Routing from domain name to IP:port

Routing from domain name to IP:port

Hi

I have setup a confluence server, and my users have to log in at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8090, wich is not easy to remember

I have a domain name "mydomain.org", and I would like "wiki.mydomain.org" to redirect my users to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8090 (they don't need to know about it).

I changed my DNS record so it goes to the right IP address, but how do add the right port?

Thanks!

Hi @Solène Merer,

DNS doesn't provide forwarding to port numbers.

You can setup a web server on the Confluence server that redirects 80 to 8090.

For example Apache:

Proxying Atlassian server applications with Apache HTTP Server (mod_proxy_http)

Thank you for your quick help

I'd rather not install anything more than Confluence.

Maybe iptables could be the solution?
