Migrating Bitbucket on-prem to Bitbucket (Cloud)

Vincent Leal_5hzich

Hello,

I am seeking out any information I can find on migrating our Bitbucket instance from an on-premise Linux box to Bitbucket's cloud application. This instance is currently running as a docker container atlassian/bitbucket-server.

Is there anyone out there that may have documentation or steps on how to get this process started? Is it even possible. Forgive me if this is a silly question, I do not use the product, but will play a part in the migration.

hello @Vincent Leal ! Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Atlassian provides a tool (Bitbucket Cloud Migration Assistant) to assist.

Documentation is here.

Hello,

Thank you for replying. Out of curiosity, with this migration tool - are we able to "copy" data without "moving" keeping data within both locations?

Also, what has prompted this move is us not being able to log in with LDAP - there is some communication issues here. I do have ssh access to the Linux server - are we able to bypass LDAP and log in with a system account? If so, how would we do that?

Bitbucket allows you to log into the application and authenticates against either an internal user directory or externally-managed user directories (e.g. LDAP, Crowd, etc).

You can't use the ssh credentials you have for the server itself to log into the application.

Robert,

I understand that SSH/OS account credentials are separate from Bitbucket's user list. With me having root access to the system Bitbucket is running on - is there a way for me to access the following:

- Temporarily remove LDAP authentication or run both LDAP and system accounts side by side?

- Change the local administrator's account for Bitbucket, not the Linux system itself?

Ultimately if I'm able to bypass LDAP, use a system account and log into Bitbucket's GUI i would feel much better about starting the migration to the cloud.

Bumping -

Would it be possible to just reset the bitbucket user account password via linux terminal to use it as a user to login to bitbucket without LDAP?

@Vincent Leal

I don't think so only because user information for Bitbucket is stored on a database. This includes users and passwords on the internal user directory.
