Moving Confluence Server Install to Containers

[Tom Misilo]

Hello,

I am trying to move our install (and upgrade base OS) to a container install. I am doing the POC with docker-compose at this time. However, what I am running into is confluence keeps starting and stopping at "Confluence tables already exist in the selected database.", instead of just starting the application as is.

Here is a copy of my docker-compose.yml that I am trying to use https://gist.github.com/misilot/59594571caf34229d0d91bceb8d09f80

I have ATL_FORCE_CFG_UPDATE set so it will always regenerate the configuration based on the envrionment variables. I also did not include it, and updated the confluence.cfg.xml to have the correct values for the containerized database, but it gets overwritten anyways.

Thanks!

Hi @Tom Misilo ,

For me, I usually pull the Jira and Confluence dockers and deploy them. Those come up fine for me.

Found this link below may help you circumvent the overwriting issue you are facing:
