Build your desired flavour by running its Please target (see below).\n2. Boot your new image in Google Compute Engine.\n3. SSH into your new instance via OS Login.\n4. Go to https://remotedesktop.google.com/headless and skip to through authorise to get the command to run on your new instance. Run the command and follow the instructions.\n5. The new instance will appear in https://remotedesktop.google.com/access.\n\n## Flavours\n\n### Debian\n\n```bash\nGCP_PROJECT_ID=\"my-project\" ./pleasew run //flavours/debian:xfce4_build\n```\n\n### Kali Linux\n\n```bash\nGCP_PROJECT_ID=\"my-project\" ./pleasew run //flavours/debian/kali:xfce4_build\n```\n\nKali Linux takes some time to build as it is based off Debian and replaces the Debian's sources with Kali's sources and thus replaces a lot of the existing packages.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvjftw%2Fcloud-desktops","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fvjftw%2Fcloud-desktops","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvjftw%2Fcloud-desktops/lists"}
