How to Install BOSH on Clear Linux Latest

BOSH is a tool used for managing deployments of cloud-based distributed systems. It is an open-source tool designed to manage large distributed systems. This tutorial focuses on how to install BOSH on Clear Linux Latest. Follow the steps below to install BOSH.

Prerequisites

Before installing BOSH, make sure you have the following in place:

• A Clear Linux Latest installation
• An active internet connection
• Root access to the Clear Linux system

Steps

1. Open the terminal in Clear Linux by pressing the Ctrl+Alt+T keyboard shortcut.

2. Update the system packages by running the following command in the terminal:

   sudo swupd update
   

3. Install the BOSH CLI by typing the following command in the terminal:

   sudo swupd bundle-add cloud-foundry-client-network
   

4. Install the BOSH deployment tool by running the following command:

   curl -o ~/bosh https://s3.amazonaws.com/bosh-cli-artifacts/bosh-cli-6.3.0-linux-amd64
   

   This will download the BOSH deployment tool to your home directory.

5. Make the BOSH deployment tool executable by running the following command:

   chmod +x ~/bosh
   

6. Move the BOSH deployment tool to the /usr/local/bin/ directory by running the command below:

   sudo mv ~/bosh /usr/local/bin/
   

7. Verify that the BOSH deployment tool is installed correctly by running the following command:

   bosh -v
   

   You should see the version of the BOSH deployment tool installed.

8. Install VirtualBox by running the command below:

   sudo swupd bundle-add virtualization
   

   This will install VirtualBox, which you may use to deploy BOSH.

9. Install the BOSH Lite package by running the following command:

   bosh create-env ~/bosh-deployment/bosh.yml \
     --state ~/bosh-deployment/state.json \
     -o ~/bosh-deployment/virtualbox/cpi.yml \
     -o ~/bosh-deployment/virtualbox/outbound-network.yml \
     -o ~/bosh-deployment/bosh-lite.yml \
     -o ~/bosh-deployment/bosh-lite-runc.yml \
     -o ~/bosh-deployment/uaa.yml \
     -o ~/bosh-deployment/credhub.yml \
     -o ~/bosh-deployment/jumpbox-user.yml \
     --vars-store ~/bosh-deployment/creds.yml \
     -v director_name=my-bosh-director \
     -v internal_ip=192.168.50.6 \
     -v internal_gw=192.168.50.1 \
     -v internal_cidr=192.168.50.0/24 \
     -v dns_recursor=192.168.50.1 \
     --var-file private_key=<(ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/bosh -N '') \
     --var-file public_key=~/bosh.pub
   

   This command will install BOSH Lite, which is a lightweight version of BOSH that runs on a single virtual machine.

You have now installed BOSH on Clear Linux Latest. You can now start using BOSH to manage deployments and maintain distributed systems.

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!
