Install LAVA¶
Two installation methods are currently supported:
We advice to use docker image for a first test of LAVA.
For a production instance, both methods would be suitable.
Docker¶
In order to install LAVA using the official docker images, we advice to use the provided docker-compose file.
Dependencies¶
Install the dependencies: docker and docker-compose:
apt update
apt install docker-compose
Install¶
Get the docker-compose files from gitlab and use it.
git clone https://gitlab.com/lava/pkg/docker-compose
cd docker-compose/
docker-compose pull
docker-compose up
The newly created instance is now available at localhost.
Debian¶
In order to install LAVA using the Debian packages, we advice to use the repositories that we manage to get the latest version.
Supported Debian versions
LAVA is only supported on Debian Bullseye and Bookworm.
Dependencies¶
In order to follow this tutorial, you would have to install some dependencies:
apt install ca-certificates gnupg2 wget
Repository¶
Add the lavasoftware debian repository:
wget https://apt.lavasoftware.org/lavasoftware.key.asc
apt-key add lavasoftware.key.asc
echo "deb https://apt.lavasoftware.org/release bullseye main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lava.list
echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-backports main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list
wget https://apt.lavasoftware.org/lavasoftware.key.asc
apt-key add lavasoftware.key.asc
echo "deb https://apt.lavasoftware.org/release bookworm main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lava.list
Install¶
Install postgresql and lava debian packages:
apt update
apt install postgresql
pg_ctlcluster 13 main start
apt install lava-server
apt install -t bullseye-backports lava-dispatcher
apt update
apt install postgresql
pg_ctlcluster 15 main start
apt install lava-server lava-dispatcher
Starting¶
Enable default LAVA server Apache configuration:
a2dissite 000-default
a2enmod proxy
a2enmod proxy_http
a2ensite lava-server.conf
systemctl restart apache2
You can start the different services:
systemctl start apache2

The newly created instance is now available at localhost.
