Connecting confluence to Postgres database error
Asked by Ranga vittal:

Have hosted Confluence on Docker container and Postgres on another container. Both the containers are up and running. When I try to test the connection it says '

**Can't reach database server or port**

SQLState - 08001  
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: The connection attempt failed.'  

The IP address is correctly entered

<br />

I have exposed port 5432

Anything that I have missed?

i have the same issue\~

there is no problem for my jira, bitbucket jira service desk to connect the postgres.

i'm using the postgres paas service on Azure cloud.


author: Rafael Pinto Sperafico
body: Hi [@Ranga vittal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2586893) ,

Are you running Confluence and Postgres from the same Docker, meaning that they are on the same box session? If so, Confluence should be able to connect to PostgreSQL when providing its container's name.

As a suggestion, you could create a Network in docker so you do not face issues of getting a different IP every time your containers are started. Without a static IP, when starting a container, you may get a different IP address depending on the order of events.

```
# create a Docker network
docker network create \
--driver bridge \
--subnet=10.10.0.0/16 \
myNetwork
```

For PostgreSQL and Confluence you could do the following:

```
# create a PostgreSQL docker container
docker run -d \
--restart=unless-stopped \
--network myNetwork \
--ip 10.10.1.2 \
--name postgres96 \
--hostname postgres \
-p 5432:5432 \
-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword \
-e PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata \
-v /path/postgres/9.6:/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata \
-d postgres:9.6
```

```
# create a Confluence docker container
docker run -d --init \
--network myNetwork \
--ip 10.10.2.2 \
--name confluence667 \
--hostname confluence \
-p 8090:8090 \
-v /path/confluence/6.6.7:/var/atlassian/application-data/confluence \
atlassian/confluence-server:6.6.7
```

Then connect Confluence by providing the PostgreSQL **name** parameter (e.g *postgres96*)

```
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">
jdbc:postgresql://postgres96:5432/confluence667
</property>
```

Hope the above helps.

Kind regards,  
Rafael

Atlassian Access + Confluence + Jira Price
Asked by Saul Andrade:

Hello!

We currently have 62 users on Jira + Confluence, we would like to add Atlassian Access, and in the website we see that the price having this 3 platforms is 15$ per user, does this still apply for our company even if we have only 62 users instead of 100?

If the previous is true, does that mean that we would only pay 15$ per user to use all 3 platforms?

Thank you in advance!


Answers:
author: Alexis Robert
body: Hi [@Saul Andrade](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1419094) ,

Atlassian Access price is the same whether you connect 1 or 5 applications to it, it's an additional cost on top of your Jira and Confluence licences.

For you, the price would be 3$ per user per month, so 186$ total per month.

Let me know if you have any questions,

--Alexis

comments: author: Saul Andrade
body: Thank you Alexis for the answer,

I was confused because I read this documentation about a package or combo when you have Jira + Confluence + Access, but maybe I misunderstood this

<https://www.atlassian.com/enterprise/cloud/access>

author: Alexis Robert
body: Hi [@Saul Andrade](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1419094) ,

actually this is the same: you current Jira + Confluence subscription is 12$ (7$ + 5$), if you add Access at 3$ it's a total of 15$ (as long as you have a maximum of 100 users).

So you don't have any discount really, the documentation only provides examples by adding all the different subscriptions.

How to see all actions assigned to me in Confluence?
Asked by Simon Shaw:

I would like to be able to see all actions assigned to me, across Confluence.

I thought I would be able to see this via my profile but I don't see a "My tasks" heading or similar.

Anyone know how to do this?


Answers:
author: Thomas Bowskill
body: Hi [@Simon Shaw](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1258771)

Top right -- click your user profile and there should be a dropdown for Tasks.

You can use the [Task Report macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/task-report-macro-590260009.html) to do this onl pages of yours and set it to look at tasks assigned to you in all spaces

Hope that helps


author: Irina_Bel_Stiltsoft_
body: I would like to share the experience of our users that perceive [Talk - Advanced Inline Comments](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/978531/talk-advanced-inline-comments?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview)as tasks. When they mention somebody in the comments (it can be multiple team members), that means this task is assigned to these employees. Every user can build [Talk Report](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/Talk/Talk+Report), then to overview 'tasks' that are unresolved and where they've been mentioned. They can easily switch to the comment by clicking on the link in the Page column. When a task is done, they can resolve it or archive it on the page to refer to it later. Talk Report includes the following information:

body: Hi [@Simon Shaw](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1258771)

You said, you already found the "My Tasks" site, wher you see all of your tasks. Unfortunately, you do not see anything there.

My opinion is, that you really do not have any tasks assigned to you. For an assigned task, you have to use the task option in the editor and with the character "@" assigne the task to you. Only after you have done all this, you should be able to see the task in your list.

