How do I configure Confluence in Docker behind HA Proxy?

David Bond

After install, and configuring Docker environment variables, the following are working:

• Basic UI
• Connection to Jira for user management

However, there is a box top right on EVERY page:

--

Tomcat config is incorrect

The Tomcat server.xml has an incorrect configuration:

scheme should be 'https'
proxyName should be 'confluence.<MYDOMAIN>.com'
proxyPort should be '443'

--

There is NO WAY to set scheme via environment variables, as far as I can tell.  The other two are configured correctly, I believe.

My docker.compose's .env file contains:

ATL_JDBC_URL=jdbc:postgresql://POSTGRES_SERVER_REDACTED:5432/confluence
ATL_JDBC_USER=POSTGRES_USERNAME_REDACTED
ATL_JDBC_PASSWORD=POSTGRES_PASSWORD_REDACTED
ATL_DB_TYPE=postgresql

ATL_PROXY_NAME=confluence.<MYDOMAIN>.com
ATL_PROXY_PORT=443
ATL_TOMCAT_PORT=8090

To answer my own question:

Your .env file should look like this:

ATL_JDBC_URL=jdbc:postgresql://POSTGRES_SERVER_REDACTED:5432/confluence
ATL_JDBC_USER=POSTGRES_USERNAME_REDACTED
ATL_JDBC_PASSWORD=POSTGRES_PASSWORD_REDACTED
ATL_DB_TYPE=postgresql

ATL_PROXY_NAME=confluence.<MYDOMAIN>.com
ATL_PROXY_PORT=443
ATL_TOMCAT_PORT=8090
ATL_TOMCAT_SCHEME=https
ATL_TOMCAT_SECURE=false

Note the last two lines.

Hope this helps someone!
