Deploy Confluence with Docker

1. Environmental requirements

1. Docker 17 and above have been installed

2. Container Operation

docker run -d --name confluence -p 8090:8090 --user root:root cptactionhank/atlassian-confluence

Then wait for the image to be pulled

After the startup is complete, access the browser directly:

http://${Server}:8090/

Let's take a look at Docker deployment of Confluence15.2

1. Database preparation Database version: 5.7

The database here does not use the docker image method, but chooses an existing database. As for the database installation, it will not be explained here.

Note: When I install confluence here, I need to add ?sessionVariables=tx_isolation='READ-COMMITTED' after the database address link when configuring the database information below, otherwise an error will be reported

1) Create a database and authorize it

create database confluence default character set utf8 collate utf8_bin;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON confluence.* TO 'confluence'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'Confluence#123' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

2. Installation of Confluence

1) Get the image

Confluence image Let's pull the official latest image atlassian/confluence-server:6.15.2

[root@vanje-dev01 ~]# docker pull atlassian/confluence-server:6.15.2

The image size is about 800M. The download speed depends on the local bandwidth. Just wait patiently.

2) Start Confluence

[root@vanje-dev01 ~]# docker run -d \ -v /opt/confluence:/var/atlassian/application-data/confluence \ -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \ --name="confluence" \ -p 7080:8090 \ -p 7091:8091 \ atlassian/confluence-server:6.15.2

The above parameters mount the host directory to persist Confluence data and synchronize container time. 7080 is the port mapped from the container to the host, which will be used to access Confluence later.

After startup, you can use docker ps to check whether the startup is successful. If you see that the confluence container is in the UP state, it proves that it has been successfully started.

3) Installation and configuration of Confluence

Open the confluence access page in the browser: http://172.16.11.248:7080, and you can see the confluence installation configuration page

3.1) Modify the language (depending on your needs)

3.2) Get the plugin. You don’t need to select it here. Just go to the next step.

3.3) Get the Server ID. You need to enter the key on this page before you can proceed to the next step. You need to remember the server ID for later cracking.

3. Confluence cracking

3.1) Download the crack package

Download address: key-Confluence.rar

3.2) Run the cracking program (Java environment required)

Open cmd on win, enter the following path, and run the cracking program

D:\key-Confluence\confluence5.1-crack\confluence5.1-crack\iNViSiBLE\

java -jar confluence_keygen.jar

3.3) Copy atlassian-extras-decoder-v2-3.4.1.jar from the container and rename it

docker cp confluence:/opt/atlassian/confluence/confluence/WEB-INF/lib/atlassian-extras-decoder-v2-3.4.1.jar /tmp/atlassian-extras-2.4.jar

3.4) Put the atlassian-extras-2.4.jar just copied from the container into the crack folder (D:\key-Confluence\), which will be loaded when the cracking program generates the key later.

Click .patch and select the atlassian-extras-2.4.jar file copied from the container for loading. If everything is OK, you can see the message "Loading Successfully" in the lower left corner.

3.5) Fill in the registration information

name: Any

Server ID: the server ID that appears above (mine is: B3B4-0N2V-HJY0-1HJL)

After filling in the information, click the .gen button to generate the required key

3.6) Copy the generated new atlassian-extras-2.4.jar file back to the confluence container

docker cp atlassian-extras-2.4.jar confluence:/opt/atlassian/confluence/confluence/WEB-INF/lib/atlassian-extras-decoder-v2-3.4.1.jar

Note: By generating the key above, a new jar file (and cracked file) will be generated in the directory where atlassian-extras-2.4.jar is located. You need to copy the generated new file to the confluence container

In addition, since we are using the MySQL database here, we also need the MySQL driver, otherwise we cannot fill in the username and password when configuring the MySQL information below, so we copy the MySQL driver to the container

docker cp mysql-connector-java-5.1.47.jar confluence:/opt/atlassian/confluence/confluence/WEB-INF/lib/

MySQL driver download address: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/5.1.html

Restart the confluence container

3.7) Copy the generated key and enter it into the browser, click Next to proceed with database configuration

3.8) Configure database information

When selecting your own database, select MySQL in the database type. After filling in the database information successfully, click the test link. If it shows success, you can proceed to the next step.

Note:

1. The IP address in the database URL needs to be changed to the real database IP, and ?sessionVariables=tx_isolation='READ-COMMITTED' needs to be added at the end, otherwise an error will be reported. In addition, you need to add the string useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8 to prevent Chinese garbled characters from appearing.

Full URL: jbdc:mysql://172.16.11.248/confluence?sessionVariables=tx_isolation='READ-COMMITTED'&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8

2. If you did not add the "useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8" string during installation, you can edit the confluence.cfg.xml file in /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence after installation and add "&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8"

Complete configuration: <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://172.16.11.248/confluence?sessionVariables=tx_isolation='READ-COMMITTED'&amp;useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=utf8</property>

3.9) The next step takes a little longer because the data needs to be initialized into the specified database. After the initialization is successful, you can see the following page. We choose a blank site for confluence use.

3.10) Configure Confluence management user

This way, the installation and cracking of Confluence is complete, and you can start using it later.

4. Solve the problem of garbled characters when uploading attachments

After installing Confluence, if the attachments we upload contain Chinese characters, garbled characters will appear when previewing. This is because there is no Microsoft font in our container and we need to add it manually. See the figure below:

4.1) Upload font files

The font setting command has been installed in the official image of confluence, so we don't need to install it separately (this is really good...), we just copy the Microsoft font from the win system to the specified file in the image

Win system font file path: C:\Windows\Fonts

I chose simsun.ttc (New Song; Regular) here, uploaded it to the confluence container host, and then copied it to /usr/share/fonts/chinese in the image

4.2) Copy the font file to the container

First enter the container and create the Chinese directory

[root@vanje-dev01 ~]# docker exec -it confluence /bin/bash #Enter the containerroot@795b0edae75e:/var/atlassian/application-data/confluence# mkdir /usr/share/fonts/chinese/ #Create the chinese directoryroot@795b0edae75e:/var/atlassian/application-data/confluence# exit #Exit the container[root@vanje-dev01 ~]# docker cp simsun.ttc confluence:/usr/share/fonts/chinese/ #copy the font to the container

Note: As mentioned above, the font command is installed by default in the official image of Confluence, so the /usr/share/fonts directory already exists. If yours does not have this directory, you first need to install the font command before you can perform the above command operations.

4.3) Modify the confluence startup loading file

After placing the required fonts in the container, we also need to set up Confluence so that it can load the fonts we need when it starts.

Edit the /opt/atlassian/confluence/bin/setenv.sh file and add the following line to it:

CATALINA_OPTS="-Dconfluence.document.conversion.fontpath=/usr/share/fonts/chinese/ ${CATALINA_OPTS}"

4.4) Clear the confluence cache file directory

Enter the confluence data directory: /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence

Delete all cached document files in the viewfile directory and the shared-home/dcl-document directory

Note: If you do not perform this operation, garbled characters will still appear when previewing old files, and only newly uploaded files will be previewed normally.

Then restart the container, which can solve the problem of garbled Chinese characters when previewing the attached files.