Create a task which has to be done by different people
Asked by kaempfr:

Hi!

We are using Confluence Server 6.12.1 and I'm trying to set up a space for our team.

I've already noticed that it is not possible to assign a task to more than one user in confluence, so that it shown in multiple task reports. Not what I expect from confluence but I can live with that.

But we often have tasks which have be done by different people individually. For example, every team member has to hand in a weekly report every friday afternoon. At the moment I have to create the same task for each member, which is a bit tedious. And if I don't assign anyone to the task, the task is shown on our space page which is visible for everbody, but as soon as some select it as "done" it's also gone for everbody. So this also not an elegant solution in my eyes.

Can anybody help me with this, or does anybody know a suitable macros?

Thanks in advance!


Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@kaempfr](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2883228)

I tried to assign multiple users to one task. You can name multiple users, but it will just show to the first user named in the task.

I think, you have to copy paste the tasks and assign it to every user manually.

A suitable solution for tasks would be JIRA :)

comments: author: kaempfr
body: Thanks for your quick answer. The problem with multiple user assignment is already known and there are a lot of threads about that.

Yeah, sounds like JIRA would be a solution. But unfortunately its not planned to get JIRA. So I will still searching a solution for confluence.

Confluence Runs better on Linux or Windows
Asked by Ajay Sharma:

Hi Everyone,

Please let me know.

I need to install Confluence Production version for 1 of our Clients.

i want to know what things i should implement, so that Confluence and JIRA should run with Best Performance.

Thanks In Advance.

Answers:

body: Yes Bill,

I agree with you. I am also more comfortable with Linux. I need to ask my clients, in which OS they would be comfortable.

Also before installation at client premises, what things we should ask the client or inform them.

Thanks Buddy. Sorry for another question, if U get time, then Reply. ?


author: Bill Bailey
body: One thing I would add is that the administration tasks are easier when it is installed on Linux. If you need *remote* access to the OS (say to restart Confluence), you can just SSH into the server, a couple of keystrokes -- boom, done.

Now the same tasks with a Windows based server? A lot more overhead.

I would also posit that Linux is more secure than Windows.

Installation of Confluence on a managed server
Asked by Edward Neal:

Hi,

I have a question concerning the possibility to install Confluence on a managed server

I tried to install Confluence on a managed server that I rented and where I do not have root rights and there is also no Java running on it. A database is included. As far as I could figure it out, it might not be possible to run Confluence in this environment. Am I right?

Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

Elmar


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Edward,

Confluence runs on Java, but we include a JRE that you can use to run Confluence. Have a look at [System Requirements](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/system-requirements-126517514.html) for more details.

The minimum hardware requirements you won't likely find on a shared server, so here they are so you can compare:

* [Confluence Minimum Server Hardware Requirements](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/server-hardware-requirements-guide-30736403.html)

<!-- -->

* **CPU:** Quad core 2GHz+ CPU
* **RAM:** 6GB
* **Minimum database space:**10GB

In addition, you will want to be able to have access to the filesystem, because this is how you can check your Confluence server logs. You will also need it for various maintenance such as manual re-indexing, cache clearing, etc.

As for your database, not all database versions are supported, so it's important to verify if the included one is the type you need. You can find out this information from our [Supported Platforms](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/supported-platforms-207488198.html) page. There are a few things to consider besides the database version. For example, if MySQL is the database that's included, then you will also need to manually install the driver. Note that there is an embedded H2 database in Confluence you can use for testing, but it should never be used on a production Confluence instance.

For more details about your database configuration:

* [Database Configuration](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/database-configuration-159764.html)

Let me know if you have any questions about this.

Regards,

Shannon

body: Thank you very much for your detailed help, Shannon.


author: Shannon S
body: Edward,

You're welcome! Another thing I wanted to mention - to start and stop Confluence you will also need access to the command line on your server.

Take care,

How to configure REST API traffic and send it to a dedicated node (or a set of nodes) that only hand
Asked by Jagadeesh Yerramchetty:

we have scenario to implement Traffic distribution with Confluence Data Center.

we are using haproxy is a load balance, want to Split REST API \& Web traffic for Confluence DC .

I have 4 nodes and I want to route REST API queries to node number 3. I tried to implemet It , but it's not working.

Example:

If referrer == app.yourdomain.com and the request \~ /rest:  
Direct traffic to Node 1 or Node 2 or Node 3 //normal traffic

If referrer != app.yourdomain.com and the request \~ /rest:  
If the page requested == /login.jsp:  
Direct traffic to Node 1 or Node 2 or Node 3 //normal traffic  
Else:  
Direct to Node 4 //external REST API traffic

for the above example i am unable to implement this in our haproxy.cfg file. what is referrer... and other things.

Please share any details, instructions, or examples for how you'd implement this.


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there! This request is quite different, first time I have seen it.

