🛠 Step-by-Step Guide to Deploy Saleor on Google Cloud (GCE)

⸻

Step 1: Set Up Google Cloud Project
1. Go to Google Cloud Console
2. Create a new project or use an existing one.
3. Enable the Compute Engine API.
4. Optionally enable Cloud SQL and Cloud Storage if you plan to use managed DB or media storage.

⸻

Step 2: Create a VM Instance (Compute Engine)
1. Navigate to Compute Engine > VM Instances
2. Click Create Instance
• Choose a machine type: e2-medium or better
• Boot disk: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (or Debian)
• Allow HTTP & HTTPS traffic
3. Click Create

Once created, SSH into the instance.

⸻

Step 3: Install Docker & Docker Compose

SSH into your instance, then run:

# Update packages
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

# Install Docker
sudo apt install docker.io -y
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker

# Add user to docker group
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker

# Install Docker Compose
sudo apt install docker-compose -y

⸻

Step 4: Clone Saleor

git clone https://github.com/saleor/saleor-platform.git
cd saleor-platform

This repo includes all components: Saleor API, Dashboard, and Storefront.

⸻

Step 5: Configure Environment Variables

Edit the .env file:

cp .env.example .env
nano .env

Update:
• ALLOWED_HOSTS=your_public_ip_or_domain
• Set secrets, database URLs, etc. (You can use Docker Compose’s defaults for now)

⸻

Step 6: Run with Docker Compose

docker compose build
docker compose up -d

It will spin up:
• Saleor API (GraphQL)
• Dashboard (Admin Panel)
• Storefront (Next.js PWA)
• Postgres + Redis

⸻

Step 7: Access Saleor
• Storefront: http://your-vm-external-ip:3000
• Dashboard: http://your-vm-external-ip:9000
• GraphQL API: http://your-vm-external-ip:8000/graphql/

⸻

✅ Optional (But Recommended)
• Use Cloud SQL for a managed PostgreSQL database.
• Use Cloud Storage for static/media assets.
• Set up a domain name and HTTPS using NGINX + Let’s Encrypt or Cloud Load Balancer.
• Use GKE for production-grade, scalable deployments (I can guide you on this too).
