Synchrony setup for confluence

Swetha Bammidi_5t6kbj

Hi,

We have Cloud data center setup for confluence and there are 2 nodes - Node 1 and Node 2

And we are configuring synchrony in separate node (Standalone node) as per this https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/configuring-synchrony-for-data-center-858772125.html

There is no reverse proxy configured in Confluence nodes(Node 1 and Node2)

And all the ip's are public ip's (i think no need to add them in /etc/hosts in all the nodes)

Below are my questions related to this configuration:

1. In confluence node (Node 1) there is one directory called Synchrony. Do we have to add parameters(Server URL, database URL, Database User, Database password, Driver Path, Jar path etc. as in synchrony node setup) in start-synchrony.sh file?

2. How the confluence node(Node 1) would know about synchrony node?

Can you please help me in setting up synchrony?

Hi,

 You mentioned

There is no reverse proxy configured in Confluence nodes(Node 1 and Node2)

This won't work in Data Centre as you need to set up session affinity so users go back to the same node for each request. Round robin DNS won't work, like it would for a simple page serving website.

As for Synchrony, you only need to configure and run the start-synchrony.sh script on the node running Synchrony.

Once you've got Synchrony up and running, go back to

• Installing Confluence Data Center -> 3. Start Confluence on Node 1

and then configure in Confluence the -Dsynchrony.service.url in setenv.sh.
