Ah wait I know where's the confusion from. There are two types of SSD they offer. Local SSD, which will not let you restart server, only shutdown & delete and create new with it. Those are more like cache disks, or temporary disks. And then persistent disks can be either HDD or SSD. And local SSD cannot be used as boot disk, and every compute instance comes with persistent drive. Can you confirm that you have persistent SSD drive, and no local SSD?
In the meantime setup gcloud on the mini server :)
yes yes xD haha
i have pers ssd for all of my instances
but yeah, the contractor has a linux server setup with crontab on there to start my main server on a schedule for $5-6/month
but is running app engine another way and less expensive?
