This upgrade guide contains generic upgrade tasks that are common across Bamboo versions. Please ensure that you also read the Upgrade Guide for the version you are upgrading to.

Step 1. Identify your Bamboo directories

Go to the 'System Info' page in the 'Administration' menu of your Bamboo instance and note the location of the Bamboo Home, Build Data Path and Configuration Path directories:

Step 2. Shut down Bamboo

You need to shut down Bamboo before backing up or performing the upgrade.

Step 3. Back up Bamboo

Backing up Bamboo consists of two tasks:

  1. Back up your Bamboo Home, Build Data Path and Configuration Path directories, identified in Step 1. For more information about these directories please see Important Directories and Files.
    If you are using an external database, then use native database backup tools to acquire a database dump.
    Note that it is not necessary to back up your Working Directory.
  2. Export your Bamboo data for backup. See the Exporting Data for Backup for instructions. Please note, that this may take a long time to complete depending on the number of builds and tests in your system.

Step 4. Re-install Bamboo

(info) Please note:
If you are installing using the .zip or .tgz packages:

If you are installing using the Windows installer or the Mac installer

Follow steps 1 and 2 of the installation instructions for your operating system:

Step 5. Update plugins

If you are using any plugins other than the ones that ship with Bamboo, check that each one is compatible with the new version of Bamboo. Upgrade any plugins that are out-of-date, and disable any plugins that are incompatible with your new version of Bamboo.

Step 6. Re-configure external user repositories (if applicable)

Step 7. Start Bamboo

Bamboo needs to have write access to your database to complete the upgrade tasks that will run when you start up Bamboo. Please consult your database documentation to ensure that you have configured your database appropriately.

Once you have installed Bamboo and set the 'bamboo.home' property (as described in the Installation Guides), start Bamboo. The upgrade process will be performed when Bamboo starts up. You will not see the Setup Wizard.

Monitor the atlassian-bamboo.log to ensure that the upgrade process has completed successfully.

Step 8. Re-index Bamboo (if indicated in release notes)

Bamboo maintains an index of its build results. This allow Bamboo to display aggregate build results information across builds. You may need to perform a re-index of Bamboo if the upgrade process requires it. This step may or may not be required (depending on the upgrade versions). Also note that you only need to do this if you have existing data in Bamboo.

To re-index, go to 'Administration', then 'Indexing', and click the 'Reindex' button. 

Depending on the number of builds and tests you may have, the indexing process may take a significant amount of time. During this period, Bamboo will not be available. Also, it is advisable to ensure that all you have disabled all build queues (or all agents, if you are upgrading from Bamboo 2.0 or later), and that no builds are in progress when you start the re-indexing process. If you have a large instance, it is recommended that you reindex overnight.
