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-get update
apt-get install docker.io docker-compose git
Old Debian version
On old Debian versions, docker should be installed from the official docker repository.
apt-get install ca-certificates gnupg2 wget
wget https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg
apt-key add gpg
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian buster stable" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list
apt-get update
apt-get install docker-ce
Install¶
Get the docker-compose files from gitlab and use it.
git clone https://git.lavasoftware.org/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 Buster and Bullseye.
Dependencies¶
In order to folow this tutorial, you would have to install some dependencies:
apt-get install ca-certificates gnupg2 wget

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 buster main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lava.list
