Quick Start

Quick Start LocalCloud in less than 1 minute.

  1. 01 Pull & Run the docker image.
  2. 02 Open the console, check service health.
  3. 03 Point your SDK to localhost, Refer to user guide on console for all ENV for service variables, make your first API call.
docker pull jaysen2apache/localcloud

docker run -d \
  -p 8080:8080 -p 4443:4443 \
  -p 8085-8087:8085-8087 \
  -p 9010:9010 -p 9050:9050 -p 6379:6379 \
  -m 4g --name localcloud \
  jaysen2apache/localcloud

eval "$(curl -s localhost:8080/_localcloud/env?format=shell)"
Zero Code Changes Use the same Google Cloud SDKs and CLI, redirect them to local with ENV variables.
Fast Development & Testing Stay local while you shape the app, then switch back to shared Google Cloud environments when you are ready.
Operational Visibility Console, health, env export, and seeded sample data make the runtime inspectable immediately.
