Can Jupyter Console be used with Google Cloud Datalab as a replacement for the javascript frontend?
It will be possible very soon to use Datalab with the Jupyter notebook. We have no plans to support Jupyter Console directly, but parts of Datalab should work.
Seems to me that one could use the Google Cloud Shell for the functionality you may be looking for? Located on the upper right of the Google Cloud Platform control page?

not sure if this has been asked before though I couldn't find it. I am using GCP services such as app engine, secret manager and storage but am using the Cloud Shell editor. Though I like it, I prefer coding on VScode due to familiarity. Any help on how could I achieve this on my VS code terminal?
#Sachin - We have support for all the features that are available in Cloud Shell in the local VSCode IDE through the cloud code plugin. Here is where you want to get started.
Quick start & Install
Plugin on VSCode Marketplace
I would like to run desktop applications (for debug and research purposes) on a Google Colab notebook.
Is that possible?
Check GNU Colab.
With it you can easily have a whole persistent desktop environment running on top of a Colaboratory VM instance.
Here's a video demonstration.
I just found out that in VSCode you can define a remote Jupyter server and edit the Jupyter notebook from within VSCode. You only need to define the URI of the Jupyter server. I was checking on the Google Colab but didn't find an option to get this URI.
Is there an easy way to link both the VSCode and Google Colab?
No, this isn't supported for a variety of reasons, e.g., Colab requires authenticating with a Google account, which isn't supported by vanilla Jupyter.
I have a huge wiki on redmine and I want to move it to confluence. I found this project https://github.com/vile/redmine2confluence-wiki that would do the job since Atlassian doesn't support this functionality. My problem is that I don't know how to run the script on Confluence server since I am using their cloud. Can anyone guide me ?
The majority of the process should be run on your redmine environment provided it has internet access & has python installed.
The last step cannot be performed for Confluence Cloud
Here's the part (at the end) which confirms this:
This will result in a script called fix-author.sql to be run on the Confluence server.
Being cloud, you don't have access to the underlying Confluence server or the database for that matter.
Is it possible to build a docker container using Google Cloud Container Builder from source code in Google Cloud Source Repository?
The docs say the code must be in Cloud Storage so I assume the answer is no but this seems crazy. Am I missing something? Is code in Google Source Code accessible via Cloud Storage?
This feature is now publicly supported, see API docs at https://cloud.google.com/container-builder/docs/api/reference/rest/v1/projects.builds#RepoSource
Let us know if you have any problems or feature requests or use cases this doesn't cover.
Unfortunately the API is fairly low level, and so building from GSR or other source control systems directly is not currently possible.
However it is possible to write a service which can watch for source code changes from your favorite SCM, copy that source into a GCS bucket (handling your SCM auth as necessary) and then trigger the Container Builder API to build an image.
Google is running an Alpha program for additional tools that are built on top of this API. Those who are interested are encouraged to sign up here.
