A 503 error means that Jira tried to reach your Fisheye/Crucible, and was successful in the sense that something responded with "I'm here", but it got no further, Fisheye/Crucible did not respond further.

This means that either Fisheye/Crucible has failed (check the service is running) or that it is running on a service that is not set up to be fully accessible to the internet (which is where Jira Cloud is running from)

A very quick test - can you get to Fisheye Crucible on your computer, and see if that 503s.  If it works ok, then try exactly the same url from an address outside your network - go to a coffee shop or internet cafe, or shared workspace and try to log into it (without using any VPNs)

Crucible is running on my computer and the url i am accessing for crucible is localhost.  There is no error on 503 when i try to access cruible alone. The jira is not behind vpn or anything nor is crucible. I thought it might be firewall issue.  I have also added rule to firewall. That did not help either.

Localhost means "this computer", you can't get to it from a remote computer.

You will need to turn your local installation into a server, and put it somewhere that Atlassian Cloud can access it.

You can do this with your current machine if you want, "server" just means "computer that runs a service for other computers to talk to" in this answer.  To do that, you will need to

• Work out what your current external IP address or domain name is
• Make sure the outside world can see it on the internet
• Route incoming connections to your Fisheye/Crucible server
• Run your Fisheye/Crucible on the external IP address or domain name (change the base url)

As an example, I run some Atlassian stuff at home.

• My home has a router, and the internet knows the IP for it, so when I'm away from home, I can use that IP address to connect to my router.
• My router knows to pass all inbound HTTPS traffic to a machine that is running a proxying web server.
• My web server proxies my Atlassian from their servers (running on other machines) to relevant URLs, so that I can say:

https://<my home ip address>/jira 

https://<my home ip address>/confluence

and so-on
