Linux targets
Configuring Linux servers as deployment targets in Octopus.
20
true

Linux servers can be configured as deployment targets in Octopus.

The Octopus Server can communicate with Linux targets in two ways:

When using SSH for deployments to a Linux server, the Tentacle agent is not required and doesn't need to be installed.

:::div{.success} The Linux Tentacle is the recommended way to configure your server as a deployment target. This allows you to secure the SSH port on your servers.

If you operate in a highly secure environment, where it's not possible to open an inbound TCP port for Tentacle (10933 by default), you can configure the Linux Tentacle in Polling mode. :::

Requirements

  • The $HOME environment variable must be available.
  • bash 3+ is available at /bin/bash.
  • tar is available. This is used to unpack Calamari.
  • base64 is available. This is used for encoding and decoding variables.
  • grep is available.

Any Linux server which meets these minimum requirements will be able to be configured as a deployment target or worker. However, there are additional requirements to be aware of for both SSH targets and Linux Tentacle.

The following platforms are explicitly supported (we run automated tests against them):

  • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
