The H2 database is provided for evaluating Confluence and is not supported as a production database. Installations configured to run using an external database such as MySQL will not use this directory. In such cases this directory contains all Confluence runtime data. This is where Confluence stores its database when configured to run with the Embedded H2 Database.

This directory is refreshed on every restart, so removing a plugin from this directory will not uninstall the plugin, as it will be replaced the next time Confluence starts up. The bundled-plugins directory is where Confluence will unpack its bundled plugins when it starts up. You can specify an alternative directory for backups by setting the property in .Ĭonfluence includes a set of bundled plugins. Backup files in this directory take the following form daily-backup-YYYY_MM_DD.zip In Data Center this directory is usually found in the Shared Home directory.Ĭonfluence will place its daily backup archives in this directory, as well as any manually generated backups. You can specify an alternative directory for attachment storage by setting the attachments.dir property in. This directory contains every version of each attachment stored in Confluence. Database details, such as location and connection pool settings.This file contains all of the information necessary for Confluence to start up, such as:

This section outlines the purpose of the files and directories in the Confluence home directory. The Confluence home directory contains some of the configuration data used by Confluence. The location of your shared home directory can be found in your / file in the property. If you're using Confluence Data Center (a clustered instance), you will also have a shared home directory which will contain some data (such as attachments and backups) that would otherwise reside in the home directory. When Confluence is running you can find the location of the home directory in > General Configuration > System Information > Confluence Information - Confluence Home. This location is stored in the confluence-init.properties file, which is located in the confluence/WEB-INF/classes directory of your Confluence Installation directory. The location of the Confluence home directory is defined when you install Confluence. We also refer to this as the 'local home directory' in Data Center. Another term for 'Home directory' would be 'data directory'. The Confluence Home directory is the folder where Confluence stores its configuration information, search indexes and page attachments.
