1. Install on Ubuntu Server

2. Prerequisites

2.1. Ubuntu 14.04

The latest LTS is recommended. Hockeypuck 2.0 is currently packaged for trusty.

3. Add the unstable Hockeypuck PPA

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:hockeypuck/unstable
sudo apt-get update

4. Install the database of your choice

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.

5. Install Hockeypuck

sudo apt-get install hockeypuck

6. Configure Hockeypuck

Edit the configuration file /etc/hockeypuck/hockeypuck.conf. Basic templates for mongoDB and PostgreSQL are provided, and should be copied to /etc/hockeypuck/hockeypuck.conf and edited to suit your needs, and to add any remote peers.

7. Running from user-space (optional)

Run the Hockeypuck from the command-line with:

sudo -i -u hockeypuck
  /usr/bin/hockeypuck -config /path/to/custom/hockeypuck.conf

8. Running with upstart

8.1. Enable the service

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

8.2. Start the service

sudo service hockeypuck start
