Deprecated – support for this platform will end in an upcoming release.
Java
Oracle JDK
Java 11
Java 8
OpenJDK
Java 11
Java 8
Adoptium OpenJDK
Java 11
Java 8
Good to know:
- Once the JDK is installed, you will need to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable, pointing to the root directory of the JDK. Some JDK installers set this automatically (check by typing 'echo %JAVA_HOME%' in a command prompt, or 'echo $JAVA_HOME' in a shell). You need to do this before installing Bamboo, as Bamboo will automatically configure JDK capabilities based on the system environment variables on your machine.
- For Bamboo server, it is not enough to have just the JRE. Please ensure that you have the full JDK.
- JVM implementations other than HotSpot are not supported, and JDKs from other vendors have not been tested.
- You only need to run the agent and server using a supported JDK. Agents can build software with any JDK version.
- AdoptOpenJDK is now known as Adoptium.
Operating systems
Data center nodes
Microsoft Windows
Linux
Agents
Microsoft Windows
Linux
macOS (including Apple silicon)
Good to know: In Linux, create a dedicated user to run Bamboo. Bamboo runs as the user it is invoked as and can potentially be abused. See Installing Bamboo on Linux.
Databases
MySQL
MySQL 8
MySQL 5.7
Good to know:
- MySQL is supported only with the InnoDB storage engine.
- For MySQL 5.7 use MySQL Connector/J 5.1.49.
- For MySQL 8 use MySQL Connector/J 8.0.26.
PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL 14
PostgreSQL 13
PostgreSQL 12
PostgreSQL 11
PostgreSQL 10
Good to know:
- PostgreSQL is supported when used with the JDBC driver bundled with Bamboo.
- If you are using PostgreSQL and have upgraded GNU libc to version 2.28 or higher, we recommend rebuilding indices before you start Bamboo.
Microsoft SQL Server
SQL Server 2019
SQL Server 2017
Good to know: SQL Server is supported when used with Microsoft's JDBC driver.
Oracle
Oracle 19c
Oracle 12c R2
Good to know:
- The Oracle JDBC driver is no longer bundled with Bamboo. Install the package that matches your versions of Oracle DBMS and JDK. The recommended version of the driver is JDBC 21.x or later. For more information, see Oracle JDBC Frequently Asked Questions.
- Bamboo doesn't support database environment clusters or SCAN VIP Adresses.
- Rate limiting is incompatible with Oracle JDBC driver versions earlier than 21.x. If you're using or plan to use Bamboo with Oracle Database, make sure to install or upgrade to Oracle JDBC version 21.x or later. For more information, see Failed to enable rate limiting in Bamboo in the Bamboo Knowledge Base.
H2
Shipped with Bamboo for evaluation purposes only.
Good to know: Using the H2 database with production instances of Bamboo is discouraged. Due to its susceptibility to data loss during system crashes, H2 is for evaluation purposes only. For production environments, configure Bamboo to use an external database.
Web browsers
Mozilla Firefox
Chrome
Safari
Microsoft Edge
Good to know: If not specified otherwise, the latest stable version supported.
Source repositories
Git
2.8 and later
Perforce
Subversion
1.5
1.6
1.7
1.8
1.9
1.10
Good to know: Bamboo supports Subversion 1.7 but uses the Subversion 1.6 working copy format by default to keep backwards compatibility with older Subversion working copies. If your plans need to use the Subversion 1.7 working copy format, set it in the bamboo.svn.wc.format system property.
Learn how to configure Bamboo to support the Subversion 1.7 working copy format.
Docker
Docker for Mac
17.07 or later
Docker for Linux
17.07 or later
Infrastructure
Application servers
Bamboo runs on a bundled Apache Tomcat and it's the only supported configuration.
Internet protocols
- You can run Bamboo in both IPv4 and IPv6 environments.
- Raw IPv6 addresses are not always recognized. See IPv6 in Bamboo for limitations and known issues.
Agents and custom EC2 images
Atlassian doesn't provide support for customized images. Bamboo provides flexibility to use customized machine images, but it's impossible for us to support all individual configurations.
Use Bamboo stock images as the base for all image customizations to ensure a minimal level of consistency of your Elastic Bamboo setup.
