Concourse is an open-source tool that helps teams automate their development and deployment pipelines. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Concourse on Linux Mint step-by-step.
Before we start, ensure that you have the following requirements:
The very first step is to install Docker on your Linux Mint machine. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker.io -y
Once installed, you can verify the Docker installation by running the following command:
sudo docker --version
It should give you an output similar to:
Docker version 20.10.7, build f0df350
To install Concourse on your Linux Mint machine, follow these steps:
Create two directories /opt/concourse and /opt/concourse/data using the following commands:
sudo mkdir -p /opt/concourse/data
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /opt/concourse
Create a new file docker-compose.yml using the following command:
nano docker-compose.yml
Copy and paste the following content into the file:
version: '3'
services:
web:
image: concourse/concourse
command: quick-start
ports:
- "8080:8080"
volumes:
- /opt/concourse/data:/concourse/data
environment:
CONCOURSE_BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME: concourse
CONCOURSE_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD: changemeplease
Save and exit the file.
Start Concourse using Docker Compose by running:
sudo docker-compose up -d
You can now access Concourse using your web browser at http://localhost:8080.
You will be prompted to enter the username and password, enter the default username concourse and password changemeplease.
That's it! You have successfully installed Concourse on your Linux Mint machine. You can now start using it to automate your development and deployment pipelines.
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!
