Confluence NGINX Proxy SSL

[Karl Bateman]

Hello All,

I just wondered if anyone could provide a simple guide for setting up confluence to run with an NGINX reverse proxy. Either NGINX accepting SSL connections and sending them to confluence as http or https.

Regards,

Karl

Assuming you already has Confluence and nginx working, and you just need to connect them:

confluence initial URL:  http://my.server.info:8090

you want to use:  https://my.server.info/wiki

on confluence server.xml file:

        <Connector port="8090" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443"
                maxThreads="200" minSpareThreads="10"
                enableLookups="false" acceptCount="10" debug="0" URIEncoding="UTF-8"
                proxyName="my.server.info" proxyPort="80"
               ...

                <Context path="/wiki" docBase="../confluence" debug="0" reloadable="true">

...

on /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default:

server {
    ...
    listen 443 ssl;
    ...
    server_name my.server.info;
    ...
    ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/apache.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/apache.key;
    ...
    location /wiki {
        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/wiki;
    }
...
}

Restart Confluence; then, restart nginx, and give it a try.

Not the Confluence documentation but similar (https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/STASH/Securing+Stash+behind+nginx+using+SSL).
