Confluence docker - cluster node name

[Dan Koester]

Confluence-server docker - https://hub.docker.com/r/atlassian/confluence-server

Atlassian - Is it currently possible or can you make it possible to set the node name for Confluence when running in a cluster using your official Confluence docker image?

I do not see a way to currently set the confluence.cluster.node.name system property other than changing the config file and creating my own container.

Thanks for any feedback!

Hey Dan!

This (and other) system properties can all be set via JVM arguments. All of our products' Docker images have a built-in way to specifcy JVM args, which is to supply the `JVM_SUPPORT_RECOMMENDED_ARGS` environment variable.

For example:

docker run -d \
    --name connie_1 \
    -p 8090:8090 \
    -e JVM_SUPPORT_RECOMMENDED_ARGS=-Dconfluence.cluster.node.name="BattlestarGalactica" \
    atlassian/confluence-server:latest

This and any other valid property documented at https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/recognized-system-properties-190430.html can be set in the same way. I hope that helps!

Cheers,
Dave
