Concourse CI on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg
Concourse CI is an open-source continuous-integration and delivery system built on one idea: everything is a pipeline. Pipelines are plain YAML made of resources, jobs and tasks, version-controlled with your code, and every build runs in a clean container - so builds are reproducible and there is no snowflake build server to maintain. This cloudimg image installs Concourse CI 8.2.4 as a complete single-node deployment (the web node, one worker and PostgreSQL) on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, behind an nginx reverse proxy on port 80, with data on a dedicated Azure data disk and a per-VM admin created on the first boot of every VM. Backed by 24/7 expert support.
Pipeline-Based CI/CD
Everything is a declarative YAML pipeline of resources, jobs and tasks, version-controlled with your code; every build runs in a clean container for reproducibility. The fly command-line client is preinstalled.
Complete Single-Node Stack
The web node (the ATC API, the web UI and the TSA worker gateway), one worker that runs your task containers, and a PostgreSQL database - all on one VM, with the web UI on port 80 via nginx (WebSocket upgrade for live build logs).
Dedicated Data Disk
The PostgreSQL cluster and the worker work-dir live on a dedicated, independently resizable Azure data disk at /var/lib/concourse, separate from the OS disk and re-provisioned with every VM.
Secure First Boot
A unique admin password and a freshly rotated session signing key are generated on the first boot of every VM, with the password written to a root-only credentials file.
