This document covers how to change a temporary directory on remote agents running on the FreeBSD OS server. We have seen some scenarios where remote agents running on the FreeBSD OS server don't generate a <remote-agent-install>/conf/wrapper.conf file and will not be possible to change the temporary directory directly through the wrapper.conf file as explained in the document how-to-configure-temporary-directory-in-bamboo-remote-agent. If you are running remote agents on the FreeBSD OS server and you see a wrapper.conf file under <remote-agent-install>/conf directory, you can change the temporary directory by following the steps mentioned in the document how-to-configure-temporary-directory-in-bamboo-remote-agent. And in case there is no <remote-agent-install>/conf/wrapper.conf file created on your remote agent, you can follow the below steps mentioned in this document under the solution section.
Environment
Applicable to remote agents running on FreeBSD 11 OS server on all supported versions of Bamboo.
Solution
Please follow the below steps to change the temporary directory for a Bamboo remote agent running on the FreeBSD OS server:
Stop the remote agent.
Start the remote agent now with below command:
1$Java_Home_Path -Dbamboo.home=<Bamboo-agent-home> -Dwrapper.java.additional.X="Djava.io.tmpdir=<Temp_directory_path>" -jar <Bamboo-agent-home>/lib/bamboo-agent-bootstrap.jar <Bamboo-Base_URL>/agentServer/ℹ️ Replace <Temp_directory_path> with the temporary directory path you want set on remote agent
ℹ️ Replace <Bamboo-Base_URL> with your Bamboo base url
ℹ️ Replace $Java_home_path with Java home path which remote agent server is installed
ℹ️ Replace "X" value in the "-Dwrapper.java.additional.X" parameter with the next number following the sequence
ℹ️ Replace <Bamboo-agent-home> with the Bamboo agent home path
For example:
1/usr/local/openjdk8/jre/bin/java -Dbamboo.home=/var/atlassian/application-data/bamboo-agent/ -Dwrapper.java.additional.4="Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/atlassian/application-data/bamboo-agent/tmp" -jar /var/atlassian/application-data/bamboo-agent1/lib/bamboo-agent-bootstrap.jar https://linux-37467.prod.atl-cd.net/bamboo/agentServer/It would set the temporary path successfully on the remote agent. You can double-check if the parameter has been picked up by Bamboo by going to Bamboo Overview >Agents > Click on the particular agent > System Properties and looking for it in the Bamboo Paths section:
