rather than hosting elsewhere (such as Digital Ocean) and connecting to my database which would then be on Google.
Thank you
Firebase Hosting is a static file host: it serves files without executing their content. While it was recently expanded to support hosting of Express.js apps through Cloud Functions, Firebase Hosting is not a generic docker host.

I would like to know if I can make the airflow UI accessible to all people who have a user, web page type. For this, I would have to connect it to a server, no? Which server do you recommend for this? I was looking around and some were using Amazon EC2.
If your goal is just making the airflow UI visible to public, there is a lot of solutions, where you can do it even in your local computer (of course it is not a good idea).
Before choosing the cloud provider and the service, you need to think about the requirements:
in your team, do you have the skills and the time to manage the server? if no you need a managed service like GCP cloud composer or AWS MWAA.
which executor yow want to use? KubernetesExecutor? CeleryExecutor on K8S? if yes you need a K8S service and not just a VM.
do you have a huge loading? do you need a HA mode? what about the scalability?
After defining the requirements, you can choose between the options:
Small server with LocalExecutor or CeleryExecutor on a VM -> AWS EC2 with a static IP and Route 53 for DNS name
A scalable server in HA mode on a K8S cluser -> AWS EKS or google GKE
A managed service and focusing only on the development part -> google cloud composer
I am having a domain from firebase hosting that looks like this below
discourse-314707.web.app
I am also having an EC2 instance with the following ip address below
54.163.205.15
how can i make "discourse-314707.web.app" in firebase hosting to point to "54.163.205.15" in my EC# instance for example if i have installed an apache it displays the apache page
The discourse-314707.web.app is a subdomain on Firebase's web.app domain that it automatically sets up for any Firebase project.
Since the DNS for all web.app subdomains is managed by Firebase itself, there is no way for you to configure this to point to your own IP address.
The closest you can get it setting up your Firebase web site as a proxy for the one on EC2 with a micro-service. But you'll need to be on the paid plan for that, and it'll quite some hassle for the auto-generated subdomain.
If you register your own domain for the web app, you control the DNS settings for that domain and can point to whatever hosting service you want.
I am facing trouble when my app written using NextJS with PrismaIO as database ORM deployed to Vercel tries to connect with MYSQL database which is hosted on AWS RDS fails due to time out. It shows below error after a while:
502: BAD_GATEWAY
Code: NO_RESPONSE_FROM_FUNCTION
ID: bom1::zrmv2-1609789429213-86b5142a230c
I have added my app hosted at Vercel's IP address whitelisted in security group of AWS RDS too but the app still timesout and fails with 502 error page. Please help.
Thank you everyone this has turned frustrating for me and this way I can't push it to production with my RDS db exposed to all IPs so I am dropping this use-case and converting my NextJS app to CRA based UI which will be deployed to S3 so that RDS and S3 can have common security protocol. I have tested the RDS with EC2 sharing common security group and they connect really well and works out of the box. Thank you everyone once again.
I have a web app with a React frontend on Firebase that connects to a Django backend running on Google App Engine.
I have this setup duplicated for a "staging" environment. The problem is that anyone can access this staging environment.
I'd like to set this up so that you need to be on our VPN to access it.
Can someone point me in the right direction to setup this VPN and move the staging environment behind it?
If you are using Firebase Hosting I believe there's no other way to restrict the access and it does not have a firewall feature. You should use authentication method to restrict and limit who can access your web app.
In App Engine, you can restrict the access of your web server/application by using the following:
App Engine Firewall - #JohnHanley answer, control which using IP addresses can connect to the app.
Identity Aware Proxy - without using VPN you can limit who can access of your App Engine by using their user account. IAP is free but when used with Compute Engine, the required load balancing and firewall configuration may incur additional costs.
App Engine with Load Balancer - to secure and make your App Engine(Standard & Flexible) receives only internal and Cloud Load Balancing traffic
I'd like to set this up so that you need to be on our VPN to access
it.
You cannot limit access to just your VPN. App Engine is in Google's network and you cannot limit access based upon a VPN.
You can use App Engine firewall rules to control which IP addresses can connect to the service. Firebase however does not have firewall rules.
If the public side of your Internet router has a static IP address, then this is simple to setup.
I recommend using authorization to limit who can access your services.
I have a bucket in Google Cloud which I have upload Angular template i.e. http://digitaldevnet.appspot.com
then I have VM instance IP where I have WordPress website i.e.
http://35.200.194.201
I found different tutorials where you can connect domain to Google Cloud hosting
but I want to connect appspot link i.e. http://digitaldevnet.appspot.com to WordPress site
can be connected and once we browse it should work as VM may be offline sometime.
Any recommendation and tutorial, please let me know
You would need to set up a Load balancer in order to direct your traffic between the GCE instance and the bucket, you can find the instructions for this over here.
Nevertheless, it would be a bit complicated as you would need to set up the configuration and some health checks so that the GCE instance is not accessible when it's down.
Hope you find this useful.