You should be able to redirect your traffic by using rules in your haproxy. Much like what is described here in this **Stackoverflow - Serverfault** post:

**[How can I make haproxy route requests based on URL substrings?](https://serverfault.com/questions/306968/how-can-i-make-haproxy-route-requests-based-on-url-substrings)**

Also, this should also work if you send the request directly to the node's IP with the curl, for example. However, if your balancer is set to work on any request to any of your node's IPs this approach may not work.

Jagadeesh, let us know your results! Looking forward to your reply.

Can I change the height of a section, so it wraps the text?
Asked by Tamsin Stirling:

Hello! I don't know the first thing about coding but we use Confluence for our internal intranet. I'm currently in the process of updating this and trying to get my head around the programme! When you insert a section in page layout and choose the 3 column option, is there anyway to wrap the text so the column is only as long as the content in it? I'm finding if there is more content in one box than the other, all 3 columns are long. Is there any way to make the other 2 shorter, so you can add additional sections beneath them? It don't have enough content to fill the other 2 boxes. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you.


Answers:
author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Hi Tamsin,

I'm pretty sure that you can't achieve that with the built-in features of the editor as the whole page layout features is not meant to be that flexible but more about providing an easy to use way to structure your content. So each section is like a closed part in itself and won't mix with a previous or following one. More advanced and appealing page layouts always need some additional apps for Confluence and often a bit of familiarity with HTML/CSS.

Best, Max

Trouble on using emoticons
Asked by Order FHE3:

Hi,

we hit a bug with using 'warning' emoticon. On creating page with inly this emoticon, we get following:

\<p\>\<img class="emoticon emoticon-warning" src="/s/en_GB/7901/9eed016aaa593220cd98620fec88bcbd9fd55893/_/images/icons/emoticons/warning.svg" data-emoticon-name="warning" alt="(warning)" /\>\</p\>

and everything works as expected. If we add some text, confluence use another src for the Image (http!) an breaks https:

\<p\>Add some text \<img class="emoticon emoticon-warning" title="(warning)" src="<http://docs-test.fhe3.com/s/en_GB/7901/9eed016aaa593220cd98620fec88bcbd9fd55893/_/images/icons/emoticons/warning.svg>" alt="(warning)" border="0"/\>\</p\>

This happens with all emoticons on same way.


Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: There is something strange going on with emoticons that changed some time in the early 6.x releases. If you insert an emoticon, and the look a the source (using the source editor), you see the this (expected).

```
<ac:emoticon ac:name="tick"/>
```

You then save/updated the page, the resulting HTML is (not the relative URL):

```
<img class="emoticon emoticon-tick" src="/s/en_GB/7202/6c904e4f5a39c86e66c532a52dd1b974dafdf733/_/images/icons/emoticons/check.png" data-emoticon-name="tick" alt="(tick)">
```

Now if you edit the page again, and then look at the source, the emoticon instance has changed to be an image.

```
<img alt="(tick)" border="0" class="emoticon emoticon-tick" src="http://dev.confluence.marketcomllc.com:8099/s/en_GB/7202/6c904e4f5a39c86e66c532a52dd1b974dafdf733/_/images/icons/emoticons/check.png" title="(tick)"/>
```

And the resulting HTML when viewed (not the full path on both)

```
<img class="emoticon emoticon-tick" title="(tick)" src="http://dev.confluence.marketcomllc.com:8099/s/en_GB/7202/6c904e4f5a39c86e66c532a52dd1b974dafdf733/_/images/icons/emoticons/check.png" alt="(tick)" border="0">

Confluence links with custom URI handlers are removed
Asked by Alexandr Marchenko:

In a confluence editor I did added a link pointing slack:user?id=1\&team_id=2 which is catched by slack and opens chat with desired person

But after publishing document I do see link with href being removed and rel nofollow attribute

Also I have noticed that tel and mailto are working


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there! Thanks for sharing with us Alexandr.

As of today, Confluence Cloud does not support linking with custom URL protocols. We have a Suggestion about this feature here:

**[Ability to insert custom (non-standard) URL protocols](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-65866 "Ability to insert custom (non-standard) URL protocols")**

Currently the suggestion is marked as open. So voting and watching it is a good idea! Voting increases the suggestion visibility and watching will keep you up to date. Further, could you tell us how this feature would impact your instance? Are those types of links used frequently? I would like to understand a bit more about your environment!

Edit: I raised a new suggestion, since the old one was even before the split between Confluence Server and Cloud.

body: Hello thank for a ticket I did subscribet and voted for it, hope to see it somewhere in future

As about use cases: just imagine for example confluence page with team members where there is a skype links which will open skype and start call

Or for example slack channels list with their descriptions where every channel name is a link pointing to slack and will open this channel immediatelly for you

And so on, I bed that there is huge amount of other use cases for this, yes it does not used so heavely but still might be very useful
