Hi i just setup a nightscout instance following your instructions succesfully. now my thoughts: VM hardening. which ports are necessary for nightscout to run. i would recommend opening just these ports in the google cloud firewall would be best practice. creating a budget in google cloud to limit potencial cost if something is running outside the free tier because of wrong configuration. auto updates on the VMs Linux with a cron job. i know this is possible but i am not into linux. just my thought . f you want me to test something on my VM, just let me know :-) |

Only needed ports are opened in the current installation. |

Having trouble with No-IP setup. I have an existing noip.com account. One user on Facebook (CGM in the Cloud) mentioned "you have to create a new hostname, and add the free SSL cert to the host, then wait for No-IP to verify the cert (can take an hour), and ONLY then do the No-IP configuration in the NS installer on Google Cloud". I can't figure out how to add the free SSL cert to a hostname. I also don't understand how the NS installer knows what my hostname is called (or what I should call the hostname). |

The next release will bring in Freedns. If you use FreeDNS, you will not need noip.com. It should come out soon. |

You should not interrupt the installation unless it hangs. Only if you see a frozen window that stays like that for 20 minutes, that's when you have a frozen session. |

I wanted to thank you very much for your documentation and scripts and menu. I have successfully built and connected to a Loop system. I wondered if is it possible to set up a template that could be used by the community to initiate the compute engine instead of starting from scratch?

@Navid200 thank you for making this so straightforward; @marionbarker for testing with Loop, too. You mentioned you managed to use it as a CGM for Loop; I'm trying to do the same and although the site is ok, data in, using FreeDNS, traffic directed via https - I keep getting a "badStatusCode" in Loop FreeAPS:

@adipanait The Google site is configured with @Navid200. I also was not able to get Safari to display with the token with Please let me know if I'm missing something here. This does seem like an issue unless I just added the token incorrectly. When I tested with Loop-dev using NS CGM as a source for glucose, it worked fine with no changes to Details of what did not work with I attempted to follow the directions NS documentation for using a token (where school is, of course, an example):

Good news for @adipanait and for @Navid200. The FreeDNS option (instead of the noip option) for a domain works as expected. Edited to add not so good for @adipanait. I did not actually get it working with FreeAPS. First test we realized AUTH roles were readible. Set it back to denied and got a different set of menus. I have now tested it with my own test site (added FreeDNS) and it cannot be read with FreeAPS. Sorry for the false hope. If you look at FreeAPS freeaps_dev branch, there are more built in CGM options (xdrip4ios and glucose direct), so you might not need to use NS as a CGM. And it supports DASH. But I still would suggest Loop-dev. That's what I use. (end of first edit) Details: I have a friend who's also testing the Google NS options. He had just finished deleting all of his instances, but made a new one just for me to test (AUTH_DEFAULT_ROLES = “denied”) using FreeDNS.
Edited to add - the need to add the token again probably indicates it's just clipping at the first / and not reading the token at all in FreeAPS. |

@marionbarker - it does work fine for me in the past 24 hours, using the "workaround" mentioned yesterday - set role to "admin" - let a few readings flow in FreeAPS - change it back to "readable" - works fine. So, FreeAPS reads data from Google Cloud NS, and writes back to NS (treatments, carbs, etc). I'll test the token + role= denied approach today, too. |

hi all, how can you update your upper and lower blood sugar limits in the new release of Nightscout on Google Cloud? i cannot locate where i can change the upper and lower limit on my graphs? |

Look at your variables on Heroku, or wherever you ran Nightscout before. |

sorry to be annoying Navid, but there is nothing in that link that tells me the code i need to input to change my high and low levels. it talks about alarms, but i dont want if for alarms, i want to change my graph so the high limit is moved from 10 mmol to 8 mmol and my low is changed too? |

