Using Confluence with a Web Proxy

Alec Keeler

We have a web proxy configured for servers to gain access to the internet for updates etc

This works fine for gaining access to python pip updates, jenkins plugins, docker containers etc.

Just started trialling Confluence and noticed that my Confluence (running in a container) can't see the Atlassian Marketplace

Now it probably needs the web proxy configuring but when I google how to do this it looks like there is no way of doing this from within confluence itself and starts talking about modifying config file

Is this expected ? In Jenkins its part of the normal admin configuration pages, https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/JenkinsBehindProxy

Is there really no way of doing this simple config from within Confluence itself?

Wondering if I missed something ?

Confluence is a web-application that runs on an application-server (Tomcat).  It doesn't handle its own infrastructural stuff like network connections, it just asks Tomcat.  Jenkins is a totally different architecture (a much simpler one that doesn't suit Confluence).

So, you don't configure Confluence for proxies, you configure Tomcat for it, via the Java virtual machine.  See https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/configuring-web-proxy-support-for-confluence-117068.html
