GoCD is an open source continuous delivery server that helps automate and streamline the software development process. It allows teams to model and visualize complex workflows and also provides tools for deployment, testing, and monitoring. This guide will help you to install GoCD on Linux Mint latest version.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Before starting the installation process, it is important to update your system to the latest version. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
GoCD requires Java 8 or higher to be installed on your system. To check if Java is already installed on your system, run the following command:
java -version
If the command results in an output showing the version of Java, it is already installed otherwise install it via following command:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
You can verify the installation by running the command again.
The next step is to add the GoCD repository to your system. Run the following commands:
echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/gocd/gocd-deb /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gocd.list
curl https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=gocd | sudo apt-key add -
This will add the GoCD repository to your system and import the necessary keys.
Now that we have added the GoCD repository, we can install GoCD server and agent by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install go-server go-agent
This will install both GoCD server and agent on your system. During the installation process, you will be prompted with a few questions. You can accept the default values for most of the questions.
After the installation is complete, start the GoCD server and agent services by running the following commands:
sudo service go-server start
sudo service go-agent start
You can check the status of both services by running the following command:
sudo service go-server status
sudo service go-agent status
GoCD web interface can be accessed via a web browser by navigating to http://localhost:8153/go/. If you are accessing the server remotely, replace localhost with the IP address of your server.
The first time you access the GoCD web interface, you will be prompted to create an admin user and set the password.
That's it! You have successfully installed GoCD on your Linux Mint latest version. You can now start using GoCD to automate and streamline your software delivery process.
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!