You can look here to see a descriptions of all variables: https://github.com/nightscout/cgm-remote-monitor/blob/master/README.md#environment If you have a working Nightscout that operates the way you like, for example on Heroku, you can look at your variables on Heroku and try to figure out which one does what you need. You can ask in a forum that is about Nightscout. This isn't. It's true that I have asked people to ask any questions they may have here. But, what I meant was questions related to bringing up Nightscout on Google Cloud and how to use our menus and our scripts. We have limited bandwidth here. I hope people respect that and not litterally bring all their questions here. |

@thevascgmdb what you wanna change are: BG_HIGH, BG_LOW, BG_TARGET_TOP, BG_TARGET_BOTTOM. These may be in the Alarms categ - but you can very well set the ALARM_HIGH="off" and still have your BG_HIGH="160" (for example). |

Hello, I have followed the instructions and had no issues until I get to the end of “install nightscout”. After running step 1 and 2 and the screen reboots I am taken back to the menu. Following the instructions I should open a browser and type in my no-ip username… but how do I do this in the VM? I have typed it in the vm bar but it is locked and have checked but no firewall rules in place. Can someone tell me where exactly do I launch the browser from or how to unlock the vm browser? Thanks for your help, Rachael |

@phjund A lot has changed in out setup since this thread was created. To update to 15.0.2, you have two options. One is to use the Nightscout customization option: https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Nightscout/Customize.html The other is to switch to our dev branch, which is currently on 15.0.2. This explains our branches and how to use them. If you run into any trouble, please open a new discussion. |

I read the fine print at Google Cloud. In order to keep the site running, you must upgrade to a full account before the end of the 90 day period. You still maintain all credits and can run for "free", but if you don't do this, your machine goes away at the end of the 90 days. I reviewed the docs again and I did not see the directions to do this included in the instructions. (You are welcome to use my figures posted below.) Here's the link: Go to Cloud dot google and navigate to Console, Dashboard, Billing and scroll down. If you see Free Trial with the Upgrade button (as shown in graphic), you need to hit upgrade and follow the directions.
When you're done, this same screen will look like this:

I wanted to see what happens if I did not upgrade. Now, I know. The virtual machine was stopped. After starting it, Nightscout was still not running. So, I documented this so that if anyone else runs into this problem, they know what to do: I also edited the Google Project page and added to the end that the project should be upgraded right away: |

Hello. I followed this great guide https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Nightscout/GoogleCloud.html. Everything (freedns, google cloud, VM, Nightscout install, Nightscout setting up) works great and my nightscout is now running in the google cloud. many many thanks for that!! My first question: I backed up the MongoDB via point 6-2 and then downloaded it to my PC via the terminal. That worked fine. But I would be interested to know where I actually download this data or where is this data stored. In the google cloud? In the nightscout variable "database_size" i still have to specify the size of the database and i don't know where i can find it? My second question: I have just created a MongoDB but I have not yet entered it in the variables at nightscout and now I see that my nightscout has been running for 2 days without MongoDB and the data seems to be saving all. Do I actually need the MongoDB? |

Hello,
Thanks to your help I installed an instance of Nightscout on Google Cloud.
Yesterday I received a bill of 0.01€ for the month of February 2023. After
checking the details of the bill I see that this amount is connected to
"Network Internet Egress from Americas to China" (I'm living in France).
I would like to know if this is normal (I thought that Google Cloud is
free) ? Do you have the same type of bills ? Should I correct something in
my project to have a really free hosting on Google ?
I know that this is not a big deal but free is free...
Thanks for your help.

I think google cloud will charge for data going out to some places such as China etc. Obviously you would not expect there to be any access to your site from China but I expect that is the source of the issue. Assuming people are still using the default firewall settings then I would expect that it is rogue web requests from people scanning the internet for vulnerabilities which is triggering the small bandwidth charges. One way for the developers to resolve this would be to include the nginx geoip module which we can deny requests from particular countries and regions and we could include in those ones which will cause bandwidth charges. |

We talked about this and found these two references: I looked at those and got the impression that it needs some work. it is not just setting a switch. I also got the impression that the existing tables may become obsolete and hence, there is a need for continuous maintenance of the table. With other things always requiring attention, we have put this on hold. |

