This page contains instructions to help you install Bamboo on Linux. If you want to use your application server, rather than the bundled Jetty server, see EAR-WAR Installation Guide instead.
On this page:
Before you begin
Please ensure that you have read the Requirements section of the Bamboo Installation Guide.
Set up your Bamboo home directory — this is the directory where Bamboo will store its configuration data. To do this, open the file named bamboo-init.properties
in the <Bamboo installation directory>/webapp/WEB-INF/classes
directory. In this file, insert the property "bamboo.home", with an absolute path to your Bamboo home directory. Your file should look something like this:
bamboo.home=/test/bamboo-home
You must use forward-slashes in your directory path. Backslashes are not recognised by Bamboo. Please ensure that the Bamboo home directory is not located inside the Bamboo installation directory
Alternatively, you can specify an environment variable 'BAMBOO_HOME' which specifies the absolute path to your {BAMBOO_HOME} directory. Bamboo will check if an environment variable is defined.
There are two ways you can launch Bamboo on Linux — via a startup script or via a Java Service Wrapper:
bamboo.sh
startup scriptYou can start Bamboo with the default bamboo.sh
file in your installation root directory. The bamboo.sh
command accepts the following options (e.g. ./bamboo.sh start
):
start
— this starts Bamboo.stop
— this stops Bamboo.restart
— this restarts Bamboostatus
— this provides the current status of Bamboo.The wrapper is platform-specific and doesn't work on SunOS.
Alternatively, you can start Bamboo via a Java Service Wrapper, which provides services such as automatic restarting. To do this, you will need to use the start-bamboo
command available in the /wrapper
folder of the Bamboo installation. You will need to fire the command with one of the following options (e.g. ./start-bamboo start
):
console
— this starts Bamboo in a console. The logs will scroll to standard out.start
— this starts Bamboo.stop
— this stops Bamboo.restart
— this restarts Bamboostatus
— this provides the current status of Bamboo.dump
— stops Bamboo abruptly by killing the processIf you have installed Bamboo on a machine with multiple interfaces, and need to bind Bamboo to a single IP address, please see Binding Bamboo to one IP address.
