Hardware

Architecture

x86-64

CPU

Evaluation: 1 core 
Production: 2+ cores

Memory:

3GB+

Good to know

  • You'll need at least 3GB available memory. We recommend 1GB for Bitbucket and an additional 2GB to support Git operations. 
  • Your specific hardware requirements will depend on the number and frequency of Git operations and the number of active users. See Scaling Bitbucket Server for more information. 
  • For setting up Bitbucket Mesh, see requirements for Mesh nodes.



Environments

(tick) Linux

(info) Apple macOS

Known issues

  • You can’t use NFS hosted on Windows for Bitbucket’s shared home directory.
  • Apple macOS is evaluation only. MacOS cannot be used for production deployment.

Good to know

  • In production environments Bitbucket should be run from a dedicated user account.
  • Linux support requires a 2.6.17+ kernel and glibc 2.7+. This means that Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, which uses glibc 2.5, is no longer supported for Bitbucket Server 7.0+. 


Containerization

You can use official images to deploy Bitbucket in a Docker container or customize a Docker deployment on your own.

We support the Atlassian Docker templates and can help with Bitbucket related problems. We don't provide support for Docker itself or problems with any Docker environment.


Containerization manager

We recommend that you use official helm charts to deploy Bitbucket Data Center with Kubernetes or customize a Kubernetes deployment on your own with the reference to the official helm charts.

We support the Atlassian Kubernetes helm chart and can help with Bitbucket Data Center product-related problems. We don't provide support for Kubernetes itself or problems with any Kubernetes environment.

Read our Kubernetes support disclaimer and more about what we support and what we don’t.


Cloud Platforms

(tick) Amazon Web Services (AWS)

(tick) Microsoft Azure

Known issues

You can't use Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) for Bitbucket's shared home directory.

Good to know

See  Recommendations for running Bitbucket in AWS  for more information.


Java

Oracle Java & OpenJDK

(tick) Java 17

(tick) Java 11 (supported from 11.0.8+)

(error) Java 9

(error) Oracle Java 8u321

(error) Oracle Java 8u311

(tick) Java 8 (supported from 1.8u65+)


Good to know

  • Bitbucket will install a supported version of OpenJDK Java JRE that is only available to Bitbucket if necessary. See Running the Bitbucket installer.

  • If you choose to pre-install a JRE, we recommend using an OpenJDK Java 11 JRE. You can download one from the Eclipse Temurin™ website.

  • For OpenJDK, download and install instructions for Linux flavors at http://openjdk.java.net/install/.

  • Pre-installed Java on some AWS EC2 Linux instances might be installed with a subset of features. For more information, see SSH server fails to start on AWS EC2 instance.

  • We support standard OpenJDK builds, including Oracle's official build, alternative builds such as Adoptium OpenJDK (formerly known as AdoptOpenJDK), and builds shipped with Linux distributions such as Red Hat Enterprise. 

  • AdoptOpenJDK is now known as AdoptiumOpenJDK.
  • Oracle Java 8u311 and 8u321 are not supported due to JDK-8279618.
