I don't really know how to fix it. But it loops on the installation of the DB. Could you please help me? Thanks a lot

It's issue related to Java version, please use 1.8u250 and below, versions 1.8u254+ cause overflow at H2 DB, see https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-21018

Another solution is to use non embedded DB like PostgreSQL or use Bamboo 7.1.1+
