How to transfer GCS bucket from one account to another account without downloading data
Is Transfer Service for Cloud Data Chargable?
You don't transfert GCS bucket from an account to another one. The GCS bucket belong to a project.
You can grant new user on the project, on only on the bucket to allow them access. You can also create another bucket, in another project, with another name (project id and bucket name are global resources, 2 can't have the same name all around the world) and use Transfer service to duplicate the data. The service is free of charge if the data stay in the same region (if not, egress cost will be applied)
So, I've spent about 5 days searching for an answer here and on Google Docs, including having one of their support people help me. My domain still doesn't resolve to the website.
For the record, the website works if I use the ugly url (http://storage.googleapis.com/7thgradeplay.org/index.html).
I have transferred the domain to google domains, days ago.
I have verified the domain with Google Search Console. Billing is enabled and accruing. Public_html is set on all files and folders.
I am using Google Domains name servers. I am not using Google Cloud DNS.
Per Google support:
Synthetic Records: 302 redirect #.7thegradeplay.org to www.7thgradeplay.org
Custom Resource Records: www CNAME 7thegradeplay.org
Does this matter? storage bucket name is 7thegradeplay.org.
I think that's about all the config I've done.
All of these changes were done on Friday (3 days ago), and I still get a 404 error when I try to go to the website. I have followed the instructions and tried to troubleshoot with these pages:
https://cloud.google.com/dns/troubleshooting
https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/hosting-static-website
The only thing I varied was the name of the bucket in storage. I used a bucket name without the leading 'www.' Please don't tell me this is all it takes to break it.
All help is appreciated.
P.S. I added a bucket called www.7thegradeplay.org with all the same files. Waited 15 minutes. still 404 error.
P.P.S. I found an answer, but it didn't work: Connect Google domain to Google Cloud Bucket.
I will retry step #5 in the PPS above tomorrow, after the PS change has had time to 'stew'.
Again, any help is appreciated.
Your bucket name needs to match the URL exactly, so if you're visiting www.7thgradeplay.org, the bucket also needs to be named www.7thgradeplay.org.
Similarly, the DNS record for "www.7thgradeplay.org" must be a CNAME to "c.storage.googleapis.com.".
Checking DNS, I see a CNAME from "wwww.7thgradeplay.org" to "7thgradeplay.org". It needs to be "c.storage.googleapis.com." If you've already set that, you may need to wait a while for it to percolate. DNS can be slow to update.
Follow below steps to Host Static Website on Google Cloud Storage.
Creating a CNAME record in DNS :
Go to your respective Domain Service provider account and find DNS
settings and Create a CNAME record that points to
c.storage.googleapis.com.
NAME TYPE DATA
www.example.com CNAME c.storage.googleapis.com
After adding “CNAME” record it will take some time to propagate this
records.
Creating a Cloud Storage Bucket :
Go to Google cloud Console and select Storage from side menu, And
click on Create bucket.
Now create a bucket whose name must matches the CNAME record that
you have created for your domain in DNS settings.
For example, If you added a CNAME record pointing www.example.com
to c.storage.googleapis.com, then create a bucket with the name
www.example.com.
Uploading files to Cloud Storage Bucket :
Now In the list of buckets, click on the name of the bucket that you
have created.
Now create index.html file in your local system for your website
home page.
Now click on Upload files button and select index.html file that
you have created.
Browse the static website :
Now browse your website with your domain name in your web browser.
For example, If your domain name is www.example.com then browse
your website by going to http://www.example.com in your web
browser.
Now, You have successfully hosted your website on Google Cloud
Storage.
I am trying to create a gcs bucket using this link: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/creating-buckets, but when I click on "Open The Cloud Storage Browser", it asks me to select a project. I want the bucket content to be publicly available. Any idea how can I do that? I dont want my bucket to be associated with a project, instead it should be in a global namespace. TIA.
Creating a bucket requires specifying a project.
Making the bucket content publicly accessible is a separate matter - you can set ACLs or IAM policies on the bucket that grant public access.
I want to know the right/best way of having one machine copying data to Google Storage.
I need one machine to be able to write to a bucket, but not be able to create or delete other buckets.
While researching, I found out that you should create a account service so this account can log in to GC and then use the storage.
But the problem is, when the machine is from GCE, there are scopes. When setting up the scope "Default" it can Read from Google Storage, but can not write to it. Even after authenticated with a service account.
When the scope is Devstorage.read_write now the machine can create and remove buckets from that storage without login. I find that to risk.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks
The core problem here is that the "write" scope covers both write and delete, and that the GCE service account is likely a member of project-editors, which can create and delete buckets. It sounds like what you want to do is restrict a service account to only being able to affect a single bucket. You should be able to do this with these steps:
Create a service account in your project (and save the private key file).
In the permissions page for the project, make sure that service account is not a project editor for your project.
Using an account that does have full permissions to your project, create the bucket, then grant the service account write access to the bucket. Example gsutil commands to do this:
gsutil mb gs://yourbucket
gsutil acl ch -u your-service-account-name#gserviceaccount.com:W gs://yourbucket
Create a VM that does not have a GCE service account enabled.
Push the service account's private key file to that VM.
On the VM, gcloud auth activate-service-account --key-file=your-key-file.json
Now gsutil commands run on the VM should be able to write to (and delete) objects in that bucket, but not any other buckets in your project.
We are transferring Google cloud storage bucket name (naked domain name) from one user to another. Since we no longer have active account, who own the bucket name, the bucket was deleted from Google cloud storage. And then recreate the same bucket name, but the console panel continue deny to create the bucket with the following error.
The bucket you tried to create is a domain name owned by another user.
It has been several days, the bucket was deleted.
In order to create a bucket that maps to a domain name, the account creating the bucket must be the registered owner of the domain name. Presumably the old account is registered as the owner of the domain. You're going to want to have the new account go through the domain verification process at Google Webmaster Tools: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/
Here's some more documentation about how to claim ownership of the domain name: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35179
