How to Install GoCD on NetBSD

GoCD is a popular open-source continuous delivery server, which can help you automate and streamline your application deployment process.

If you're using NetBSD, you might be wondering how to install and set up GoCD on your operating system. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the step-by-step process of installing GoCD on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we start with the installation, you need to make sure that your system meets the following requirements:

Step 1: Install Java

GoCD requires Java to be installed on the system. If you don't have it already installed, you can install it by running the following command:

pkgin install openjdk8

This will install Java 8 on your NetBSD machine.

Step 2: Download GoCD

Next, you need to download the GoCD binary package from the official website. You can download the latest version of GoCD from the following URL:

https://download.gocd.org/binaries/VERSION_NUMBER/generic/goVERSION_NUMBER.tar.gz

Replace VERSION_NUMBER with the appropriate GoCD version you want to install. You can check the latest version of GoCD at the following URL:

https://www.gocd.org/download/

Once you've downloaded the file, extract it using the following command:

tar xvfz goVERSION_NUMBER.tar.gz

This will create a directory named go that contains all the necessary files.

Step 3: Configure GoCD

Before you start GoCD, you need to configure it by editing the configuration files. To do that, navigate to the go directory and open the config/cruise-config.xml file in an editor.

cd go
nano config/cruise-config.xml

In this file, you can configure your pipelines, agents, and other settings. Follow the official GoCD documentation to learn more about configuring GoCD.

Step 4: Start GoCD

To start GoCD, navigate to the bin directory and run the gocd-server script:

cd bin
./gocd-server

This will start the GoCD server. You can access the GoCD web interface at http://localhost:8153/go/.

Conclusion

That's it! You've successfully installed GoCD on NetBSD. You can now use GoCD to automate your continuous delivery process and streamline your application deployment.
