Google Cloud Nightscout » Stop and start virtual machine
You may need to stop a virtual machine. You cannot meet the free tier requirements if you have more than one virtual machine running. If you stop a virtual machine you are running Nightscout on, its IP address will change when you start it again.
To stop a virtual machine, go to the compute engine.
Choose “Stop” from the 3-dot menu.
If the virtual machine is stopped, you can start it from the same menu.
After you start a virtual machine that had been stopped, its IP address will be different from what it was before it was stopped.
After restarting the virtual machine, you need to be patient for less than a minute for the new IP address to be mapped to your hostname.
So, you may not be able to bring up Nightscout in a browser or follow with your follower right away.
