Bucket Set Up – Google Archive Storage

by Jan Bachelor August 15, 2024
  • Go to the GCP Console and create a new project.
  • Then move to the Storage tab and click on the ‘Create’ button to create a new bucket.
  • Give a bucket unique name and for where to store your data, choose a single ‘Region’ to keep the costs down.
Step 1 – Choose name + region for your GCP bucket
  • For Storage Class, choose ‘Archive’ or ‘Coldline‘ as you prefer.
Step 2- Choose Storage type for your GCP bucket
  • Object protection – Uniform will be sufficient in our case.
Step 3 – Choose Access control for your GCP bucket
  • Data Protection → up to your needs but if we are controlling the backup retention from Proxmox, then we do not need GCP for that. Then click on the ‘Create’ button.
  • The important take aways are that (a) public access is prevented by default (since this bucket will not be used as a website) and (b) that we have some encryption on it and have selected the right tier.
Step 4 – Choose encryption type for your GCP bucket

Congratulations! You now have a Google Cloud Platform bucket with the desired settings! Let’s head to your Proxmox server node (or another Ubuntu-based host) to mount it.
