Role Name

Role tp help install or update the Atlassian Confluence.

Requirements

For running Atlassian Confluence you need a little bit more

• java
• database
• init script

java is out of scope for this playbook. I can't force you to install any version of java on your server. Use any existing java roles to do that. I have my own role hudecof.java to do that.

You could preffer another database as me. So this is out of scope too.

The tar.gz version do not have startup script. I use supervisord to do this job. I will generate template for supervisord , init.d and systemd and put it into installation directory.

If you are updating, shutdown you old instance manually. This role do not handle this!. It will just setup your new instance with your customizations.

Role Variables

atlassian_confluence_version is the verion you want to install. This is the only one variable you need to change, the others are optional.

atlassian_confluence_baseurl is the URL where you can find the tar.gz files. If you have your own mirror, change it.

atlassian_confluence_basedir is path where to download nad extract the tar.gz file, defaults to /opt/atlassian.

atlassian_confluence_home is the confluence.home, aka you data directory.

atlassian_confluence_user, atlassian_confluence_uid, atlassian_confluence_group, atlassian_confluence_gid are variables to setup dedicated user to run the instance

atlassian_confluence_server_xml is list of changes to server.xml It uses XPath to edit/add/remove exiting properties.

atlassian_confluence_server_xml:
