BOSH is a toolchain for provisioning, deploying, and managing large distributed systems. In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps to install BOSH on Debian Latest.
Before we start installing BOSH, you need to ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
First, update your system to the latest packages using the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
You need to install some required packages before installing BOSH on your system using the following command:
sudo apt-get install build-essential ruby ruby-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 openssl libssl-dev
We'll install BOSH using the version manager tool called rbenv. Follow the below steps to install BOSH.
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
rbenv install 2.4.4 # Latest stable version
rbenv local 2.4.4
rbenv global 2.4.4
gem install bosh_cli --no-ri --no-rdoc
After installing BOSH, you can verify it by running the following command:
bosh --version
If you have installed BOSH successfully, you should see the version number.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install BOSH on Debian Latest using the rbenv version manager. You can now use BOSH for provisioning, deploying, and managing 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!
