Bamboo Remote Agents: What is bamboo-init.properties

[Kevin Duane]

What is bamboo-init.properties and how can we use it when setting up new remote agents? I see this in the logs during agent startup and we are looking to automate remote agent creation.

[RemoteAgent] Starting Bamboo Remote Agent...
[RemoteAgent] Starting application context...
[PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer] Could not load properties from class path resource [bamboo-init.properties]: class path resource [bamboo-init.properties] cannot be opened because it does not exist

Hi,

The problem was with my JAVA, I reinstalled jre7 instead of the JAVA and its started working for me.

[rliu054]

Thanks! This solved my problem. I was on JRE 8 and met this problem, then I rolled back to JRE 7 it worked fine. Wondering why they're not working with 8

[s2zaman]

I am stuck with getting the agent online.

- With JRE_8 i have this very same issue

[RemoteAgent] Starting Bamboo Remote Agent...
[RemoteAgent] Starting application context...
[PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer] Could not load properties from class path resource [bamboo-init.properties]: class path resource [bamboo-init.properties] cannot be opened because it does not exist

and

- With JRE_7, the remote-agent does not EVEN launch.
and the error is

At least it launches with JRE_8.

Anybody found any clue to this, i am still on my way to get the agent up-and-running and online.

I am also new for the Bamboo and I was searching for the purpose of the 'bamboo-init.properties' file. Getting the above error for the Bamboo remote agent on windows machine.

Hello Mujahed,

Were you able to fix the issue which you have mentioned in the logs above. Because I'm also having the same issue as:

INFO [Thread-2] [RemoteAgentHomeDirectoryLayout] Plugin cache directory: /home/bamboo/bamboo-agent-home/cach

es/plugins

[Fatal Error] :-1:-1: Premature end of file.

Exiting due to fatal exception.

I am having the same problem for the windows machines:

Mujahed,

I don't see how your error has anything to do with the topic of this thread: bamboo-init.properties.

[rsperafico]

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for your interest on automating remote agents creating.

Regarding to your question about bamboo-init.properties, the same is used to specify where Bamboo will (store/look for) all data once you start your Bamboo instance by using <bamboo-install>/bin/start-bamboo.(bat/sh).

As per remote agents, you should use the following command:

# <agent-home>, By default, the remote agent will store its data in a USER_HOME/bamboo-agent-home. If you wish to specify a different directory, add the command line parameter before the JAR file name (-Dbamboo.home=<path>)
# atlassian-bamboo-agent-installer-X.X.jar, where X.X represents your Bamboo version number.

java -Dbamboo.home=<agent-home> -jar atlassian-bamboo-agent-installer-X.X.jar http://bamboo-host-server:8085/agentServer/

Please, refer to Additional remote agent options for further information.

Kind regards,
Rafael

[Kevin Duane]

So the sole purpose of the bamboo-init.properties file is to specify the data storage location? Nothing more?

[Kevin Duane]

Rafael,

Is there any documentation regarding the format or list of propereties we can put into the bamboo-init.properties file? The page you reference doesn't even mention the properties file.
