What's the deal with getting SSL on your custom domain name now? I moved away from app engine for small projects previously as I think they wanted $60 a month for this.
I did look on the website but I couldn't find the information. I have to say on a mobile device the GCP pages are very poor IMO. Too big a font, too much spacing, intrusive sticky header and too many scrolling effects where content magically appears or disappears. And even worse - when I click the pricing calculator it doesn't fit on the iOS safari screen so it is unusable. It does feel that some CSS and JS wizard got given far too much free reign.
- micklinghoff 10y agoI set up SSL for my custom domain on App Engine with Let's Encrypt yesterday - once you know how to do it, it takes only 5 minutes, I followed this tutorial: https://realguess.net/2016/09/26/installing-let-s-encrypt-ssl-certificate-on-google-app-engine-using-certbot/ https://realguess.net/2016/09/26/installing-let-s-encrypt-ss...
- dudus 10y agoI don't remember the $60. I remember that at some point custom domains with SSL where tied to GSuite in some form. But it hasn't been the case in a long time. You can get your certificates anywhere you want and just upload them through the UI. I get mine from LetsEncrypt using a process somewhat automated similar to [1]. It is still a pain in the ass semi-manual job I have to do every few months but I get SSL for free. I hope they launch some better integration with LetsEncrypt in the future.
