BOSH

Installing on Ubuntu

I'm installing BOSH on an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server vm running on top an ESXi 6.0u2 host.

BOSH v3 CLI

Start by updating your ubuntu vm.

~$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Next lets install a few dependencies.

~$ sudo apt install -y build-essential zlibc zlib1g-dev ruby ruby-dev openssl libxslt-dev libxml2-dev libssl-dev libreadline6 libreadline6-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 git gnupg2 libcurl3

update: added libcurl3 to the dependency list as it was needed for bosh-deployment Download the binary, make it executable, and move it to your path. Verify you have it installed.

~$ curl -Lo ./bosh https://s3.amazonaws.com/bosh-cli-artifacts/bosh-cli-3.0.1-linux-amd64
~$ chmod +x ./bosh
~$ sudo mv ./bosh /usr/local/bin/bosh
~$ bosh -v
version 3.0.1-712bfd7-2018-03-13T23:26:43Z

BOSH Director

We are going to use the bosh-deployment tool and deploy bosh onto a vcenter environment.

~$ cd /opt/
~$ sudo mkdir bosh-1 && cd bosh-1
~$ sudo git clone https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh-deployment bosh-deployment

Now we need to install the director and specify our vcenter variables.

~$ bosh create-env bosh-deployment/bosh.yml \
    --state=state.json \
    --vars-store=creds.yml \
    -o bosh-deployment/vsphere/cpi.yml \
    -v director_name=bosh-1 \
    -v internal_cidr=10.0.0.0/24 \
    -v internal_gw=10.0.0.1 \
    -v internal_ip=10.0.0.6 \
    -v network_name="VM Network" \
    -v vcenter_dc=my-dc \
    -v vcenter_ds=datastore0 \
    -v vcenter_ip=192.168.0.10 \
    -v vcenter_user=root \
    -v vcenter_password=vmware \
    -v vcenter_templates=bosh-1-templates \
    -v vcenter_vms=bosh-1-vms \
    -v vcenter_disks=bosh-1-disks \
