Confluence Data Center Toolkit

The Confluence Data Center Tools Suite is a local deployment toolkit designed for plugin developers, QA engineers, and Confluence admins. It simplifies and accelerates the setup of local Confluence Data Center clusters using Docker and provides tools to manage instances, and perform common admin tasks—all through a set of scripts.
