In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Cloud Foundry on Ubuntu Server Latest. Cloud Foundry is a highly scalable open-source cloud application platform that enables developers to deploy, run, and manage applications in the cloud.
Before proceeding, it's good to update and upgrade your system packages to their latest version. You can do so by running the following commands in your terminal:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Cloud Foundry requires several dependencies in order to function properly. You can install them using the following command:
sudo apt install build-essential zlibc zlib1g-dev ruby ruby-dev openssl libssl-dev libreadline-dev libyaml-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev git
The Cloud Foundry CLI is a command-line interface tool that allows you to interact with your Cloud Foundry instance. You can download and install it using the following command:
sudo curl -L "https://cli.run.pivotal.io/stable?release=linux64-binary&source=github" | tar xzvf -
sudo mv cf /usr/local/bin
Cloud Foundry can be installed using the following command:
sudo gem install cf
This will install the Cloud Foundry client-side library.
BOSH is the deployment tool used for Cloud Foundry installation. You can install BOSH using the following commands:
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
sudo gem install bosh_cli --no-ri --no-rdoc
You can download and install Cloud Foundry by following the below-mentioned steps:
Download the latest version of Cloud Foundry from the official site.
Extract the tar file using the following command:
tar xvf cf-release-*.tgz
Change directory to the src folder using the following command:
cd cf-release-*/src
Run the following command to prepare the release:
sudo ./scripts/update
Create a manifest file. This file defines the deployment configuration for Cloud Foundry. You can download it from the official site.
Run the deploy command:
sudo bosh -n deploy
Wait for the Cloud Foundry deployment to complete.
By following these steps, you can successfully install Cloud Foundry on your Ubuntu server. Once installed, you can deploy your applications to Cloud Foundry and manage them via the Cloud Foundry CLI.
