Bitbucket Server- Can we configure the repositories location?

[Eyal Goren]

Hi,

Can you tell me if when we install Bitbucket Server on Linux RHEL, we can install it under /opt, but the repositories that are created be under a shared drive?

@Eyal Goren  Bitbucket Server store repositories in <BITBUCKET_HOME>/data directory. To solve your problem, either you can mount home folder of Bitbucket Server to shared drive (which is really a great idea) or you can just mount `data` directory to shared drive.

You can learn more about how to update home directory, and what does it contain from this documentation provided by Atlassian - https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/bitbucket-server-home-directory-776640890.html

Thanks DPK J!!

I we already have Bitbucket, can we move the data directory to a shared drive and then mount it to point there?

@Eyal GorenYes.

You can move content of data directory to shared drive, and  later mount that shared drive to <BITBUCKET_HOME>/data .

Few things you need consider are,

• User running Bitbucket must have write permission on shared drive
• you stop Bitbucket server before doing this.

I suggested HOME directory first because, in that you just need to copy full content of home to shared driver and just set path of HOME directory to shared drive. No need for mount etc.
