Concourse is a highly versatile continuous integration and delivery platform that can be used for a range of tasks, from testing to deployment. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to get started with Concourse on Windows 10.
Before we begin, you’ll need to ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
Follow these steps to install Concourse on Windows 10:
Concourse uses Docker containers to run its pipelines, so you’ll need to install Docker on your system if you haven’t already. You can download Docker for Windows from its official website: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop.
Next, you’ll need to download the Concourse binary for Windows. Visit the Concourse website at https://concourse-ci.org/download.html and select the version of Concourse that matches your version of Windows. Then, extract the contents of the downloaded archive to a directory on your system.
Open a terminal emulator, such as Git Bash, and navigate to the directory where you extracted the Concourse binaries. Then, start Concourse with the following command:
./bin/concourse quickstart
This will start a Docker container with Concourse running inside it.
Once Concourse is up and running, you can access its web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to the following URL:
http://localhost:8080
You should now see the Concourse dashboard, which will display any pipelines that you create.
That’s it! You’ve now successfully installed Concourse on Windows 10 and can start using it to manage your continuous integration and delivery workflows. Be sure to explore the Concourse documentation for more information on how to use this powerful platform.
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!
