Atlassian Confluence 5 Essentials

Chapter 1. Getting Started with Confluence

Atlassian started back in 2002 and they set out to create software that would be inexpensive, easy to use, and would take little effort to install and maintain. Thanks to these principles, the installation process of Confluence is relatively easy and straightforward; there is even a one-click installation wizard available. In this chapter, we will start with a high-level overview of Confluence, looking at the different components that make the application. We'll take a look at the different deployment options available, including distribution choices, application servers, and databases. Finally, we will install our own Confluence application from scratch.

By the end of the chapter, you will have learned about:

  • The overall architecture of Confluence

  • Platforms and applications supported by Confluence

  • Installing Confluence and all of the required software

  • Configuring database connections

  • Running Confluence, safely

Description

Every idea, concept, and project needs documentation, which is traditionally kept in a variety of documents on different devices. Confluence 5 centralizes that documentation and provides it in one single location, available from almost any device and location. Atlassian Confluence 5 Essentials is a practical, hands-on guide explaining not only how to install and administrate Confluence, but also everything you need to create, share, and collaborate on your documentation. This book will give you everything you need to get started with Confluence. Before you can start creating content, Confluence needs to be available. That is exactly where we start with this book; installing Confluence. Through a number of clear, practical exercises you will go from installation and administration, to creating content and involving your teammates. This book will teach you how to quickly create compelling content. You will learn how to involve your teammates in the process, using the Confluence workbox and share features. You will learn how Confluence can be customized with regards to look and feel, extra functionality, and integration with other tools, so that there is nothing in your way when you want to introduce Confluence 5 within your organisation. If you need to develop better collaboration on mission critical projects, then this book is for you!

This book will also appeal to veteran users as it will give you new insights and tricks for how to use Confluence even more efficiently.

I had to get a Confluence site up and running quickly, and while I like Confluence, its documentation is haphazard. This book stepped me through the essentials, and enabled success. I still referred to it from time to time, even after using Confluence for several years.
