Nginx ProxyPass for RunDeck 3.3.10

RunDeck’s web GUI always run on port 4440. If we want to make it run on 80 then we need to do a custom installation. Since that’ll be a long process and its not applicable for existing RunDeck servers. In this blog, we are configuring nginx proxypass for Rundeck to make RunDeck web access on port 80.

Install Nginx

Case you are using RHEL or CentOS you can use the command bellow:

yum install nginx -y 
of
dnf install nginx -y

Configure ProxyPass:

Create a new config file on /etc/nginx/conf.d/

vim /etc/nginx/conf.d/rundeck.conf

 server {
     listen 80;
     server_name myhost;
  
  
     error_log   /var/log/nginx/rundeck.error.log;
     access_log  /var/log/nginx/rundeck.access.log;
  
      location / {
      proxy_ignore_client_abort on;
      proxy_pass http://localhost:4440;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host:$server_port;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-server $host;
      proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

    }
  }

Change the Server URL in runeck config file:

Edit the rundeck-config.properties file.

vim /etc/rundeck/rundeck-config.properties

grails.serverURL=http://myhost:80

Restart RunDeck & Nginx

systemctl restart nginx ; systemctl restart rundeckd
