This document records the setup notes for Rundeck.

EnvironmentVersion

Rundeck4.14.1

Installing Java

# apt-get install -y openjdk-11-jre-headless

Registering the Repository

The official method uses apt-key, which issues a warning on 22.04, so we will change it.

# curl -L https://packages.rundeck.com/pagerduty/rundeck/gpgkey > /etc/apt/keyrings/rundeck.asc

Next, add the Rundeck repository.

# cat << _EOF_ > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rundeck.list
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/rundeck.asc] https://packages.rundeck.com/pagerduty/rundeck/any/ any main
deb-src [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/rundeck.asc] https://packages.rundeck.com/pagerduty/rundeck/any/ any main
_EOF_

Once the repository is added, update the package information.

# apt-get update

Installing Rundeck

# apt-get install rundeck

Starting the Service

It seems daemon-reload is not executed right after installing with apt, so do it manually.

# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl start rundeckd
# systemctl enable rundeckd

Setting Up the UI
