I can use a Blob storage account to use as NFS in Bitbucket Data center?

[Yembert Quintero]

Hello everyone, I have my NFS server in a virtual machine with linux but I want to reduce the operating times by passing my server to an azure storage account, since in the same way I have all my bitbucket datacenter in azure (not managed by azure), If my database is already in an RDS, I also wanted my NFS to be a Paas.

Is there a possibility to do that ??? or only allows virtual machines.

Hi @Yembert Quintero 

Atlassian Recommends having NFS Server installed on VM and then share the directory with BitBucket Installed Nodes. There are some requirements on IOPS Speed and other requirements such as lock feature.

I would suggest hosting a VM and then follow the script here to install NFS Server and configurations https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/atlassian-azure-deployment/src/master/bitbucket/scripts/

Thanks,

So In Conclusion, It's best to choose VM over Storage account as Atlassian Documentation is not clear on how to configure NFS Server for Storage account.

I saw a post from Community Leader and sharing this..

Hi @Pramodh M  , 

If you have used the scripts from atlassian / atlassian-azure-deployment / bitbucket / scripts — Bitbucket, could you please add more details about how to use these scripts once we have the VM on Azure is available?
