GoCD installation on centos 7

By
Installation of the GoCD server using the package manager will require root access on the machine. You are also required to have a java version 8 for the server to run.

The installer will create a user called go if one does not exist on the machine. The home directory will be set to /var/go. If you want to create your own go user, make sure you do it before you install the GoCD server.

 

RPM based distributions (ie RedHat/CentOS/Fedora)


The GoCD server RPM installer has been tested on RedHat Enterprise Linux and CentOS. It should work on most RPM based Linux distributions.

If you prefer to use the YUM repository and install via YUM, paste the following in your shell —
sudo curl https://download.gocd.org/gocd.repo -o /etc/yum.repos.d/gocd.repo
sudo yum install -y java-1.8.0-openjdk #atleast Java 8 is required, you may use other jre/jdk if you prefer

Once you have the repository setup, execute
sudo yum install -y go-server

Alternatively, if you have the server RPM downloaded:
sudo yum install -y java-1.8.0-openjdk #atleast Java 8 is required, you may use other jre/jdk if you prefer
sudo rpm -i go-server-${version}.noarch.rpm

Managing the go-server service on linux


To manage the go-server service, you may use the following commands -
sudo /etc/init.d/go-server [start|stop|status|restart]

Once the installation is complete the GoCD server will be started and it will print out the URL for the Dashboard page. This will be http://localhost:8153/go

Location of GoCD server files


The GoCD server installs its files in the following locations on your filesystem:
/var/lib/go-server       #contains the binaries and database
/etc/go                  #contains the pipeline configuration files
/var/log/go-server       #contains the server logs
/usr/share/go-server     #contains the start script
/etc/default/go-server   #contains all the environment variables with default values. These variable values can be changed as per requirement.

Installing GoCD agent on Linux


Installation of the GoCD agent using the package manager will require root access on the machine. You are also required to have a java version 8 (same version as the GoCD server) for the agent to run.

The installer will create a user called go if one does not exist on the machine. The home directory will be set to /var/go. If you want to create your own go user, make sure you do it before you install the GoCD agent.

Once you have the repository setup, execute
sudo yum install -y go-agent

Alternatively, if you have the agent RPM downloaded:
sudo yum install -y java-1.8.0-openjdk #atleast Java 8 is required, you may use other jre/jdk if you prefer
sudo rpm -i go-agent-${version}.noarch.rpm

Managing the go-agent service on linux


To manage the go-agent service, you may use the following commands -
sudo /etc/init.d/go-agent [start|stop|status|restart]

Configuring the go-agent


After installing the go-agent service, you must first configure the service with the hostname (or IP address) of your GoCD server, in order to do this -

  1. Open /etc/default/go-agent in your favourite text editor.

  2. Change the IP address (127.0.0.1) in the line GO_SERVER_URL=https://127.0.0.1:8154/go to the hostname (or IP address) of your GoCD server.

  3. Save the file and exit your editor.

  4. Run /etc/init.d/go-agent [start|restart] to (re)start the agent.


Note: You can override default environment for the GoCD agent by editing the file /etc/defaults/go-agent

The GoCD has been installed you can open the port 8153 and access the following url on the browser:

http://<ip>:8153/go

Terraform

By
Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions. Configuration files describe to Terraform the components needed to run a single application or your entire datacenter. Terraform generates an execution plan describing what it will do to reach the desired state, and then executes it to build the described infrastructure. As the configuration changes, Terraform is able to determine what changed and create incremental execution plans which can be applied. The infrastructure Terraform can manage includes low-level components such as compute instances, storage, and networking, as well as high-level components such as DNS entries, SaaS features, etc. The key features of Terraform are: Infrastructure as Code : Infrastructure is described using a high-level configuration syntax. This allows a blueprint of your datacenter to be versioned and

Java 8 coding challenge: Roy and Profile Picture

By
Problem:  Roy wants to change his profile picture on Facebook. Now Facebook has some restriction over the dimension of picture that we can upload. Minimum dimension of the picture can be  L x L , where  L  is the length of the side of square. Now Roy has  N  photos of various dimensions. Dimension of a photo is denoted as  W x H where  W  - width of the photo and  H  - Height of the photo When any photo is uploaded following events may occur: [1] If any of the width or height is less than L, user is prompted to upload another one. Print " UPLOAD ANOTHER " in this case. [2] If width and height, both are large enough and (a) if the photo is already square then it is accepted. Print " ACCEPTED " in this case. (b) else user is prompted to crop it. Print " CROP IT " in this case. (quotes are only for clarification) Given L, N, W and H as input, print appropriate text as output. Input: First line contains  L . Second line contains  N , number of
