How to install CloudFoundry on local server

Question

I know that CF is made for running on multiple cloud services for one unified view of an microservice app. However, I would like to install and run the cloud foundry on my CentO

Answer 1

Setup CF (Cloud Foundry)

** UPDATE ** Probably the easiest way is PCF Dev https://pivotal.io/pcf-dev BOSH Lite gives you more options, but for most people just trying out CF I would recommend PCF Dev.

Easiest way is to deploy CF using BOSH Lite. You will probably need 16gb of ram.

Install Vagrant

gem install vagrant

Download BOSH Lite

git clone https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh-lite

Start up BOSH Lite

cd bosh-lite
vagrant up --provider=virtualbox

Target Bosh Lite

bosh target 192.168.50.4 lite

username/password: admin/admin

Add needed routes

bin/add-route

Download the Stemcell

wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/bosh-warden-stemcells/bosh-stemcell-3147-warden-boshlite-ubuntu-trusty-go_agent.tgz

Install BOSH CLI

gem install bosh_cli --no-ri --no-rdoc

Upload the stemcell that BOSH Lite CF uses

bosh upload stemcell bosh-stemcell-3147-warden-boshlite-ubuntu-trusty-go_agent.tgz

Download CF

git clone https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-release.git --recursive

Generate the CF BOSH Lite manifest

scripts/generate-bosh-lite-dev-manifest

Create, Upload and Deploy release

bosh create release --force && bosh upload release && bosh -n deploy

^^^ This will take awhile ^^^

Work with CF

Install CF CLI
See instructions here:
https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cli

Login to CF

cf login -a https://api.bosh-lite.com --skip-ssl-validation -u admin -p admin

Create an org

cf create-org org

Create a space

cf create-space space -o org

Target org and space

cf target -o org -s space

That should do it!
