How to Host an Angular App on Google Cloud Storage


Hosting an Angular app on Google Cloud Storage is a straightforward process that allows you to leverage Google's robust infrastructure for your web applications. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to deploy your Angular app on Google Cloud Storage.


Step 1: Build Your Angular App

First, ensure that your Angular app is ready for production. Run the following command to build your app:


Shell


Insert code

ng build --prod

This command will create a dist directory containing your compiled application.


Step 2: Set Up Google Cloud Storage

Next, you'll need to set up a Google Cloud Storage bucket to host your app.


Go to the Google Cloud Console.

Create a new project or select an existing project.

Navigate to the Storage section and create a new bucket.

Choose a globally unique name for your bucket and select a location.

Step 3: Upload Your Angular App

Now, upload the contents of the dist directory to your Google Cloud Storage bucket.


In the Google Cloud Console, go to your bucket.

Click the Upload Files button and select all files in the dist directory.

Step 4: Configure Bucket Permissions

To make your app publicly accessible, you'll need to configure the bucket permissions.


In the Google Cloud Console, go to your bucket.

Click on the Permissions tab.

Click Add Members and add allUsers with the role Storage Object Viewer.

Step 5: Set Up a Load Balancer (Optional)

For better performance and scalability, you can set up a load balancer. This step is optional but recommended for production environments.


Navigate to the Load Balancing section in the Google Cloud Console.

Follow the instructions to create a new load balancer and point it to your storage bucket.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You've successfully hosted your Angular app on Google Cloud Storage. By following these steps, you can ensure that your app is deployed on a reliable and scalable platform.
