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.

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

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.
