Running Bamboo as a Linux service
Linux system administration is outside the scope of Atlassian support. This page is provided for your information only.
On Linux/Solaris, the best practice is to install, configure and run each service (including Bamboo) as a dedicated user with only the permissions they require.
To install, configure and get Bamboo to start automatically on Linux/Solaris:
Create a bamboo user account that will be used to run Bamboo. For example, enter the following at a Linux console:
sudo useradd --create-home -c "Bamboo role account" bamboo
Create a directory into which Bamboo will be installed. For example:
sudo mkdir -p /opt/atlassian/bamboo sudo chown bamboo: /opt/atlassian/bamboo
Log in as the bamboo user to install Bamboo:
sudo su - bamboo
You need to extract Bamboo:
cd /opt/atlassian/bamboo tar zxvf /tmp/atlassian-bamboo-X.Y.tar.gz ln -s atlassian-bamboo-X.Y/ current
- Edit
current/atlassian-bamboo/WEB-INF/classes/bamboo-init.properties
and setbamboo.home=/var/atlassian/application-data/bamboo (or any other directory of your choice, but not the same as Bamboo's installation directory)
- Proceed with the service configuration. There are two options included below for creating the service configuration, which one you will use will depend on your Linux distribution:
