2. Triggers -> "Connect Repository"

Terraform setup

1. npmR docker:build
2. npmR docker:push
3. Webmaster Central verify domain ownership with TXT record -> "Add an owner" -> Add project service account

Then

• run cd ./ops/terraform && ./tf.sh apply cloud-run
• go to the created DNS zone and view zone details, click "Registrar Setup" in top-right corner
• Set the domain's nameserver to use Google's servers by copying over the shown addresses

Domain name

The name server of the domain in question must point to the same name servers as those in the created Google DNS zone.

TODO:

• Find some way for the created DNS zone to not change name servers between creations
• Terraform setup for this, so that new projects can be automatically set up
• Monitoring (e.g. through cAdvisor or Datadog?)
• Cache CI build step
