Installing Confluence
There are a number of ways to install Confluence. Choose the method that is best for your environment.
Install method | Is this right for you? |
|---|---|
Install a Confluence trial | This is the fastest way to get a Confluence site up and running. If you want to see what Confluence can do, use this option or try Confluence Cloud free. |
Install Confluence using an installer | This option uses an installer, and is the most straightforward way to get your production site up and running on a Windows or Linux server. |
Install Confluence from a zip or archive file | This option requires you to manually install files and configure some system properties. It gives you the most control over the install process. Use this option if there isn't an installer for your operating system. |
Run Confluence in a Docker container | This option gets Confluence Data Center/Server up and running using a pre-configured Docker image. Head to https://docs.docker.com/ to find out more about Docker. Atlassian supports running Confluence in a Docker container, but we cannot offer support for problems which are related to the environment itself. |
Install Confluence Data Center in a cluster | You can deploy a Confluence Data Center cluster on your own infrastructure or a public cloud platform like AWS or Azure. Read the Confluence Data Center Technical Overview for more details on clustering |
