Install

A Concourse installation is composed of a web node, a worker node, and a PostgreSQL node.

There are many ways to deploy Concourse, depending on your personal preference. The Quick Start guide shows how to get Concourse up and running quickly via Docker Compose, and there is also an official Concourse Helm chart.

The documentation found here will primarily focus on the concourse CLI, which is the lowest common denominator, and can also be directly used if you want to just run Concourse yourself on real hardware or your own managed VMs.

The high-level steps to follow for installing Concourse are:

1. Setup a Postgres database
2. Generate Secrets for the web and worker nodes
3. Install the web node
4. Install the worker node

Note

We don't document every configuration option for the web and worker commands. To view all flags you can run the following docker commands.

docker run -t concourse/concourse web --help
docker run -t concourse/concourse worker --help
