Cannot setup admin user, when installing Bamboo server from docker image
Asked by Victor Mikhaylov:

Preface:

Host machine is Windows 10, Docker for Windows 18.09.2

Image pulled with command:

docker pull atlassian/bamboo-server

Then I run it with command:

docker run -v /data/bamboo:/var/atlassian/application-data/bamboo --name="bamboo-server" --init -d -p 54663:54663 -p 8085:8085 atlassian/bamboo-server

Result:

At first , I open localhost:8085

Bamboo server shows me some "preparation - wait" page, which never finishes.

When I refresh it, the page for setup admin user shown.

Any attempts to create admin users end with exception:

Internal server error {#toc-hId--1416401711}