There are crawlers online everywhere not just in China. When a crawler reaches one of our Google Cloud machines, it attempts to connect. The server, in response, asks for a user ID and password. Requesting a user ID and password is an outgoing traffic. Google Cloud charges us for outgoing traffic to China (and Australia) even if less than 1GB per month. There is nothing sent from your machine to China other than a request for user ID and password. |

Please don't think that there are no crawlers anywhere else. But, Google
Cloud does not charge you for crawlers in Europe or anywhere else. The only
reason China stands out in this context is that only traffic to China and
Australia is charged even if less than 1GB per month and it seems there are
more crawlers in China than in Australia. If the total charge of crawlers
in Australia or China is less than 0.01 currency unit, it is dropped. So, I
suspect that's why you see no charge for Australia.
There is nothing sent from your machine to China other than a request for
user ID and password.

I followed your customization option this morning but didn't succeed. I

the same error. That is the reason why I didn't open a new thread.
I think I will need to rebuild from scratch because now my nightscout on

This morning I tried at least ten times and each time the ssh connection

If the SSH session disconnects exactly then, that's just bad luck. You
will need to rerun.
After you install an installation, the executables are removed and are
recreated by the installation routine. If it cannot complete, Nightscout
will not run because the programs have not been recreated.
Give it another try.
If you want to recreate, make sure to created a backup using the backup
utility and download it to your computer before deleting the virtual
machine.
Alternatively, you can create a second machine and install in it to make
sure everything is working before deleting the old one. Except, that this
month, you will be charged a little bit for the time you have had two
machines.

Dear Navid,
I tried at least 20 times to customize my NS but every time the ssh
connection broke down and I couldn't find the logs to check if the
compilation was complete.
Thus I reinstalled NS on the same machine following your instructions given
below: it worked and I wish to thank you for your help.
Nevertheless when I check the version it tells me 14.2.6 and not 15.0.2: I
read one of your previous messages and I guess I didn't go to the dev
branch but I don't see where I did something wrong.
I also backed up my DB and I now have a file on my laptop but I don't
really know what to do with it and how to use it.
Regards,
Philippe.

This tells you how to switch branches. https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Nightscout/Branches.html If you switch to the dev branch and update, you will be on 15.02. This tells you how to restore a backup: https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Nightscout/DatabaseRestore.html |

reinstalling.

Hello,
I switched branches and did the two installation phases and now I have
NS15.0.2 running: thanks a lot !
I have 3 additional questions:
- can I stay on the dev branch even though I'm not an "advanced" user ?
When should I go back to the stable branch ?
- I saw how to restore the backup but do you agree that I don't need to do
that since I reinstalled NS on an existing VM ?
- I had noip.com as a DNS server for my initial installation of NS14 on
Google Cloud. Yesterday I switched to FreeDNS and that's where NS15 is
installed. Nevertheless I see that my old site referenced on noip.com is
still receiving my BG readings: how is this possible ?
Best regards,
Philippe.

You can switch to the stable branch after we update the stable branch to include 15.0.2. You can monitor this page to know when: https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Nightscout/GC_ReleaseNotes.html If you create a report for 3 months ago and it shows data for days before when you did the reinstall, it means that your database is intact and you should not need to restore. After a while your noip stops mapping the ip address. At that point, only your FreeDNS hostname will work. |

Thank you for your response.
I did the report for 3 months and it looked OK so I guess I don't need to
restore the DB.
I will monitor the page you mentioned and the noip site and see what
happens.
Thanks again for your help (I think my Google Cloud VM was too old to do
the upgrade smoothly and I'm happy my NS installation is now up to date).
Regards,
Philippe.

It's been updated. You can get a lot done using a menu instead of having to use the shell.
https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Nightscout/GoogleCloud.html
If you already have it set up, you don't need to re-install.
Just follow this to update: https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Nightscout/NS_SyncExecutables
