- acidus 9y agoI use Concourse every day and I don't know yet what BOSH is and I hope I'll never have to. The installation was pretty standard. I followed a tutorial written by Justin Ellingwood, a great technical writer working for DigitalOcean - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-concourse-ci-on-ubuntu-16-04 https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-inst....
- EngineerBetter 9y agoWe made Concourse-Up so you don't need to learn BOSH. https://github.com/EngineerBetter/concourse-up https://github.com/EngineerBetter/concourse-up It'll give you a working, upgradable, auto-healing Concourse in one command.

- SHyx0rmZ 9y agoShameless plug: I've been maintaining three Concourse clusters and have created https://github.com/SHyx0rmZ/concourse-debian https://github.com/SHyx0rmZ/concourse-debian to package the binary for Debian, so I can get away with just upgrading to a new package whenever a new version releases. It's far from perfect yet, but I'm happy to receive some feedback and planning to move my package repository and pipeline to the public soonish.
