  • •Scale to zero
  • •Infinite storage (and file deletion protection, file versions, and multi region)
  • •pb_data/pb_public/pb_hooks all in the same file system
  • •Backups can be done either by PocketBase or by protecting the bucket

Prerequisites 

  • •Google Cloud project
  • •Google Cloud Storage bucket

Getting Started

Steps 

Create a new service

Google Cloud Build 

  • •Setup with Cloud Build
    • •Repository Provider: GitHub
    • •Select Repository: THIS_REPOSITORY_FORK
  • •Branch: main
  • •Build Configuration: Dockerfile

General Settings

  • •Maximum number of requests per container is set to 1000
  • •Maximum number of containers is set to 1
  • •Timeout is set to 3600

Add Health Checks 

You can add a health check to your service that uses Pocketbase's health check endpoint /api/health.

Deploy and Wait 

Now create the service and wait for the cloud build to finish.

If everything goes well, you should see the service deployed.

FAQ 

What if I have local files that I want to use? 

pb_data, pb_public, and pb_hooks are all directories you might use during development.

You can upload these directories to your Google Cloud Storage bucket you created earlier to the root directory.

Can I use a custom domain? 

Yes, you can use a custom domain. You can follow the guide on the official documentation.
