GoCD is an open-source continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) server that simplifies the build-test-release cycle of software development. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps required to install GoCD on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that you have the following:
GoCD requires Docker to be installed on the host machine. To install Docker, run the following command on the terminal:
$ sudo dnf install docker
Once the installation is complete, start and enable Docker to start automatically on system boot:
$ sudo systemctl start docker
$ sudo systemctl enable docker
GoCD provides a Docker image for its latest version that can be downloaded from the Docker Hub. To download the image, run the following command:
$ sudo docker pull gocd/gocd-server:v21.2.0
This command will download the GoCD image for version 21.2.0. You can replace 21.2.0 with the version you want to install.
Once the image is downloaded, you can create a Docker container for GoCD. The command to create a container is as follows:
$ sudo docker run -d --name gocd-server \
-v /srv/go-server:/godata \
-p 8153:8153 \
-p 8154:8154 \
gocd/gocd-server:v21.2.0
This command creates a Docker container named gocd-server and maps the host's 8153 and 8154 ports to the container's corresponding ports to access the GoCD dashboard and API. It also creates a volume /srv/go-server in the host OS to persist GoCD's configuration, data, and pipelines.
You can now access GoCD dashboard by opening a web browser and entering the URL http://<your-server-ip>:8153 in the address bar.
You will be presented with the GoCD dashboard, where you can create pipelines, configure agents, and manage the build-test-release cycle of your software development.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install GoCD on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS using Docker. By following these steps, you can set up a fully functional CI/CD server in no time.
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!
