Concourse is a really amazing piece of software, but the BOSH requirement I think will keep adoption low for small companies.

I use Concourse every day and I don't know yet what BOSH is and I hope I'll never have to. The installation was pretty standard. I followed a tutorial written by Justin Ellingwood, a great technical writer working for DigitalOcean - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-inst....

We made Concourse-Up so you don't need to learn BOSH.

https://github.com/EngineerBetter/concourse-up

It'll give you a working, upgradable, auto-healing Concourse in one command.

The standalone binaries work great, you don't need BOSH or cloudfoundry.

Shameless plug: I've been maintaining three Concourse clusters and have created https://github.com/SHyx0rmZ/concourse-debian to package the binary for Debian, so I can get away with just upgrading to a new package whenever a new version releases. It's far from perfect yet, but I'm happy to receive some feedback and planning to move my package repository and pipeline to the public soonish.

You should try the binaries!

They are pre-compiled go binaries, and require nothing other than a modern kernel! If you want an example you can see an example in concourse's upstream docker config
