Can Bamboo run in standalone, solitary on manual mode?

LUC FILION_ybz8ol

We are looking for having Bamboo run in a standalone mode, disconnected from a source control program (such as BitBucket). Is this possible ?

We would need for that something like : 

• The possibility to set triggers that would simply have Bamboo to build a predefined plan (located in its specific directory). File updates in this directory would be manual (script for instance).

Thanks!

Good question, that's indeed not obvious when reading about Configuring plans, where Linking to source code repositories seems to be a required step, even though using Bamboo without a source code repository is no problem at all - somewhat counter intuitively, you still need to select 'Link new repository', but with a repository type 'None':

Of course, you'd need to transfer files required for the build (if any) to your working directory by other means, as you already stated.

As for triggers, I'm afraid that (to my knowledge) what you seem to be looking for isn't available, insofar Bamboo is only able to conditionally run the build based on whether files have changed when using a repository type that implements applicable repository interfaces for change detection etc. - accordingly, you'd need to resort to triggering a build from the context that performs the file upload, be it manually or automated.

• In other words, implementing a repository type that watches a file system for changes seems possible, but I'm not aware of an existing implementation.
