Introduction
This is a quick guide only, for more information see The Hudson Book Section 3.3
On Debian-based distributions, such as Ubuntu, you can install Hudson through apt-get.
Recent versions are available in http://hudson-ci.org/downloads/debian/
This Link needs to be amended when builds start on Eclipse
Installation
- sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://hudson-ci.org/debian binary/' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hudson.list"
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install hudson
Upgrade
- sudo apt-get update
and then after a backup
- sudo apt-get upgrade
What does this package do?
- Hudson will be launched as a daemon up on start. See /etc/init.d/hudson for more details.
- The 'hudson' user is created to run this service.
- Log file will be placed in /var/log/hudson/hudson.log. Check this file if you are troubleshooting Hudson.
- /etc/default/hudson will capture configuration parameters for the launch.
Where to go from here?
- Try Hudson locally : http://localhost:8080 and install whatever plugins and more you need.
- You might want to make Hudson visible through Apache, to make it available on port 80 (for example, http://myserver/hudson/ instead of http://myserver:8080/). See this blog for more details
