Installation and Configuration Guide: Bamboo

bamboo-installation-and-configuration

Bamboo is available in two ‘distributions’ — Standalone or EAR-WAR. The Standalone distribution is recommended (even for organisations with an existing application server environment).
Standalone Installation Guide — Windows

Download and Install Bamboo Standalone for Windows (Windows Installer)

·  Download Bamboo Standalone for Windows. Bamboo Standalone for Windows is available for download from the Bamboo Download Center. Choose the Windows Installer (.exe) download.
·  Launch the Bamboo Windows installer (atlassian-bamboo-x.x-standalone.exe) to begin the installation wizard.
·  The installer requires you to specify two directories:
Bamboo installation directory — This is the directory where Bamboo’s application files will be installed. The default is:
C:/Program Files/Bamboo
Bamboo home directory — This is the directory where Bamboo will store its configuration data. If the directory you specify doesn’t exist, Bamboo will create the directory when it launches. The default is:
C:/Documents and Settings//Bamboo-home
Note: You must use forward-slashes in your directory path. Backslashes are not recognised by Bamboo. Please ensure that the Bamboo home directory is not located inside the Bamboo installation directory

Download and Install Bamboo Standalone for Windows (ZIP Archive)

·  Download Bamboo Standalone for Windows. Bamboo Standalone for Windows is available for download from the Bamboo Download Center. Choose the ZIP Archive (.zip) download (click the ‘Show all‘ link to show the ‘ZIP Archive‘ download link).
·  Extract the files from the ZIP Archive (atlassian-bamboo-x.x-standalone.zip) to a Bamboo installation directory of your choice. By default, the root directory in your zip file is named “Bamboo”.
·  Set up your Bamboo home directory — this is the directory where Bamboo will store its root configuration data. To do this, edit the file named bamboo-init.properties in the Bamboo/webapp/WEB-INF/classes directory. In this file, insert the property “bamboo.home”, with an absolute path to your Bamboo home directory. Your file should look something like this:

    bamboo.home=C:/test/bamboo-home

Alternatively, you can specify an environment variable ‘BAMBOO_HOME’ which specifies the absolute path to your {BAMBOO_HOME} directory. Bamboo will check if an environment variable is defined.
·  If you are going to use Bamboo remote agents, set the following in the bamboo-init.properties file in the /webapp/WEB-INF/classes directory:
bamboo.jms.broker.uri=tcp://localhost:54663

  • Replace ‘localhost’ with the real host name or IP address of your Bamboo server.
  • If port number 54663 is already in use, specify a different port number.

Launch Bamboo

Launch via the Start Menu
If you have used the ‘Windows Installer’ to install Bamboo, you can start Bamboo via the Start Menu in Windows (generally under the ‘Bamboo’ folder by default). The following options will be available in your Start Menu:

  • Bamboo Continuous Integration Server Uninstaller‘ — uninstalls Bamboo from your computer
  • Install Service‘ — installs Bamboo as a Windows service (note, this will not start Bamboo)
  • Remove Service‘ — removes the Bamboo Windows service, if you have previously installed it (note, Bamboo will not be uninstalled from your computer)
  • Start in Console‘ — starts Bamboo in a Windows console
  • Start Service‘ — starts your installed Bamboo Windows service
  • Stop Service‘ — stops your installed Bamboo Windows service

You can run Bamboo in two modes, either in a Windows console or as a Windows service:

  • To run Bamboo in a Windows console, click the ‘Start in Console‘ option.
  • To run Bamboo as a Windows service, click the ‘Install service‘ option. After the service is installed, click ‘Start Service‘. Once you have installed Bamboo as a service, Bamboo will start up automatically every time Windows restarts.

Launch via batch file
You can start Bamboo via the batch files that are shipped with Bamboo. If you have installed Bamboo via the ZIP Archive, you will need to use the batch files to start Bamboo. You can find the following batch files in your installation directory:

  • BambooConsole.bat‘ — this starts Bamboo in a Windows console.
  • InstallAsService.bat‘ — this installs Bamboo as a Windows service. Note that this will not start Bamboo.
  • StartBamboo.bat‘ — this starts your installed Bamboo Windows service.
  • StopBamboo.bat‘ — this stops your installed Bamboo Windows service
  • UninstallService.bat‘ — this un-installs the Bamboo Windows service from your machine. Note that your Bamboo installation still remains.

You can run Bamboo in two modes, either in a Windows console or as a Windows service:

  • To run Bamboo in a Windows console, run ‘BambooConsole.bat
  • To run Bamboo as a Windows service, run ‘InstallAsService.bat‘. After the service is installed, run ‘StartBamboo.bat‘. Once you have installed Bamboo as a service, Bamboo will start up automatically every time Windows restarts.
