NOTICE

Since we are no longer using this images to run confluence in production, only for development usage, thus we are not goint to update the image as often as we used to. If you like to udpate it more recent, please apply as contributor, we are happy to add you.

Docker images for Atlassian Confluence

Production-ready AND development ready, up to date builds of Atlassian Confluence - right from the original binary download based on

• bellsoft openjdk 11 (Confluence 7+)
• bellsoft openjdk 8 (Confluence 6)

You can run those images for production use ( see ./examples ) or for developing with auto-setup and debugging.

Usage

Production

• See ./example/postgres using postgresql
• See ./example/mysql using mysql
• See ./example/ssl with SSL, see below

SSL

You can also run the stack with official SSL certificates using the Traefik based stack, see ./example/ssl. Just enter your CONFLUENCE_DOMAIN in ./example/ssl/.env and you are all set.

Development

• See ./example/debug to see how to run with enabled debugger
• See ./example/login to see how to allow URL based login (insecure) using os_username

Automatic builds

Build via github actions.

Supported tags and respective Dockerfile links

Quickstart

docker-compose up

Configuration

Please see the docker-compose.yml for the configuration variables

Also, see the folder examples/ for different examples with Postgres or Mysql

Environment variables

Configures the DB host to wait for the DB to come up. Those variables are not used by confluence during the installation

• CONFLUENCE_DB_HOST=db
• CONFLUENCE_DB_PORT=5432

Set the DEBUG port, e.g. for development

• JPDA_ADDRESS=5005
• JPDA_TRANSPORT=dt_socket

Configuration

• CATALINA_OPTS=-Xms256m -Xmx1g
• CONFLUENCE_CONTEXT_PATH= # context path like /confluence
• CONFLUENCE_DELAYED_START= # seconds to wait before starting confluence
• CONFLUENCE_PROXY_NAME= # your.domain.TLD (no scheme!)- your outer proxy domain, e.g. if you use external SSL offloading
• CONFLUENCE_PROXY_PORT= # proxy port, 443 , e.g. if you use external ssl offloading
• CONFLUENCE_PROXY_SCHEME= # http or https - https if you use external ssl offloading

Volumes for persistence

You will need to persist

• the confluence data under /var/atlassian/confluence
• the database folder postgres: /var/lib/postgresql/data or mysql: /var/lib/mysql

Custom scripts

You can add custom startup scripts to customize your confluence during the startup. Let's assume you have a setup.sh in your folder

Your script setup.sh might look like this, setting up a confluence as fast as possible with

• preconfigured server-id
• a preset license
• pre-configured database settings

Moving you as fast as possible to have a blank and working confluence installation. Be sure to replace the

• <YOUR LICENSE> part and adjust the server-id
• adjust your database name, user, and password if needed

So now mount it in your docker-compose file for the confluence server

volumes:
  - setup.sh:/docker-entrypoint.d/setup.sh

After starting the stack, just access your confluence instance once http://localhost and wait for about 1 minute. The confluence database is set up with all the bits and pieces. Then you just select which type of profile ( blank DB or example ) and create your admin account - that's it!

Build The Image

git clone https://github.com/EugenMayer/docker-image-atlassian-confluence
cd docker-image-atlassian-confluence

For any version of Confluence >= 7.0.0

export VERSION=7.1.2
docker build . -t eugenmayer/confluence:# $VERSION --build-args CONFLUENCE_VERSION=$VERSION

For any version of Confluence <= 7.0.0, we need Java 8

export VERSION=6.17.1
docker build . -f Dockerfile_java8 -t eugenmayer/confluence:# $VERSION --build-args CONFLUENCE_VERSION=$VERSION
