Is there any issue with installing Bitbucket Data Center in only one node?

Baztheman

Hi,

 

I have a customer who does not want to go to Bitbucket Cloud. He does not want the code to be stored in the cloud and mentioned the option of installing Bitbucket Data Center in a single node.

I read the documentation that Bitbucket Data Center is mainly for 500+ users and across multiple nodes. If I do not need high availability and disaster recovery then i can install it in one node without setting up a cluster.

Is there any issue with doing this? Does it seem to be overkill if Data Center is for 500+ users? There must be reasons why we should not do it right? Can you tell me pros and cons for doing this?

 

Thank you.

 

B.

Hi @Baztheman ,

Atlassian supports installing the Data Center Version on a single node and it works without problems. 

Bitbucket licenses also starts at lower user tiers with 25 users, so that this should be no problem also.

Bitbucket DC has features, like the ability to use multiple nodes, that are useful for high user tiers, but there are no problems oder reasons to use it only with some users.

But it is probably more expensive then using the cloud, as you have the license, hosting and operations.
