Summary: This is a short how-to in German on using Google Compute Engine to host a Windows machine for Cloud Gaming with Parsec. I wrote it in April 2021, so it might be outdated and broken by now.

Hallo zusammen! Da ich sehr erfreut darüber bin, möchte ich dieses howto teilen, wie ich in einer Google-Cloud-Maschine zocken kann.

GCP account erstellen: console.cloud.google.com
Quota increase request für Compute Engine GPU (All Regions) auf 1 machen. nur 1! alles andere wird abgelehnt! Der Request sollte innerhalb von 5min per mail approved werden.

Notes for OSX on ARM M1 Macs

Here are some notes I am keeping on how I set up a development environment on my M1 mac.

Note: All of these should not be necessary anymore!

Rosetta

softwareupdate --install-rosetta

Some config helpers for git

~/.gitconfig:

[alias]

# my lazyness
	git = !git # git git git checkout
	ad = add
	ada = add

Based on https://controlc.de/2013/09/10/debian-selbstgehosteter-dyndns-dienst/ and https://github.com/Josef-Friedrich/dyndns

For debian 10

apt install -y bind9 bind9-host bind9utils dnsutils unattended-upgrades vim

echo unattended-upgrades unattended-upgrades/enable_auto_updates boolean true | debconf-set-selections
dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive unattended-upgrades

Setting up an OpenVPN Raspberry Pi for client devices

Install nbnsd

So you can find your host via NetBIOS later on:

Mac OS X: smbutil lookup my-pi
Windows: ping my-pi
Linux:
- apt-get install libnss-windbind, also https://serverfault.com/questions/352305/why-can-windows-machines-resolve-local-names-when-linux-cant
- ping my-pi
