Purpose

Bamboo stores artifacts, build working and project directories in the home directory. There are some instances where users will be interested in having this stored outside of Bamboo or even in a network to preserve space on the build machine.

Solution

All paths can be configured in the bamboo-cfg.xml located in the home directory. The three relevant properties and their default values have been included below:

    <property name="bamboo.artifacts.directory">${bambooHome}/artifacts</property>
    <property name="bamboo.project.directory">${bambooHome}/xml-data/builds</property>
    <property name="buildWorkingDir">${bambooHome}/xml-data/build-dir</property>

If you wish to change the location where Bamboo stores its backup, please see the below documentation under Backup Path section for the relevant information:

• Specifying a backup schedule

Example steps for configuring the location where artifacts are stored:

1. Navigate to the bamboo-cfg.xml file in the home directory and change the location as desired. For example to change the artifacts location to a network share, E.g. \\10.60.1.246\ATL04\artifacts, the file content should be changed from:

   <property name="bamboo.artifacts.directory">${bambooHome}/artifacts</property>

   to

   <property name="bamboo.artifacts.directory">\\10.60.1.246\ATL04\artifacts</property>

2. Restart Bamboo.
