How to proxy Confluence Cloud from my own domain

Brendan Wyse

I am attempting to host my Confluence Cloud site on my own domain by following the instructions at https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/proxying-atlassian-server-applications-753894340.html#ProxyingAtlassianServerapplications-reversehttp

 

I can see that most of the requests are proxying fine but some have XSRF failures.

 

I know that I cannot change the Base URL within Confluence itself because that is not allowed on Confluence Cloud. I believe that would resolve the issue. Is there some other workaround for this by adding something to the Apache config?

 

Current config is as shown:

<VirtualHost *:80>
 ServerName mydomain.ie
 ServerAlias *.mydomain.ie

SSLProxyEngine on

RemoteIPHeader X-Forwarded-For

ProxyRequests Off
 ProxyVia Off

<Proxy *>
 Require all granted
 </Proxy>

ProxyPass / https://mysite.atlassian.net/
 ProxyPassReverse / https://mysite.atlassian.net/
</VirtualHost>

For a proxy to work properly with Confluence, the Tomcat running it needs to be configured to understand that it is behind a proxy and you need to change the base url to match the proxy.

You can not do either of those things with a Cloud system.
