How to Install CDS on Void Linux

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing the Continuous Delivery Service (CDS) on Void Linux. CDS is an open-source platform used for continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have access to a Void Linux machine and that you are logged in as a user with sudo privileges.

Step 1: Install dependencies

The first step in installing CDS on Void Linux is to install the necessary dependencies. These dependencies include:

To install these dependencies, open a terminal and run the following commands:

sudo xbps-install -S git
sudo xbps-install -S docker
sudo xbps-install -S go

Step 2: Install CDS binary

Once the dependencies have been installed, you can download the CDS binary from the official website. Open a terminal and run the following commands:

wget https://github.com/ovh/cds/releases/download/v.X.X.X/cds-engine-linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -xvf cds-engine-linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv cds-engine /usr/local/bin/

Replace "v.X.X.X" with the latest version of CDS available.

Step 3: Install CDS UI

To install the CDS user interface (UI), run the following commands:

wget https://github.com/ovh/cds/releases/download/v.X.X.X/cds-ui.tar.gz
tar -xvf cds-ui.tar.gz
sudo mv cds-ui /usr/local/www/

Replace "v.X.X.X" with the latest version of CDS available.

Step 4: Configure Docker

CDS requires Docker to be configured with a remote API socket. Open the Docker configuration file by running the following command:

sudo vi /etc/docker/daemon.json

Add the following lines to the file:

{
  "hosts": ["unix:///var/run/docker.sock", "tcp://127.0.0.1:2375"]
}

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Start CDS

To start CDS, run the following command:

sudo cds-engine start

Once CDS is running, you can access the UI by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8081.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed the Continuous Delivery Service (CDS) on Void Linux! You can now use CDS to create CI/CD pipelines for your projects.

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!
