Woodpecker is a popular Continuous Integration (CI) tool that can be used to automatically test and deploy code changes. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Woodpecker on Kali Linux.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Woodpecker requires Docker to be installed on your system. If you already have Docker installed, you can skip this step.
To install Docker, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get install docker.io -y
Once the installation is complete, start the Docker service by running:
sudo systemctl start docker
Next, we need to download the Woodpecker Docker image. To do this, we will use the docker pull command.
Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo docker pull woodpecker/woodpecker
Once the download is complete, we can start the Woodpecker Docker container. To do this, we will use the docker run command.
Open a terminal and run the following commands:
sudo docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -v /var/lib/woodpecker:/var/lib/woodpecker --name woodpecker woodpecker/woodpecker
This command will start the Woodpecker Docker container in detached mode (-d) and map port 8080 of the container to port 8080 of the host machine (-p 8080:8080). It also creates a volume to store the Woodpecker data (-v /var/lib/woodpecker:/var/lib/woodpecker) and gives the container a name (-name woodpecker).
With Woodpecker now running, you can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080.
That's it! You have successfully installed Woodpecker on Kali Linux. You can now use this powerful tool to automate your software development workflow.
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!
