The latest LTS is recommended. Hockeypuck 2.0 is currently packaged for trusty.
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:hockeypuck/unstable sudo apt-get update
If you plan on connecting to a local database on the same server, install it now:
MongoDB:
sudo apt-get install mongodb-server
PostgreSQL 9.4:
Get it from the PostgreSQL Apt repository for LTS distributions.
sudo apt-get install hockeypuck
Edit the configuration file /etc/hockeypuck/hockeypuck.conf
.
Run the Hockeypuck from the command-line with:
/usr/bin/hockeypuck -config /path/to/custom/hockeypuck.conf
To prevent running the service unconfigured, auto-starting the service is disabled on package install. Enable auto-start with:
echo "initstart=yes" > /etc/default/hockeypuck
sudo service hockeypuck start
