Can I install Confluence on minimal Linux?

Andy_m43q1b

Hello,

I have CentOS minimal running and wondered if Confluence can be installed on it? I can can't find the instructions to install via command line.

Anyone tried this and can share the commands to get started?

Thanks

Dear @Andy

yes, you can. You can follow my article that was written for Jira Software. You have just to note following:

The package management is yum or rpm instead of zypper. The packages should have similar names.
Confluence default port is 8090 - Jira is 8080
Confluence doesn't read the variable JIRA_HOME - you have to set the confluence-home path as described
Adapt the path information in the systemd scripts
the location for additional jdbc driver ist different. Confluence: confluence/WEB-INF/lib

If you plan to use MySQL instead of postgesql, read my former article.

So long

Try these instructions. https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/installing-confluence-on-linux-143556824.html

I have always installed via the command line (using Putty/SSH). The only issue you will have is SELinux where you will have to open up ports before you can access your server via the command line (and sub the server IP address for the loopback).

Thanks. The part I don’t know how to do is if I’m using the command line version of Linux only, how do I download the file and execute (from shell)?

Most of the instructions assume I have a browser. I’m using CentOS Minimal.

Thanks

Dear @Andy ,

all the files can be pulled by wget or curl command. Figure out the links with the browser (and copy&paste) or see my article links to the binaries and just adapt the version to a newer.

Go to the archives page (makes it easier to select the exact version and flavor you want:

https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/download-archives

Then right-click on the download button and save URL/Link to get the URL for the flavor you want:

For the latest Linux installer, the URL is:

https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/downloads/binary/atlassian-confluence-6.6.15-x64.bin

Next can then select a location on your server to download the binary to and issue the wget command:

wget https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/downloads/binary/atlassian-confluence-6.6.15-x64.bin

Then follow the rest of the instructions here: installing-confluence-on-linux - Run the installer.

Hello,

I've install CentOS in VMware and instlled Confluence. The server is on 192.168.189.142 which I can ping from my PC, but I the web site doesn't work on http://192.168.189.142:8090. If I try and telnet to that IP on 8090 it doesn't open either.

Any ideas?

Installation of Confluence 6.6.15 is complete
Your installation of Confluence 6.6.15 is now ready and can be accessed via
your browser.
Confluence 6.6.15 can be accessed at http://localhost:8090
