Role Name

Role to help install or update the Atlassian Crowd.

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 prefer 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 and init.d 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_crowd_version is the version you want to install. This is the only one variable you need to change, the others are optional.

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

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

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

atlassian_crowd_user, atlassian_crowd_uid, atlassian_crowd_group, atlassian_crowd_gid are variables to setup dedicated user to run the instance

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

  attribute: scheme
  value: https

atlassian_crowd_java_opts is the list of custom JAVA_OPTS properties. At this moment you can't change the existing one ;(
