How to configure proxy for bitbucket data center version 7.21?

[Pedro Henrique de Brito Agnes]

We installed bitbucket data center with only one node so far on our server. This server has no access to the internet, so we need to configure a proxy for it so we can setup jira cloud integration.

The problem is that we are unable to do so, we tried to set the java opts listed at https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserverkb/how-to-configure-an-outbound-http-and-https-proxy-for-bitbucket-server-779171680.html on many different files, but all without success.

For reference, we are starting the application on a linux server by executing the file <bitbucket installation directory>/bin/start-bitbucket.sh

I managed to configure it in a way that does't seem ideal, but it works and I will leave a comment here to possibly help anyone that may face the same problem.

Basically, I set the params listed at the documentation on the file _start-webapp.sh in the variable JAVA_OPTS. The only problem I see is that if we upgrade our bitbucket version, it may have to be set again.
