Installing Rundeck
Note
Rundeck depends on Java 11. The Java 14 packages will satisfy this dependency however Rundeck will not function properly with them. It is recommended to install the openjdk-11-jre-headless package manually.
sudo yum install java-11-openjdk-devel
Quick install with yum
You can use this script to add the Process Automation yum repo:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rundeck/packaging/main/scripts/rpm-setup.sh 2> /dev/null | sudo bash -s rundeckpro
Manual yum setup
Remove bintray-rundeckpro-rpm.repo if it exists.
Add the following entries to /etc/yum.repos.d/rundeck.repo replacing any existing entries:
[rundeckpro]
name=rundeckpro
baseurl=https://packages.rundeck.com/pagerduty/rundeckpro/rpm_any/rpm_any/$basearch
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://packages.rundeck.com/pagerduty/rundeckpro/gpgkey,https://docs.rundeck.com/keys/BUILD-GPG-KEY-20240108.key
sslverify=1
sslcacert=/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
metadata_expire=300
sudo yum install java rundeckpro-enterprise
When new versions of Process Automation are released, you can upgrade to them using the command:
sudo yum update rundeckpro-enterprise

Starting Rundeck
To start Rundeck:
sudo service rundeckd start
To verify that the service started correctly, tail the logs:
tail -f /var/log/rundeck/service.log
The service is ready once you see something similar to:
Grails application running at http://localhost:4440 in environment: production
Logging in for the first time
- Navigate to http://localhost:4440/ in a browser
- Log in with the username admin and password admin
Rundeck is now up and running!
