Installing Go server on Mac OS X

Installation

  1. Double-click the downloaded file to unzip the contents.
  2. Drag the Go server Application to the Applications folder.
  3. Go server will store its data in ~/Library/Application Support/Go Server subfolder of the user's home folder
  4. Double-click on the Go Server.app icon to open the launcher

  5. While the Go server is starting up, you'll see a progress bar in the top left of your screen

    Go server OSX startup

  6. Once the Go server has started, it will open your default browser to the Go dashboard page.

  7. To get back to the Go dashboard page when the server is running, click on the link in the About box of the Go server

Override environment variables (Mac OSX installer)

You can override default environment variables by:

  1. Overriding them during startup when starting from the terminal

     PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin open /Applications/Go\ Server.app

  2. Overriding them using a file ~/Library/Application Support/Go Server/overrides.env. This file is sourced during server startup, and it can be setup to change environment variables.

     PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

Location of go server files

/Applications/Go Server.app             # The go agent application
~/Library/Application Support/Go Server # The agent directory

Some logging information is also written to /var/log/system.log

Copying existing config to a new Go-Server instance

You can replicate a go-server with all the pipeline, stage, job, tasks and materials definitions/configuration intact.

To do this Administrator should copy cruise-config.xml from the config directory to the new server and clear serverId attribute of server tag.

Note: Copying just the cruise-config.xml file will not migrate the historical pipeline data and artifacts. Please see backup go server to backup and restore an existing go server.
