Hi Arunoda, the project looks very promising. Unfortunately I have run into a problem while trying it out. I already have a vm which was made according to the official fast.ai documentation for this course, and it’s worked just fine. I tried running the fastai create command and got the following
:~$ fastai create
Ensure fastai network
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.networks.list) The project property is set to the empty string, which is invalid.
To set your project, run:
$ gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID
or to unset it, run:
$ gcloud config unset project
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.networks.create) The project property is set to the empty string, which is invalid.

I don´t think I missed any of your steps. Is there a conflict with my current VM?
Thanks for including a video, it made all the difference. Can I suggest a feature? It would be good to have the option to mount a cloud backed drive such as Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or just GoodSync.
Logged in this morning againand checked the PROJECT_ID variable and it had a value. I set it to a new name (the project name not ID) which failed. I then reset it to it’s original value and the script now runs just fine. I now have a gleaming new VM waiting to be started. No idea what could hav egon wrong last time and why the PROJECT_ID was unavailable.
Thanks for the great work @arunoda!
@arunoda, I’m currently checking out your fastai shell. However, whichever region I select, I always get:
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.instances.create) Could not fetch resource:
- The zone 'projects/fastai-222019/zones/us-west1-b' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zon
e, or try again later.
Now, is this just bad luck and there are no preemptive instances available, or is this something with my account? I had two previous projects which I just deleted if this matters in any way…
I’d prefer a Europe instance (but I see they are not listed in the script), but US would be fine, too…
Will do. But does this look funny to you? Apart from he error itself?
