Confluence Server install in Docker falure

[admin@thequestion.ru]

Hi!

I try to install Confluence Server in Docker. I tried as official image and also unofficial one. Problem is the same - failure on database step.

Steps to reproduce:

* install container

* make port 8005 accessible outside the server nginx (I guess could be replaced to any other reverse-proxy server)

* Visit main page http://..../

* Choose Trial install

* Check Confluence QA and Calendar

* Enter Confluence trial license key

* Choose DB options: Direct JDBC, database credentials

* Press "Next"

* Pages starts to load, but process takes toooo long. Then HTTP timeout gets exhausted, so I see 504 error page.

* When I check database I can see tables created by confluence - so DB was well available to Confluence installer.

* Next I wait until CPU usage of Confluence container goes down.

* I try to reload the installation page in browser and get error (see below pls)

How can I install Confluence to Docker?

I had a similar error starting with a local persistant directory/my_local_path_to/confluence-home :  

docker run -v /my_local_path_to/confluence-home:/var/atlassian/application-data/confluence --name="confluence" -d -p 8090:8090 -p 8091:8091 atlassian/confluence-server

I noticed that the files in that directory were being created with a user/group that was different from the owner of the directory ('bin' in my case).

i resolved by:

docker stop confluence

docker rm confluence

\rm -R /my_local_path_to/confluence-home/*

chown -R bin:bin /my_local_path_to/confluence-home

docker run -v /my_local_path_to/confluence-home:/var/atlassian/application-data/confluence --name="confluence" -d -p 8090:8090 -p 8091:8091 atlassian/confluence-server

And it came up correctly.  Hope this helps

To add to the above

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

chown -R bin:bin <data folder> does solve the issue in this instance but that could change based on OS(guid).

Confluence Container user+id:

Host system user+id:

[edwin]

Stop Confluence, Delete all files under 

<confluence-home>/bundled-plugins
<confluence-home>/plugins-cache
<confluence-home>/plugins-osgi-cache
<confluence-home>/plugins-temp
<confluence-home>/bundled-plugins_language

Make sure the user running Confluence has read/write permissions on the Confluence home directory.

Restart Confluence

I found a knowledgebase article that addresses an error like the one you are reporting:

Unable to Start Confluence Due to JMX

The suggestion in the article is to disable the JMX registration process via a configuration file attached to the article.
