Install Xfce desktop and Chrome Remote Desktop on Google Cloud Shell
But installing Docker container is bloat and the container home storage isn't persistent by default. Also why not just use Debian (the default Cloud Shell operating system)?
- Open https://shell.cloud.google.com from Web browser (or open a terminal and type
gcloud cloud-shell ssh) - Clone this repository
- Copy
install-gui.shandinstall-catppuccin.shto home directory - type
chmod +x install-gui.shandchmod +x install-catppuccin.sh - execute
install-gui.sh - Then go to https://remotedesktop.google.com/headless and follow the steps
- Go to Remote Access and choose cs-<cloud_shell_id>-default
- Type remote desktop password
- Now choose Xfce session
- Enjoy ;)
