How to setup network / url access to instance correctly?

[moorage]

It would be great to have documentation in the README. that refers to how networking should be setup to the instance.

When executing /run.sh, the output ends in something like this:

Navigate to this URL:

    http://5e1e573deXYZ:40001/vnc.html?host=5e1e573deXYZ&port=40001

On google cloud, does one just open port 40001 and access the external IP address, like actually navigating to http://216.3.128.12:40001/vnc.html?host=216.3.128.12&port=40001 (just an example)?

Or is url mapping needed?

I successfully created the firewall rule this way:

• Name: novnc-40001
• Network: default
• Priority: 976
• Direction: Ingress
• Action on match: Allow
• Targets \ Target tags: novnc-40001
• Source filters \ IP ranges: 0.0.0.0/0
• Protocols and ports: tcp:40001

And then I added it as a network tag on the instance:

• Network tags: novnc-40001

Then I accessed it using the external IP address of the instance, like this for example:

http://216.3.128.12:40001/vnc.html?host=216.3.128.12&port=40001
