How to Install & Set Up Concourse CI

Run Concourse CI — pipeline-based CI/CD with a strong focus on reproducibility — locally with Docker Compose and the fly CLI.

Prerequisites

terminal

curl -O https://concourse-ci.org/docker-compose.yml
docker compose up -d

Download fly from the running web UI (http://localhost:8080) or use the target below, then log in with the demo credentials.

terminal

fly -t local login -c http://localhost:8080 -u test -p test
fly -t local sync

terminal

fly -t local set-pipeline -p hello -c pipeline.yml

Concourse ships as containers, so the Docker Compose file above is identical regardless of the host distro's package manager.
