In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Cloud Foundry on Alpine Linux Latest.
Prerequisites
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
A virtual or physical server running Alpine Linux Latest with root access.
A standard user with sudo privileges.
Docker installed on the server.
Step 1: Install CF CLI
Log in to the server using ssh with a standard user that has sudo privileges.
Update the package manager using the following command:
sudo apk update
Install CF CLI using the following command:
sudo apk add --no-cache ca-certificates curl && \
curl -L "https://cli.run.pivotal.io/stable?release=linux64-binary&source=github" | tar -zx && \
sudo install cf /usr/local/bin/
Verify that CF CLI is installed by running the following command:
cf --version
Step 2: Install CF Deployment
Install CF Deployment using the following command:
curl -L "https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-deployment/releases/download/v15.2.0/cf-deployment-v15.2.0.yml" -o cf-deployment.yml
Step 3: Install BOSH CLI
Install BOSH CLI using the following command:
curl -L "https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh-cli/releases/download/v6.3.1/bosh-cli-6.3.1-linux-amd64" -o /usr/local/bin/bosh && \
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/bosh
Verify that BOSH CLI is installed by running the following command:
bosh --version
Step 4: Install Credhub CLI
Install Credhub CLI using the following command:
curl -L "https://github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/credhub-cli/releases/download/2.9.0/credhub-linux-2.9.0.tgz" | tar -xz && \
sudo install credhub /usr/local/bin/
Verify that Credhub CLI is installed by running the following command:
credhub --version
Step 5: Install Spiff
Install Spiff using the following command:
curl -L "https://github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/spiff/releases/download/v1.0.9/spiff_linux_amd64.zip" -o spiff.zip && \
unzip spiff.zip && \
sudo install spiff /usr/local/bin/
Verify that Spiff is installed by running the following command:
spiff --version
Step 6: Install BOSH Director
Use the following command to create a BOSH deployment manifest:

Verify that BOSH is installed by running the following command:
bosh status
Step 7: Install Cloud Foundry
Download the CF deployment manifest using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-deployment.git
Move into the cf-deployment directory and activate the manifest using the following command:
cd cf-deployment
bosh upload-stemcell --sha1 863983e14b841874f76c02dbf548410c2ee55028 \
https://s3.amazonaws.com/bosh-core-stemcells/aws/xen-hvm-ubuntu-trusty-go_agent/315.64/bosh-stemcell-315.64-aws-xen-hvm-ubuntu-trusty-go_agent.tgz && \
bosh -n update-cloud-config manifests/cloud-config.yml && \
bosh -n deploy
Once the process is completed, your Cloud Foundry installation is complete.
