Setting up the Gradle Build Cache Node on Google Cloud Platform.

To setup the Gradle Remote Cache you need to do the following:

Create a new Instance

  • Open the Cloud Platform console.

  • Select VM Instances.

  • Click on an existing node, and use Create Similar to create a new node. Note: This node has to be tagged with a network tag called gradle-remote-cache-node for it to be picked up by the load balancer. Make sure you create the node in the zone us-east-1-b.

  • Click Allow HTTP Traffic and Allow HTTPs Traffic. By doing do, you are allowing UberProxy access to the remote cache. The load balancer is only available when you are on a corp network.

  • Connect to the newly created node using an SSH session. You can use the gcloud CLI for this. Note: Use the external IP of the newly created node to SSH.

# Note: To switch projects use `gcloud config set project fetch-licenses`
# Will show the newly created instance
gcloud compute instances list
# Will setup ssh configurations
gcloud compute config-ssh
ssh 123.123.123.123

Starting the Gradle Remote Cache Node

# Create a folder `Workspace` in the home directory.
mkdir Workspace
cd Workspace
# using the template in this checkout create config.yaml
vi config.yaml
# using the template in this checkout create run_node, replace YOURUSERNAME with your username
vi run_node
chmod +x run_node
mkdir data
mkdir gradle-node
wget https://docs.gradle.com/build-cache-node/jar/build-cache-node-9.3.jar -p gradle-node
sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk tmux
# Create a `tmux` session
tmux new -s gradle
sudo ./run_node
# Detach from the tmux session ctrl+b then d
exit

Update the gradle-remote-cache-group instance group.

  • Open Instance groups in gcloud console
  • Click on gradle-remote-cache-group and select Edit Group.
  • Select the new node(s), from the drop-down list.
  • Remove old nodes from the list
