Data Center vs Bitbucket Server Docker installation

[Ladislav Toldy]

Hi,

I am little bit confused with Bitbucket Server vs Data Center installation. Article https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/running-bitbucket-data-center-on-a-single-node-996641203.html is pointing to Bitbucket Server installation https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/bitbucket-server-installation-guide-867338382.html

I just want to have confirmed that bitbucket server and datacenter have same code base, just license will enable/disable features of one or another. Especially this image:

Hi @Ladislav Toldy , welcome to the Community!

Bitbucket Server and Bitbucket Data Center do use the same installer, and the license is what enables the Data Center features. If you are planning to use a single node, the instructions for setup will mirror the Server setup instructions (and you just put your Data Center license in during the in-product portion of setup).

If you are looking at configuring multiple nodes and would like the same ease-of-use as the docker image, we also provide an AWS Quickstart for Bitbucket Data Center that's already configured with a load balancer. There's no difference in licensing between a single-node instance and a multi-node (highly available) Data Center instance; only the hardware costs in AWS or your on-premise environment will be different.
