Jira and Confluence server on the same https port 8443?

[Olle Wessel]

Hi, I am looking at installing Jira and Confluence on the same server, and to install the applications with https. However in the documentation it says that both applications have 8443 as the default https port. Is this possible when both applications run on the same server?

Hello,

It is possible to configure Jira and Confluence on the same server but you have to provide different ports for Jira and Confluence. You can make these changes in server.xml file.

@Olle WesselYes  you  can  run application  on  same server. At first once you  have installed Jira/confluence it will  run via HTTP at some port,  then you  will  need to  use (nginx or apache) reverse proxy  to  run  both  instance via  HTTPs.

Best!

Hi there... First of all I would avoid if possible to have both on the same machine... There is a variety of reasons (multiple tomcats, apps availability, JVM resource consumption, etc.) to have JIRA and Confluence separated, and of course You CAN have them on the same server, but if possible - healthier would be separate machines... even smaller instances with weaker architecture, but still - separate...

Still with one server - https will be a challenge if possible at all. You would need to redirect one of apps traffic via ssl to different port. But then it is about Apache - if it will serve 2 diff ports for SSL? (And I not enough experienced with Apache to answer that) plus manually create whole routing configuration and apply to both JIRA and Confluence.

Unfortunately I have to keep both applications on the same server. And we are also planning to put Bitbucket on the same server.

So the short way forward is, configure Apache to reverse proxy for all three applications on https, and then update the server.xml file in the three applications? 

And just to be clear, one Apache instance on the server will handle all three applications?

Make sure you have a server capable of supporting all three at the same time - you do need something quite powerful for all but the smallest of installs of the stack.

Yes, your way to configure them there is correct, and the Apache can handle all three easily (I'm looking at an Apache handling around 40 applications right now, including the Atlassian ones)

Thank you, yes we will have to monitor the server. Just waiting for the server to arrive now :-)
