Concourse is an open-source continuous delivery and pipeline automation tool for Agile teams. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Concourse on Debian latest.
Before you start the installation process, make sure that you have the following:
Before we can install Concourse, we must first install the required packages for it. We will use the apt package manager to install the following packages:
sudo apt install -y postgresql curl gnupg lsb-release```
After the installation completes, we need to verify that the PostgreSQL service is running by running the following command in the terminal:
```systemctl is-active postgresql```
If the service is not active, start it by running:
```sudo systemctl start postgresql```
## Step 2: Add Concourse to APT Package Sources
Add Concourse to the APT package sources by running the following command:
```echo "deb https://concourse-ci.org/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/concourse-ci.list```
Then, download the concourse CI public key and add it to your system by running:
```curl -sSL https://concourse-ci.org/debian/concourse-ci.org.key | sudo apt-key add -```
Update the package list with the new Concourse package sources by running:
```sudo apt update```
## Step 3: Install Concourse
Now that we have added the Concourse package sources, let's install Concourse by running the following command:
```sudo apt install -y concourse```
After the installation is complete, you can verify that Concourse is installed and running by running:
```concourse --version```
## Step 4: Configure Concourse
Now that we have installed Concourse, we need to configure it. During the installation, Concourse created a PostgreSQL user named "concourse" with a password of "concourse." To create a new user and database for Concourse, follow these steps:
1. Switch to the PostgreSQL user account by running:
```sudo su postgres```
2. Create a new user and database for Concourse by running:
createuser concourse_web --createdb --login --password createdb --owner=concourse_web atc
You will be prompted to enter a password for the new user.
3. Exit the PostgreSQL user account by running:
```exit```
## Step 5: Start Concourse
After we have configured Concourse, we can start it using the following command:
```sudo systemctl start concourse-worker concourse-web```
Verify that Concourse is running properly by visiting the web interface at `http://localhost:8080/`.
## Conclusion
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Concourse on Debian Latest. You can now automate your continuous delivery and pipeline tasks using Concourse.
