bitbucket and nginx reverse proxy

[jagauthier]

Greetings,

 I've followed many of the instructions here, but my BB reverse proxy doesn't seem to work correctly.  All of my other (similar) hosts work fine, but BB won't redirect correctly.

server {
   server_name bitbucket.domain.here;
   proxy_read_timeout 600s;
   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://bitbucket:7990;
      proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
      port_in_redirect off;
      proxy_redirect off;
   }
}

In many cases it immediately reverts to http://bitbucket:7990

In some other cases it seemingly works, but clicking in "Bitbucket" logo in the upper left points to "http://bitbucket:7990"

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Configuring a reverse proxy also requires some changes on the Bitbucket Server side, including a change of the Base URL in the server settings - did you adjust that accordingly?

What's more, you'll also need to tell Bitbucket Server about the fact that there is a reverse proxy - see https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/securing-bitbucket-server-behind-nginx-using-ssl-776640112.html (under Step 1) for the required configuration to be added.
