Why is confluence.cfg.xml not in the shared home directory?

Tom Scholten April 28, 2020

I am trying to deploy a Confluence Data Center cluster on Kubernetes, and am experiencing a lot of issues along the way. One of them is the Confluence configuration, located in confluence.cfg.xml.

A lot of things I have tried, one of them volume mounting the confluence.cfg.xml. This volume is then shared over several nodes, which actually makes Confluence nodes run and work with the same configuration. But since this works, but is not in the shared home directory, I doubt if this is a correct solution. 

Can you make clear why the confluence.cfg.xml is located in the local home directory and not in the shared home directory?

The reason why I wanted this file to be shared is because I want Kubernetes to automatically scale the nodes. If I follow the documentation, I have to copy the local home directory and install directory to the new node, each time I want to scale up. This seems a bit impractical.

Because you may need different nodes to be configured differently.
