Confluence Space specific virtual hosts and subdomains

[Andrea Vivaldi]

Hi,
I was wondering if there is the possibility to have separate name-based virtual host (and relative subdomains) based on spaces in Confluence.
I've seen this add-on: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1210718/domain-booster?hosting=server&tab=overview. Is this plugin actively under support? (I have some doubts)
By the way, is not suitable for Data Center installation, therefor I'm asking if there is any alternative.
Maybe I can implement such functionality with a Nginx reverse-proxy? Is that a supported solution?

What do you suggest?

Thanks,

Andrea

Hello there!

Andrea, you are right when you said that the linked addon is not developed with Data Center in mind. It is, however, maintained by the vendor. It's latest release is compatible with Connie 6.15.3!

Further down your question you asked if "Maybe I can implement such functionality with a Nginx reverse-proxy?". Yes you surely can create proxy rules to implement some kind of "mask" for the users when accessing Confluence.

The solution is completely unsupported though, Atlassian side.

You could implement some rules based on requested address so users are redirected for a specific space. You could start by taking a look into NGINX documentation here:

Creating NGINX rewrite rules

We also have documentation on running Connie with a reverse proxy:
