The docker images for Bamboo Server and Bamboo Client Base do not work well together
Asked by Milen Kirilov:

I just found out that while trying to connect a Bamboo Client Base container <https://hub.docker.com/r/atlassian/bamboo-agent-base/> to a Bamboo Server container (<https://hub.docker.com/r/atlassian/bamboo-server>).  

The client does connect to the server but fails with an exception:

```

I could not find any information on how to configure the server to provide the proper client bootstrap version.

I was able to make them connect without issues by using the following sequence of commands:

```
docker network create bamboo
docker volume create --name bambooVolume

docker run \
   -v bambooVolume:/var/atlassian/application-data/bamboo \
   --name bamboo-server \
   --network bamboo --hostname bamboo-server \
   -p 8085:8085 \
   --init -d \
   atlassian/bamboo-server

docker volume create --name bambooAgentVolume
docker run \
   -v bambooAgentVolume:/home/bamboo/bamboo-agent-home \
   --name bamboo-agent \
   --network bamboo --hostname bamboo-agent \
   --init -d \
   atlassian/bamboo-agent-base \
   http://bamboo-server:8085
```

<br />

Can you share how you configured your environment?  
What version of Bamboo did you use?
