§ Setting up mosh on google cloud

• Step 0: Read the gist titled A beginner's guide to setup Mosh roaming terminal on Mac to access Google Cloud Compute Engine instance
• Step 1: Setup a firewall rule on gcloud that enables all traffic from mosh (UDP 60,000 - 61,000).
• Step 2: Get the gcloud command from the UI by clicking
• Step 3: run the gcloud command with --dry-run to see what SSH command is run:

$ gcloud compute ssh --zone "europe-west1-b" "instance-20241102-191016" --project "even-card-249812" --dry-run

/usr/bin/ssh -t -i /Users/bollu/.ssh/google_compute_engine -o CheckHostIP=no
  -o HashKnownHosts=no
  -o HostKeyAlias=compute.1227009788065073056
  -o IdentitiesOnly=yes
  -o StrictHostKeyChecking=yes
  -o UserKnownHostsFile=/Users/bollu/.ssh/google_compute_known_hosts bollu@34.79.28.126

• Step 4: Convert the SSH command into a mosh command:

mosh --ssh="/usr/bin/ssh -i /Users/bollu/.ssh/google_compute_engine" bollu@34.79.28.126
