While there is already a package that helps running Julia on Amazon EC2, Google Cloud does not seem to be widely used by the community. I did notice however that a fairly impressive JuliaBox <https://github.com/JuliaLang/JuliaBox> system has some docker components in it along with the nginx server etc. I'm yet to get familiar with docker but it my assumption is that the docker-component should not be restricted to AWS and could be used on GCloud as well.
Has anyone tried using docker-component of JuliaBox with GCloud? Is this component coded for a specific Linux flavor? I am interested in having just a Julia runtime environment on GCloud Compute without the part of JuliaBox that allows to connect from a browser, edit code in it etc. Any pointers would be helpful for (hopefully not too complex) setup of Julia docker container on GCloud virtual machines.
