How to install Concourse on Clear Linux Latest

Concourse is an open-source CI/CD pipeline tool that automates the building, testing, and deployment of software. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install Concourse on Clear Linux latest.

Prerequisites

Before you can proceed with the installation, you need to:

• Have a Clear Linux latest installation up and running.
• Be logged in as a user with sudo privileges.
• Have internet connectivity.

Step 1: Install Docker

Concourse requires Docker to run containers. Install Docker on your system using the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add containers-basic

Step 2: Install Concourse

Clear Linux latest has a bundle for Concourse, which you can install with the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add concourse

Step 3: Create a configuration file

To start Concourse and configure it, you need to create a configuration file. Create a file named concourse.yml in the /etc directory and add the following configuration:

---
concourse:
  main-team:
    auth:
      generic-oauth:
        client-id: <your-client-id>
        client-secret: <your-client-secret>
        auth-url: <your-auth-url>
        token-url: <your-token-url>
        user-claim: sub
        scope: <your-scope>
        display-name-key: <your-display-name-key>
    postgresql:
      host: localhost
      database: concourse
      user: concourse
      password: <your-db-password>
      sslmode: disable
    external_url: <your-external-url>

Replace the elements inside the brackets with your own values. The main-team element is used to configure the authentication and authorization for Concourse.

Step 4: Start Concourse

Now that you have Docker installed, the Concourse bundle installed, and a configuration file in place, you can run the Concourse web server. Use the following command to start the server:

sudo systemctl start concourse-web

You can check the status of the service to ensure it is running using the following command:

sudo systemctl status concourse-web

You should see a message indicating that the service is active and running.

In this tutorial, you learned how to install Concourse on Clear Linux latest. With Concourse installed, you can set up your CI/CD pipelines and automate your software delivery process.
