Jira instance behind nginx - few resources still using localhost

Mubin Ahmed

Hi,

I have setup Jira server with Nginx proxying. A custom subdomain is configured with forwarding to the local instance of Jira. Here is the configuration that I use in nginx:

 

server {
 server_name mysubdomain.mydomain.com
 location / {
 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_pass http://127.0.0.1:5555;
 }
 }

 

Almost everything works fine. However, there are some resources that are still loaded from 127.0.0.1 instead of the server_name, and due to that it doesn't load them. For example, below 3 resources are always pointing to 127.0.0.1:

1. projectavatar.svg

2. useravatar.svg

3. http://127.0.0.1:5555/images/icons/priorities/medium.svg

4. http://127.0.0.1:5555/images/icons/issuetypes/story.svg

5. The last step while connecting Jira to Bitbucket

Is the nginx configuration that I use missing something?

Has anybody experienced it as well?

 

Thanks,

Mubin

Hello,

The standard nginx config should specify the jira host in the proxy_pass, such as in the example from the documentation:

 

server {
    listen www.atlassian.com:80;
    server_name www.atlassian.com;
    location /jira {
        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_pass http://jira-hostname:8080/jira;
        client_max_body_size 10M;
    }
}

 Can you also verify if the Tomcat's context path and connector configuration has been updated?
