      Issue Summary

      In Confluence v8.8.0, the Upload App button on the Manage Apps page is not visible

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Navigate to the Manage Apps page

      Expected Results

      Upload App button should be visible 

      Actual Results

      Upload App button is not visible

      Workaround

      1. Re-enable the UI upload button and API. Setting the system property upm.plugin.upload.enabled to true. For security reasons, do not leave this setting on permanently. We recommend turning it off once plugin upload is complete.
        On Linux setenv.sh
        CATALINA_OPTS="-Dupm.plugin.upload.enabled=true ${CATALINA_OPTS}" 
        
        On Windows setenv.bat
        set CATALINA_OPTS=-Dupm.plugin.upload.enabled=true %CATALINA_OPTS%
        
      2. Load custom plugins from your Confluence file system. Set the system property confluence.plugins.extra.bundled.locations to a target location of your custom plugins, which will be loaded into the system upon restart. We recommend a directory within the Confluence home directory, such as $CONFLUENCE_HOME/plugins/installed-pluginsMake sure you restart Confluence after setting this property.

      Kubernetes
      In the helm chart, navigate to the CONFLUENCE section and place this property under 'additionalJvmArgs' like so:

      confluence:
        additionalJvmArgs: 
          - "-Dupm.plugin.upload.enabled=true"
