Protractor with selenium grid

Question

Could anyone please advice how to setup protractor to run tests remotely ?

My protractor.conf.js:

exports.config = {
    chromeOnly: true,
    chromeDriver: '../node_modules/.bin/chromedriver',
    framework: 'jasmine2',
    capabilities: {
        'browserName': 'chrome',
        shardTestFiles: true,
        maxInstances: 3
    },
    specs: ['../e2e/protractor/spec/*.js'],
    jasmineNodeOpts: {
        showColors: true,
        defaultTimeoutInterval: 30000
    },
    jasmineNodeOpts: {
        isVerbose: true
    },
    onPrepare: function () {
        global.dv = browser.driver;
        browser.ignoreSynchronization = true;
    },
    seleniumServerJar: '../node_modules/selenium-server/lib/runner/selenium-server-standalone-2.47.1.jar',
    baseUrl: 'www.google.com'
};

My protractor.json:

{
  "options": {
    "configFile": "./config/protractor.conf.js",
    "noColor": false,
    "args": {},
    "webdriverManagerUpdate": true
  },
  "e2e": {
    "options": {
      "keepAlive": false
    }
  },
  "continuous": {
    "options": {
      "keepAlive": true
    }
  }
}

For now I am running tests locally from ./config location by command protractor protractor.conf.js . I have already selenium grid configured with vm's and hosts. Have as well IP address which I'll be using to connect with host.

You just need to setup seleniumAddress: 'http://<IP>:4444/wd/hub', inside either protractor.conf.js, or your grunt/gulp runner.

All settings is here: https://github.com/angular/protractor/blob/master/lib/config.ts#L89
