Is BitBucket supported on Windows Server Core?

[Matt Harriger]

Is it possible to install BitBucket on Windows Server Core? That is, the edition of Windows Server that does not have a full GUI environment, but only has the commadn line and limited GUI support for running installers? The BitBucket documentation does not seem to address this, as far as I can find.

If anyone has done this, can you comment on any problems/difficulties you encountered?

Thanks!

Hi @Matt Harriger,

Yes, it is possible to install Bitbucket Server on Windows without using a GUI.

As can be seen at Running the Bitbucket Server installer, you must tell Command Prompt / PowerShell to wait for the install4j process to use console / unattended mode by issuing a command like below in the directory into which the installer was downloaded:

start /wait installer_file_name.exe -c

After the installer finishes, you should be able to reach the web interface from another workstation by typing http://<bitbucket_host_name>:7990 in the web browser.

I hope this helps!
