BOSH Director & Concourse Bootstrap

This project achieves the following:

• Preparation of an AWS environment for BOSH & Concourse
• Deployment of a new BOSH Director using bosh-init
• Deployment of a new Concourse cluster, or standalone server

Terraform is used to setup the base network and security infrastructure, including an ELB for Concourse.

Requirements

• Install terraform

Ensure you have created a terraform/terraform.tfvars file with your variables, or set suitable environment variables. An example tfvars file can be found in terraform/terraform.tfvars.example

Assumptions

You already have:

• A Route53 Zone in AWS.
• An EC2 SSH keypair
• An SSL certificate in AWS for your Concourse ELB

Usage

Set your desired AWS region in terrform/variables.tf. Ensure terraform is in your path, then apply the configuration to prepare the IaaS for BOSH and Concourse:

cd terraform/
terraform apply

Download the bosh_init script with ./bosh_init.sh You are ready to deploy the BOSH Director

bosh-init deploy director.yml

Go and make a cup of tea.

Once the director is deployed, target it and apply your cloud-config for AWS.

bosh target <your EIP address>
bosh update cloud-config aws-cloud.yml

Set the Concourse URL and password in these environment variables:

$CONCOURSE_PASSWORD
$CONCOURSE_URL
$GITHUB_CLIENT_ID
$GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET

Create a concourse manifest for small cluster:

./bin/make_manifest_concourse-cluster.sh

Upload the necessary stemcell & releases, then deploy concourse:

bosh upload stemcell https://bosh.io/d/stemcells/bosh-aws-xen-hvm-ubuntu-trusty-go_agent?v=3232.8
osh upload release https://bosh.io/d/github.com/concourse/concourse?v=1.3.0
bosh upload release https://bosh.io/d/github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/garden-runc-release?v=0.3.0
bosh deployment concourse.yml
bosh deploy

Congratulations, you should now be able to see your new CI server at https://your-concourse-url.
