Installing GoCD server on Linux

Installation of the GoCD server using the package manager will require root access on the machine. You are also required to have a java version 7 for the server to run.

The installer will create a user called go if one does not exist on the machine. The home directory will be set to /var/go. If you want to create your own go user, make sure you do it before you install the GoCD server.

RPM based distributions (ie RedHat/CentOS/Fedora)

The GoCD server RPM installer has been tested on RedHat Enterprise Linux and CentOS. It should work on most RPM based Linux distributions.

!INCLUDE "../_yum_repo.md"

Once you have the repository setup, execute

sudo yum install -y go-server

Alternatively, if you have the server RPM downloaded:

sudo yum install -y java-1.7.0-openjdk #optional, you may use other jre/jdk if you prefer
sudo rpm -i go-server-${version}.noarch.rpm

Debian based distributions (ie Ubuntu)

The GoCD server .deb installer has been tested on Ubuntu. However it should work on most Linux distributions which use debs.

!INCLUDE "../_apt_repo.md"

Once you have the repository setup, execute

sudo apt-get install go-server

Alternatively, if you have the server DEB downloaded:

sudo dpkg -i go-server-${version}.deb

Managing the go-server service on linux

To manage the go-server service, you may use the following commands -

sudo /etc/init.d/go-server [start|stop|status|restart]

Once the installation is complete the GoCD server will be started and it will print out the URL for the Dashboard page. This will be http://localhost:8153/go

Location of GoCD server files

The GoCD server installs its files in the following locations on your filesystem:

/var/lib/go-server       #contains the binaries and database
/etc/go                  #contains the pipeline configuration files
/var/log/go-server       #contains the server logs
/usr/share/go-server     #contains the start script
/etc/default/go-server   #contains all the environment variables with default values. These variable values can be changed as per requirement.
