Self-hosting on Google Cloud Platform

To self-host Membrane on Google Cloud Platform, you need to set up Google Cloud Storage. Everything else is the same as in the main guide.

Setting up Google Cloud Storage

This guide uses terraform to manage the infrastructure. Create a service account:

# Create a Google Service Account for the API service
resource "google_service_account" "api_service" {
  account_id   = "${var.project}-${var.environment}-api"
  display_name = "API Service Account for ${var.environment}"
  project      = var.gcp_project_id
}

# Grant necessary permissions to the service account
resource "google_project_iam_member" "api_storage_admin" {
  project = var.gcp_project_id
  role    = "roles/storage.admin"
  member  = "serviceAccount:${google_service_account.api_service.email}"
}

# Grant token creator permission for storage signed URLs
resource "google_project_iam_member" "api_token_creator" {
  project = var.gcp_project_id
  role    = "roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator"
  member  = "serviceAccount:${google_service_account.api_service.email}"
}

# Allow the Kubernetes service account to impersonate the Google service account
resource "google_service_account_iam_binding" "api_workload_identity" {
  service_account_id = google_service_account.api_service.name
  role               = "roles/iam.workloadIdentityUser"

  members = [
    "serviceAccount:${var.gcp_project_id}.svc.id.goog[${var.kubernetes_namespace}/integration-app]"
  ]
}

Create your buckets

# Temporary files bucket
resource "google_storage_bucket" "tmp" {
  name     = "${var.project}-${var.environment}-tmp"
  location = var.gcp_region
  project  = var.gcp_project_id

  # Force destroy even if bucket contains objects
  force_destroy = true

  # Uniform bucket-level access
  uniform_bucket_level_access = true

  # Lifecycle rule to delete objects after 7 days
  lifecycle_rule {
    condition {
      age = 7
    }
    action {
      type = "Delete"
    }
  }

  # Versioning
  versioning {
    enabled = false
  }

  # Labels
  labels = local.common_labels
}

# Connectors bucket
resource "google_storage_bucket" "connectors" {
  name     = "${var.project}-${var.environment}-connectors"
  location = var.gcp_region
  project  = var.gcp_project_id

  # Prevent accidental deletion
  force_destroy = false

  # Uniform bucket-level access
  uniform_bucket_level_access = true

  # Versioning for code safety
  versioning {
    enabled = true
  }

  # Lifecycle rule to delete old versions after 30 days
  lifecycle_rule {
    condition {
      num_newer_versions = 3
      with_state         = "ARCHIVED"
    }
    action {
      type = "Delete"
    }
  }

  # Labels
  labels = local.common_labels
}

# Static content bucket
resource "google_storage_bucket" "static" {
  name     = "${var.project}-${var.environment}-static"
  location = var.gcp_region
  project  = var.gcp_project_id

  # Force destroy for development environments
  force_destroy = var.environment != "prod"

  # Uniform bucket-level access
  uniform_bucket_level_access = true

  # Website configuration
  website {
    main_page_suffix = "index.html"
    not_found_page   = "404.html"
  }

  # CORS configuration
  cors {
    origin          = ["*"]
    method          = ["GET", "HEAD", "OPTIONS"]
