Supported operating systems:

  • Windows
  • Linux
  • Mac OS X
  • Solaris
  • Unix

Not officially supported anymore as of Confluence 2.8

  • As of Confluence 2.8 and later, zOS, AIX and HPUX are not supported
  • As of 2.8 Confluence is only supported on X86 processors

Basically Confluence works on any OS that has J2EE 1.4 support (Refer to the Java 1.4 Support Timeline). If you can get Confluence running on an unsupported operating system we will still try to help you if you encounter problems, but we may ask you to move to a supported operating system before we can provide more detailed support.

Virtual Environments such as VMware can experience performance problems. They are neither recommended nor supported. Performance problems are especially significant for clustered Confluence.
