Jira and Bitbucket on port 80/443 same server

[Ryan Tarson]

So I have a server that I want to load both Jira and Bitbucket both are strictly running just apps. I have another server that is serving as the database server.

I want to know if it is possible on ubuntu 18.04 to load both JIRA and Bitbucket on the same server but also running the same port numbers?

Hi Ryan,

You can't assign the same port to two different applications. You will end up with the port already in use issue. The best way is to use some web server or reverse proxy as front-ended to your applications. All your incoming calls will be first routed to this web server or reverse proxy (running on either port 80 or 443) and from there those requested will be routed or proxied to either JIRA or Bitbucket on their respective ports backend(Ex: 8080 for JIRA and 7990 for Bitbucket).

You must also create DNS record for each application and that should point to this front ended web server or reverse proxy.
