Database properties ignored in bitbucket.properties?

unknown

So I going to run BitBucket server 5.13.0 in a docker container.

In my docker file I copy a bitbucket.properties file to BitBuckets Home directory.

It contains:

setup.displayName=VCS
setup.baseUrl=http://sourcecontrol.remoteiv.dk
setup.license=AAAB...
setup.sysadmin.username=admin
setup.sysadmin.password=password
setup.sysadmin.displayName=Admin Istrator
setup.sysadmin.emailAddress=someone@some.com

# Database connection parameters
jdbc.driver=org.postgresql.Driver
jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://sourcecontrol.db.dk:5432/bitbucket
jdbc.user=bitbucket
jdbc.password=bitbucket
db.pool.size.max=80
db.pool.timeout.connect=15
application.mode=default

I can see that it *does* read the properties file.

But it just *ignores* the Database properties and starts up with the default *internal* database.

I can then go into the UI and successfully migrate it to the postgres database, which is running as another container. So I *know* it can connect.

Anyone have any idea as to *why* the database properties are being ignored?

Hi Timothy,

You said you placed bitbucket.properties in the Bitbucket home directory - did you mean you placed in the root of the Bitbucket home directory or in the "shared" folder underneath the home directory (where it needs to go)?

I wonder if you have two files (one in <BitbucketHome> and one in <BitbucketHome>/shared) and you modified <BitbucketHome>/bitbucket.properties but Bitbucket Server reads <BitbucketHome>/shared/bitbucket.properties.
