Bitbucket Server to Datacenter Upgrade Process

[Munusamy Kumar]

I just installed Bitbucket Server 5.7.1 and I realized that only the Datacenter version supports SAML 2.0.

Can you direct me to how I can upgrade my existing Server instance to Datacenter? Thanks!

Munusamy,

The installers for both Server and DC are actually the same:

DC (https://www.atlassian.com/software/bitbucket/download/data-center) links to:
https://www.atlassian.com/software/stash/downloads/binary/atlassian-bitbucket-5.8.0-x64.bin

and Server (https://www.atlassian.com/software/bitbucket/download) links to:
https://www.atlassian.com/software/stash/downloads/binary/atlassian-bitbucket-5.8.0-x64.bin

This means that the DC features are just enabled by the license code, so if you upgrade your Server license to a DC license (https://www.atlassian.com/purchase/upgrade/datacenter) you'll be able to deploy your smartmirrors. You WILL NOT be leveraging the full capabilities of BB DC until you move to shared storage/database/elasticsearch etc, but the SmartMirrors may be a good first step anyway.
