Example BOSH release packaging "tree" Debian package

This BOSH release project is an example of packaging an Ubuntu Debian package and installing it via a pre-start script.

Usage

This repository includes base manifests and operator files. They can be used for initial deployments and subsequently used for updating your deployments:

export BOSH_ENVIRONMENT=<bosh-alias>
export BOSH_DEPLOYMENT=tree
git clone https://github.com/cloudfoundry-community/tree-boshrelease.git
bosh deploy tree-boshrelease/manifests/tree.yml

The bosh deploy command will run the packages/tree/packaging script in your BOSH environment, which will require egress Internet access to fetch the apt-get install tree package. If your BOSH environment is offline, you can use the pre-compile release:

bosh deploy tree-boshrelease/manifests/tree.yml \
  -o tree-boshrelease/manifests/operators/use-compiled-releases.yml

If your BOSH does not have Credhub/Config Server, then remember --vars-store to allow generation of passwords and certificates.

Update

When new versions of tree-boshrelease are released the manifests/tree.yml file will be updated. This means you can easily git pull and bosh deploy to upgrade.

export BOSH_ENVIRONMENT=<bosh-alias>
export BOSH_DEPLOYMENT=tree
cd tree-boshrelease
git pull
cd -
bosh deploy tree-boshrelease/manifests/tree.yml
