Concourse binaries deployment with Ansible, Nginx & Upstart

Concourse on Ubuntu 1404 with Vagrant + Ansible

Installs Concourse CI from binaries, Nginx, Postgresql using docker and configures upstart jobs. Ubuntu 1404 uses Vivid's kernel to reach the minimum 3.19 version required by Concourse.

Prerequisites

1. Ansible 1.9 or higher is required
2. Vagrant (and Virtualbox, or an AWS account and vagrant-aws plugin installed)

Configuration

1. Rename vars/credential.sample.yml into credential.yml and update vars with your passwords
2. Create files folder and put your private keys there, as described here
3. Install ansible-galaxy dependencies (docker install & firewall install) ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.txt -f

Virtualbox

vagrant up --provider=virtualbox

Concourse should be available on http://192.168.66.66

AWS

In AWS, create/note the keypair to be used on the machine, and if you haven't already created a security group with inbound port 80 allow from wherever you need, do that too and note the sg-xxxxxx id for later. If you're deploying into a VPC, note down the subnet id to be deployed into.

Using an elastic IP is recommended (allocate one in AWS and note its address). Create a Route53 record for Concourse to use with that elastic IP. Update the nginx_server_name value in vars/credentials.yml with this DNS address before you deploy.

Ensure the required environment variables listed below are set (and override any optional ones) :

Environment Variable	Default
CC_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID	None (required)
CC_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY	None (required)
CC_AWS_KEYPAIR	concourse
CC_AWS_AMI	ami-6177f712 (Ubuntu 1404 in eu-west-1)
CC_AWS_INSTANCE_TYPE	t2.small
CC_AWS_SUBNET_ID	None (set if you're using in a VPC)
CC_AWS_EIP	None (required)
CC_AWS_SEC_GRP	None (required)
CC_AWS_REGION	eu-west-1
CC_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH	None (required)

vagrant plugin install vagrant-aws
vagrant up --provider=aws

After the machine has been created, and Ansible has finished deploying you're all set.
