Installing#

I opted for the Docker install, see https://concourse.ci/docker-repository.html

Created and cd'ed to /home/metksem/concourse. Created and ran the following script to generate the keys: 

#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p keys/web keys/worker

ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ./keys/web/tsa_host_key -N ''
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ./keys/web/session_signing_key -N ''

ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ./keys/worker/worker_key -N ''

cp ./keys/worker/worker_key.pub ./keys/web/authorized_worker_keys
cp ./keys/web/tsa_host_key.pub ./keys/worker

Created this docker-compose.yml file:

docker-compose.yml 
concourse-db:
  image: postgres:9.5
  environment:
    POSTGRES_DB: concourse
    POSTGRES_USER: concourse
    POSTGRES_PASSWORD: changeme
    PGDATA: /database

concourse-web:
  image: concourse/concourse
  links: [concourse-db]
  command: web
  ports: ["8080:8080"]
  volumes: ["./keys/web:/concourse-keys"]
  environment:
    CONCOURSE_BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME: concourse
    CONCOURSE_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD: changeme
    CONCOURSE_EXTERNAL_URL: "${CONCOURSE_EXTERNAL_URL}"
    CONCOURSE_POSTGRES_DATA_SOURCE: |-
      postgres://concourse:changeme@concourse-db:5432/concourse?sslmode=disable

concourse-worker:
  image: concourse/concourse
  privileged: true
  links: [concourse-web]
  command: worker
  volumes: ["./keys/worker:/concourse-keys"]
  environment:
    CONCOURSE_TSA_HOST: concourse-web

Fire up the thing with docker-compose up and find out the IP address of the docker container with docker inspect concourse_concourse-web_1|grep IPAd
And point your browser at the minimalistic UI , login with user concourse and password changeme.

Using concourse#

You basically do everything with the fly cli.
First login and then show targets: 

➜  concourse fly -t lite login --concourse-url=http://172.17.0.3:8080
username: concourse
password: 

target saved
➜  concourse fly targets
