Deploy Appwrite on Google Cloud Platform using Compute Engine virtual machines.
Compute Engine deployment
Google Cloud Compute Engine provides virtual machines where you can deploy Appwrite with full control over the infrastructure. Create a VM instance with at least 2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM, configure firewall rules to allow HTTP/HTTPS traffic, then follow the general installation guide for Docker setup.
Custom installations
For manual installations on Compute Engine VMs or other Google Cloud services, follow the general installation guide which covers Docker setup and configuration for any Linux server.
Production considerations
For production deployments, optimization, and advanced configuration, see the production deployment guide.
Next steps
After successful deployment:
- Configure services - Set up email, storage, and other services
- Production optimization - Prepare for production workloads
- Updates and maintenance - Keep your instance up to date
