How to Install CapsuleCD on POP! OS Latest

CapsuleCD is an open-source solution that manages environment and dependencies for DevOps automation tools. It creates a reliable, reproducible and safe environment for building, testing and deploying applications. This tutorial will guide you on how to install CapsuleCD on your POP! OS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation, you should ensure that:

• You have a running instance of POP! OS Latest.
• You have administrative privileges to install packages.

Step 1: Install Docker

CapsuleCD runs on Docker containers, so you need to install Docker on your POP! OS machine. You can follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal on your POP! OS machine by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T.

2. Update your package list:

   sudo apt-get update
   

3. Install Docker using the official Docker installation script:

   curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
   sudo sh get-docker.sh
   

4. Verify that Docker is installed and running:

   sudo systemctl status docker
   

   You should see an output similar to the following:

   ● docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine
        Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
        Active: active (running) since Mon 2021-07-12 16:08:30 GMT; 2 days ago
          Docs: https://docs.docker.com
     Main PID: 2167 (dockerd)
        Tasks: 10
       Memory: 44.3M
          CPU: 1.067s
       CGroup: /system.slice/docker.service
               └─2167 /usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// --containerd=/run/containerd/containerd.sock
   

Step 2: Install CapsuleCD

Once Docker is installed, you can install CapsuleCD by following these steps:

1. Download the CapsuleCD repository from GitHub:

   git clone https://github.com/analogj/capsulecd
   

2. Change to the CapsuleCD directory:

   cd capsulecd
   

3. Build the CapsuleCD image:

   docker build -t capsulecd .
   

4. Test the CapsuleCD image by running the following command:

   docker run --rm capsulecd --help
   

   You should see an output that displays the help information for CapsuleCD.

Step 3: Use CapsuleCD

You can use CapsuleCD in your DevOps automation tools by mounting your project directory as a volume to the CapsuleCD container. For example, if you want to build a Go application with CapsuleCD, you can run the following command:

docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app capsulecd go build -o myapp

This command mounts the current directory as a volume to the CapsuleCD container, and then runs the go build command to build the Go application. The -o myapp option specifies the output file name as myapp.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you have installed CapsuleCD on your POP! OS Latest machine. You can now use CapsuleCD to manage environments and dependencies for your DevOps automation tools with ease.
