Cloud Foundry is an open-source cloud platform, which enables developers to build, deploy and scale applications easily. In this tutorial, we will explain step by step how to install Cloud Foundry on Clear Linux Latest.
Before installing Cloud Foundry, we need to update our Clear Linux system.
sudo swupd update
We need to install some packages before we can install Cloud Foundry.
sudo swupd bundle-add container-host-basic
sudo swupd bundle-add container-host-docker
sudo swupd bundle-add container-host-oci
After installing the required packages, we need to install Docker.
sudo systemctl enable docker
sudo systemctl start docker
To verify that Docker is running, run the following command:
docker version
We need to install the Cloud Foundry CLI (Command Line Interface) to interact with Cloud Foundry.
sudo curl -L "https://cli.run.pivotal.io/stable?release=linux64-binary&source=github" | tar -zx
sudo mv cf /usr/local/bin
To verify that the CLI is installed properly, run the following command:
cf --version
BOSH is a tool that helps deploy and manage distributed systems. We need to install the BOSH CLI to deploy Cloud Foundry.
sudo curl -LO "https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh-cli/releases/download/v6.1.1/bosh-cli-6.1.1-linux-amd64"
sudo chmod +x ./bosh-cli-6.1.1-linux-amd64
sudo mv ./bosh-cli-6.1.1-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/bosh
To verify that the BOSH CLI is installed properly, run the following command:
bosh --version
Finally, we will use BOSH to deploy Cloud Foundry.
curl -OL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloudfoundry/cf-deployment/master/cf-deployment.yml
bosh create-env cf-deployment.yml --vars-store my-vars-store.yml
After Cloud Foundry is installed, we can log in and start deploying our applications.
cf login -a https://api.YOUR-CF-DOMAIN --skip-ssl-validation
Replace YOUR-CF-DOMAIN with your own domain name.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Cloud Foundry on Clear Linux Latest.
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!
