Supported platforms
Java
You only need to run the agent and server using a supported JDK. Agents can build software with any JDK version.
| Flavor | Version | Support | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
Oracle JDK | 1.8 |  yes |
For Bamboo server, it is not enough to have just the JRE. Please ensure that you have the full JDK. You can download the Java SE Development Kit (JDK) from the Oracle website.

| 1.6 | no | ||
| 1.5 | no | ||
OpenJDK | 1.8 | yes | - |
| 1.7 | no | ||
| 1.6 | no |
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.
Operating systems
| OS | Version | Support | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
Microsoft Windows | - | yes | Bamboo is a pure Java application and runs on any platform, provided all the JDK requirements are satisfied. |
Linux | - | yes | You must create a dedicated user to run Bamboo. Bamboo runs as the user it is invoked under and can potentially be abused. An example of how to create a dedicated user to run Bamboo in Linux: |
| Solaris | with Java JDK 1.8.x | yes | - |
| OS X | - | yes | - |
Application servers
| Application server | Version | Support | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
Apache Tomcat | 8.0.x | yes | We only support the Tomcat version bundled with Bamboo. |
Databases

Agents and custom 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.
The requirements for agents and custom images are the following:
Java
Name | Version | Support |
|---|---|---|
Oracle JDK | 1.8 | yes |
| 1.7 | no | |
1.6 | no | |
OpenJDK | 1.8 | yes |
| 1.7 | no | |
| 1.6 | no |
