How-to setup a simple git push deployment

These are my notes basically. At first i created this gist just as a reminder for myself. But feel free to use this for your project as a starting point. If you have questions you can find me on twitter @thomasf https://twitter.com/thomasf This is how i used it on a Debian Wheezy testing (https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/)

I was able to install FreeBSD on GCE in a very direct way, without the hurdles of Qemu, gcutil, and the FreeBSD installer. All are great tools, but I think my apporach is somewhat more suitable for GCE, or at least much simpler. Much of this is well-known practice for installing manually, with some fluff for managing it as a disk image, as well as the few odd networking requirements of GCE (MTU and netmask).

My basic approach is to:

Use my FreeBSD machine at home to build a self-hosting "rescue" disk image for GCE.
Start a temporary Linux machine in GCE from a provided image.
Copy my image from home to a raw block device.
Start a FreeBSD machine in GCE using that block device as the root.
