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're evaluating Confluence, use this option or try Confluence Cloud free.

You don't need an external database to install a Confluence trial.

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 Server up and running in no time 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 in a cluster

Confluence Data Center is a clustered solution for large enterprises. It can be hosted on your own infrastructure or deployed to AWS or Azure for a private cloud solution.
