How to Install CDS on Ubuntu Server Latest

CDS is an open-source platform designed for Continuous Delivery / Continuous Integration. In this guide, we will walk through the steps to install CDS on Ubuntu Server Latest.

Requirements

  • Ubuntu Server Latest instance
  • Root access or a user with sudo permissions
  • Internet connection

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before installing CDS, make sure that your system has all the necessary dependencies installed. 

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y curl gnupg2 postgresql-client postgresql-client-common

Step 2: Add the CDS repository

Next, we will add the CDS repository and its GPG key to our system. 

curl https://apt.cds.ow2.org/public.key | sudo apt-key add -

echo "deb http://apt.cds.ow2.org $(lsb_release -cs) universe" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cds.list

sudo apt-get update

Step 3: Install CDS

Now that we have added the CDS repository, we can proceed with the installation of CDS. 

sudo apt-get install -y cds-server cds-ui cdsctl

During the installation process, you will be prompted to configure the PostgreSQL database.

  • Select Yes to create a new PostgreSQL cluster with the default settings.
  • Choose a password for the postgres user when prompted.

Once the installation is complete, start the CDS server using the following command: 

sudo systemctl start cds

Step 4: Configure CDS

By default, the CDS server will run on port 8080. To access the CDS server from a web browser, you will need to open port 8080 on your firewall. 

sudo ufw allow 8080/tcp

You can now access the CDS UI by navigating to http://<server_ip>:8080.
