How to install Hudson

Ubuntu 9.10

1. sudo apt-get install tomcat6 (this should also pull in OpenJDK if you don't already have some distribution of Java installed)
1. sudo mkdir /home/hudson
2. sudo chown -R tomcat6:tomcat6 /home/hudson
   1. sudo editor /etc/default/tomcat6 and assign values for these two variables:
      1. JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx128M -DHUDSON_HOME=/home/hudson"
      2. TOMCAT6_SECURITY=no
   2. sudo editor /etc/tomcat6/tomcat-users.xml and create a role named admin and create at least one user with that role:
      1. <role rolename="admin" />
      2. <user username="hudson-admin" password="secret" roles="admin" />
   3. sudo editor /etc/tomcat6/server.xml and add URIEncoding="UTF-8" to the HTTP <Connector> line, so it looks as follows:
      1. <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" URIEncoding="UTF-8"
3. sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 restart
4. sudo cp hudson.war /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
   1. Go to http://localhost:8080/hudson/ and wait a few seconds for initial configuration
