How can use Forge with GCE ?

I want Forge to work with GCE (Google Compute Engine) because I don't use Amazon or Lionade or DOcean.... It's there a way?

Thanks

You can add a custom server connection using Forge. However Forge is build to set up a server for you on one of the third parties. However GCE is doing the same thing for you.

It should be possible to add a custom server using the "custom VPS" option. You need to make sure that you have a user called root. I'm not sure if GCE will provide you with such a user. If that isn't the case it's currently not possible

The problem with them is that for same computing engine at google I will pay 27$ and from them I will pay 70$ ... It's quite expensive...
