Hi,
I have a requirement to setup a production clone environment of bitbucket server ver. 5.5 with SQL server database.
I am thinking of creating a clone of production vm. What are the steps to following once we restore the clone VM. I am new to Bitbucket server administration on Windows server 2012. Need your help.
Hi @Girish Shenoy,
The instructions by @Daniel Wester are great (thanks Daniel)!
We also have a page covering this topic and providing links to the official documentation pages for the various steps:
- How to establish staging server environments for Bitbucket Server
The page also provides instructions on what needs to be updated / disabled on the staging environment to avoid impacts on the production server. Note that the list may not be complete depending on the specifics of your installation.
Cheers,

Not sure how your set up is, but the basic gist of the clone should be:
1-4 could be done through cloning the vm (if the database is running locally). I would recommend though having a firewall on the development server so that it can't make any automated external calls (it gets confusing for end users when they get emails from the dev server by accident).
I've seen other folks making sure to change the name of the staging server to be "NOT PRODUCTION: name of service". Highly recommend doing something similar.
