Got this error when trying to create an image: $ gcloud compute images create plan9 --source-uri gs://superbadmofo-plan9/plan9-gce.tar.gz ERROR: (gcloud.compute.images.create) Could not fetch resource: - The tar archive is not a valid image. I tried both the 9legacy-gce image and the stock plan9-gce image Tony On 3/7/2019 at 4:20 PM, "Skip Tavakkolian" wrote:Plan 9 does run on AWS and GCP. There are at least two existing images to start from. Richard Miller created an image for AWS and David du Colombier created one for GCP. Check out 9legacy and this list's archive for the how-to's.

Would setting up plan9port on a hosted Linux vm make sense as an alternative? Anyone doing this? Looking for thoughts, pointers or experiences in doing this. If this has already been covered feel free to send a link to a doc or ml archive post. Thanks! Tony
