GoCD is a popular continuous delivery tool that helps in managing complex and advanced software delivery pipelines. It supports multiple languages and platforms including Java, .NET, Ruby, Node.js, and many more. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install GoCD on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before we proceed to the installation of GoCD, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to update the Alpine Linux system. This ensures that all the installed packages are up-to-date, and dependencies are resolved.
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
GoCD requires Java to run. So, let's install Java on Alpine Linux Latest using the following command:
sudo apk add openjdk8
Once the installation is completed, verify the Java version by running:
java -version
GoCD can be installed on Alpine Linux through the official package repository, which can be added using the following command:
echo "http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories
After adding the repository, install the GoCD package by running the following command:
sudo apk add go-server
This installs GoCD server on your Alpine Linux system.
To start the GoCD server, run the following command:
sudo rc-service go-server start
This will start GoCD server on your system.
Once the server is started, you can access the GoCD dashboard by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8153. If you are accessing GoCD dashboard from a remote machine or server, replace the localhost with the IP address of the GoCD server.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install GoCD on Alpine Linux Latest. Once you have installed GoCD, you can start creating pipelines and automating your software delivery process.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
