Install Bamboo on CentOS 7.x

To install bamboo on CentOS 7.x use following steps:

1. Add resolution of FQDN in /etc/hosts file to machines appropriate IP address. This is required even after DNS is setup to resolve IP via FQDN.
2. Disable SELinux by editing '/etc/selinux/config'

   SELINUX=disabled

3. Install & Configure database
   1. Install mariadb

      yum install -y mariadb-server

   2. Configure mariadb to start on system boot and also start it for current run:

      systemctl start mariadb
      systemctl enable mariadb

   3. Harden mariadb installation and configure mariadb root password:

      mysql_secure_installation

   4. Add below parameters in '/etc/my.cnf' file

      default-storage-engine=INNODB
      max_allowed_packet=256M

   5. Create database and give permissions

      mysql -u root -p
      
      CREATE DATABASE bamboo CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin;
      grant all privileges on bamboo.* to 'bamboo'@'%' identified by '<secret>';
      flush privileges;
      exit

   6. Restart database so that configuration changes in /etc/my.cnf take effect

      systemctl resart mariadb

4. Copy MySQL JDBC driver to application server
   1. Download JDBC driver form http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/

      Example driver URL is http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-J/mysql-connector-java-5.1.40.zip

   2. unzip mysql-connector-java-5.x.x-bin.jar
   3. Copy or move the MySQL JDBC driver jar to the <Bitbucket installation directory>/lib/ directory

      mv mysql-connector-java-5.1.40-bin.jar /opt/atlassian/bamboo/current/lib/

5. Download oracle JDK from oracle website http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
6. Install JDK

   yum localinstall jdk-8u111-linux-x64.rpm

7. Create user account for Bamboo service

   useradd bamboo

8. Create installation directory

   mkdir -p /opt/atlassian/bamboo

9. Set permissions

   chown -R bamboo:bamboo /opt/atlassian/bamboo
   chmod -R 775 /opt/atlassian/bamboo

10. Create home directory

    mkdir -p /var/atlassian/application-data/bamboo

11. Set per missions

    chown -R bamboo:bamboo /var/atlassian/application-data/bamboo
    chmod -R 775 /var/atlassian/application-data/bamboo

12. Download bamboo from https://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/download#! Example URL is https://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/downloads/binary/atlassian-bamboo-5.14.3.1.tar.gz
13. Extract bamboo at installation directory

    tar xzf atlassian-bamboo-5.14.3.1.tar.gz
    mv atlassian-bamboo-5.14.3.1 /opt/atlassian/bamboo/
    cd /opt/atlassian/bamboo
    ln -s atlassian-bamboo-5.14.3.1 current
    chown -R bamboo:bamboo /opt/atlassian/bamboo/

14. Set Bamboo home directory in properties file '/opt/atlassian/bamboo/current/atlassian-bamboo/WEB-INF/classes/bamboo-init.properties'

    bamboo.home=/var/atlassian/application-data/bamboo

15. Start Bamboo as bamboo user

    su - bamboo
    cd /opt/atlassian/bamboo/current/bin
    ./start-bamboo.sh

16. Before machine shutdown bamboo can be stopped using:

    /opt/atlassian/bamboo/current/bin
    ./stop-bamboo.sh

17. After installation Bamboo can be accessed at URL http://<ipaddress>:8085 or http://<fqdn>:8085
18. Bamboo can be integrated with Jira for authentication. Try adding application link between Bamboo and Jira. If that does not sets up authentication automatically then:
    1. Create application authentication username and password in Jira as admin
    2. Configure Jira user directory in Bamboo which connects to Jira user database using created credentials

    Note that manual resync is required to get users created in Jira a few moments ago. The same users need to be added to application for allowing user to login.
