Hi,
I´ve setup a external server (freeBSD) and installed nginx there to proxy all traffic for confluence.domain.tld to atlassian.domain.tld:8090/confluence. And this doensn´t work :(
Context-path is setup according to this how-to:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-change-the-confluence-context-path-707985922.html
And that works great :)
Now nginx comes into play. I configured ist like this:
But nginx passes nothing to the given address. All that I receive is the hello-Page from nginx.
This is the config i used:
server {
listen 80;
server_name confluence.domain.tld
client_max_body 100m;
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://atlassian.domain.tld:8090/confluence;
DNS Record are working. Any ideas?
If you set up the context path /confluence the location in NGINX needs to be location /confluence.
If you are using 6.x or above you will need a proxy location directive for Synchrony as well, to support collaborative editing. Here is the example from the guide you linked, please compare to your configuration to find any discrepancies: How to use NGINX to proxy requests for Confluence
server {
listen www.example.com:80;
server_name www.example.com;
location /confluence {
client_max_body_size 100m;
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://localhost:8090/confluence;
}
location /synchrony {
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://localhost:8091/synchrony;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
}
Hi Ann,
thanks for your reply. I can´t find any detailed instructions for setting up synchrony's contextpath.
In the Guide I can find the following statement:
For Confluence 6.0 or later we also need to include Synchrony, the service that powers collaborative editing, which listens on port 8091 with the context path /synchrony.
But where do I configure synchrony? Where is the installation Path of it?
I am sorry to hear that the proxy isn't directing requests as expected.
Synchrony already has the context path /synchrony and port 8091. It is installed with Confluence 6.x or during an upgrade to 6.x or higher.
Please post your new nginx config, in case I can spot something that would explain the issue.
OK, I understand Synchrony and its context path - thanks.
Here is my nginx.conf that should proxy "confluence.domain.de" to "atlassian.domain.de:8090/confluence"
worker_processes 4;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 768;
}
http {
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
tcp_nodelay on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
types_hash_max_size 2048;
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
server {
listen webproxy.domain.de:80;
server_name webproxy.domain.de;
root /usr/local/www/nginx;
index index.html index.htm;
location / {
try_files $uri &uri/ /index.html;
}
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name confluence.domain.de
client_max_body 100m;
location /confluence {
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://atlassian.domain.de:8090;
}
location /synchrony {
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://atlassian.domain:8091/synchrony;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
}
}
}
DNS-Records for both, the origin and target adress are set and can be resolved by the machine that runs nginx
I am not an nginx expert but I did see something that may be an issue. The example config uses the context path on the proxy_pass parameter, where yours doesn't:
Example:
proxy_pass http://localhost:8090/confluence;
Your config:
proxy_pass http://atlassian.domain.de:8090;
Please try with the context path on the proxy_pass line and let me know what happens.
A colleague with more nginx experience suggests that you try with one server block:
http { sendfile on; tcp_nopush on; tcp_nodelay on; keepalive_timeout 65; types_hash_max_size 2048; include mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream; access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log; server { listen 80; server_name confluence.domain.de client_max_body 100m; location /confluence { 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://atlassian.domain.de:8090/confluence; } location /synchrony { 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://atlassian.domain:8091/synchrony; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade"; } } }
Another colleague suggested we check the proxy logs as they may give us a better hint.
I look forward to hearing how it works with one server block as well as anything you find in the nginx logs.
