NGINX Reverse Proxy keeps giving 504 error

[Luna]

I tried to set up Bitbucket Server, and I successfully did. However, when I tried to put it behind an Nginx reverse proxy, I kept getting a 504 Gateway Time-out error.

My bitbucket.properties file:

server.port=7990
server.secure=true
server.scheme=https
server.proxy-name=code.example.com
server.context-path=/
server.proxy-port=443

My Nginx conf file:

server {
    server_name code.example.com
    listen 80;

    location / {
        proxy_pass          http://localhost:7990;
        proxy_set_header    X-Forwarded-Host $host;
        proxy_set_header    X-Forwarded-Server $host;
        proxy_set_header    X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header    X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_redirect      off;
    }
}

Would anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

Hi Luna,

My hunch is that nginx is being redirected by Bitbucket Server and thus fails.

Try changing the bitbucket.properties file as follows:

server.secure=false

server.scheme=http

server.proxy-port:80

This is based on the fact that there seems to be no SSL configuration in your nginx config and thus it won't listen on port 443.

Restart Bitbucket Server and see if that helps.
