Complete Cloud Launcher installation

Your Buddy installation on the Google Cloud Platform is almost ready.

Buddy will now finalize the installation and auto-update itself to the newest version. Once ready, it will ask you to create your first workspace—the last step to complete the installation. Here's a quick guide that will walk you through the final steps of the process.

1. Copy Admin password

The Cloud Launcher has generated a temporary Admin password required to access your workspace creation page:

Temporary password in GCP

2. Open Buddy Web User Interface

Once you copy the password, click Visit the site button in the Deployment manager:

3. Wait for Buddy to finish updates

During the first launch Buddy will automatically download new updates for you. Usually the process takes 1-2 minutes:

4. Accept SSL certificate warning

Buddy is HTTPS only and uses a self-signed SSL certificate. You can provide your own SSL certificate later, but for now you can safely proceed:

5. Provide the password generated by Google Cloud Launcher

Paste the password that you copied from the Google's Deployment Manager panel:

6. Setup your workspace

You will be transfered to the workspace creation screen. Here you can set up email and password that you will use to authenticate to your account:
