Moving from Data Center to Server
This page outlines how to switch from Confluence Data Center (clustered) to Confluence Server (non-clustered). In these instructions we'll assume that you'll use one of your existing cluster nodes as your new, non-clustered installation.
You'll need a Confluence Server license to switch back to Server.
Before you complete this process
As a precaution, we recommend shutting down all nodes except one, and running Confluence on a single node.
1. Enter your Confluence server license
Your home directory (configured in confluence\WEB-INF\classes\confluence-init.properties) should point to your local home directory.
- Go to
> General Configuration - Choose License Details from the sidebar under the Administration heading
- Enter your Confluence Server license key
2. Shut down Confluence
Stop any cluster nodes that are still running before proceeding. We also recommend configuring your load balancer to redirect traffic away from Confluence.
3. Move items in the cluster shared home back to local home
- Create a directory called
/shared-homein the<local home>directory on one node (if you removed this directory when installing Data Center) - Move the entire
configdirectory from your<shared home>directory to the <local home>/shared-homedirectory - Move the remaining contents of your
<shared home>directory to the root of your<local home>directory
Your cluster's shared home directory should now be empty.
4. Start Confluence
The setup wizard will guide you through the migration process.
To confirm you're now running the non-clustered edition, go to > General Configuration. The 'Cluster Configuration' page should not appear. Instead you'll see information about Confluence Data Center.
