    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      If the confluence-home directory is set to a network shared volume, would it be possible to configure the attachments to be stored there, for a clustered configuration? (The customer requesting this feature is unhappy to have to store all attachments in the database.)

            Hi Stephen,

            We are currently working on a completely new version of our clustered offering that provides greater scalability as well as High Availability.

            If you are interested in joining our closed beta program for the new offering, please, send an email to kelvin@atlassian.com with the subject: Confluence Clustered and Kelvin will get back to you ASAP.

            Thanks.

            Keeping the attachments in the file system would be awesome. This has been a problem for us for the last 6 years and prevented us from using a clustered version of Confluence.

            When is this version available and where can we find out more about Confluence Clustering for version 5.6?

            The clustered version of Confluence 5.6 will include the concept of a shared home which will, amongst other things, house the attachments.

            There will be more details included in the 5.6 release notes.

            This issue is old enough to go to kindergarten (4 1/2 years). I'm sure lots of other 4 yr old+ issues get better jokes than that, I'll work on a better one for the 5 yr anniversary.

            In all seriousness, we still desire that this issue be addressed. Atlassian, can you give us any insight on the variables of this request that have prevented it from being worked?

            Hi team,
            we have the same problem in cluster mode.

            Best Regards,

            Just added my vote. We are running a 24x7 installation with four nodes!

            Having the attachments in the DB is a real pain.

            You would think that this request could at least be assigned after more than two years. Please assign the task or tell us whether or not it is going to be worked at all.

            Somebody knows why is it possible to use a single node Confluence with a NFS file system storage and not in a clustered envinronment!?

            We already use NFS (78gb) in a single node installation. Why isn't possible mount the same point in all cluster nodes!? Why database!?

            2000+ users in a single node, we are VERY concerned about that!

            We have another products with this same environment (Weblogic Cluster + NAS) without problems.
