Rundeck behind web proxy - rundeck

Question

I am setting up Rundeck internally for myself to test.
I currently an attempting to access the Official repositories for plugins however I know for a fact the server has no internet connection.
I see nowhere in the documentation for instructions on how to apply the webproxy to the rundeck application.
Has anyone done this before?
EDIT
The Server is a RHEL8 machine.
I am not referring to using a reverse proxy.
** FOUND ANSWER **
After a couple of days of searching:
If you are using a server that is disconnected from the internet
Have an internal proxy to route external traffic
Using the RHEL package of rundeck
Solution
edit your /etc/sysconfig/rundeckd file
paste custom RDECK_JVM_SETTINGS at the end of the file
RDECK_JVM_SETTINGS="${RDECK_JVM_SETTINGS:- -Xmx1024m -Xms256m -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=256m -server -Dhttp.proxySet=true -Dhttp.proxyHost=server -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttps.proxySet=true -Dhttps.proxyHost=server -Dhttps.proxyPort=80 -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=*.place.com }"

You can test it quickly using Docker Compose.
The idea is to put the NGINX container in front of the Rundeck container.
/your/path/docker-compose.yml content:
version: "3.7"
services:
rundeck:
build:
context: .
args:
IMAGE: ${RUNDECK_IMAGE:-rundeck/rundeck:3.3.10}
container_name: rundeck-nginx
ports:
- 4440:4440
environment:
RUNDECK_GRAILS_URL: http://localhost
RUNDECK_SERVER_FORWARDED: "true"
nginx:
image: nginx:alpine
volumes:
- ./config/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:ro
ports:
- 80:80
/your/path/Dockerfile content:
ARG IMAGE
FROM ${IMAGE}
If you check the volumes block you need a specific NGINX configuration at /config path:
/your/path/config/nginx.conf content:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
server_name rundeck-cl;
location / {
# get the rundeck internal address/port
proxy_pass http://rundeck:4440;
}
}
To build:
docker-compose build
To run:
docker-compose up
To see your Rundeck instance:
Open your browser and put localhost, you can see Rundeck behind the NGINX proxy server.
Edit: I leave an example using NGINX on CENTOS/RHEL
1- Install Rundeck via YUM on Rundeck Server.
2- Install NGINX via YUM, just do sudo yum -y install nginx (if you like, you can do this in the same Rundeck server or just in another one).
3- NGINX side. Go to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and add the following block inside server section:
location /rundeck {
proxy_pass http://your-rundeck-host:4440;
}
Save the file.
4- RUNDECK side. Create a new file at /etc/sysconfig path named rundeckd with the following content:
RDECK_JVM_OPTS="-Dserver.web.context=/rundeck"
Give permissions to rundeck user: chown rundeck:rundeck /etc/sysconfig/rundeckd and save it.
5- RUNDECK side. Open the /etc/rundeck/rundeck-config.properties file and check the grails.serverURL parameter, you need to put the external IP or server DNS name and the correct context defined at NGINX side configuration.
grails.serverURL=http://your-nginx-ip-or-dns-name/rundeck
Save it.
6- NGINX side. Start the NGINX service: systemctl start nginx (later if you like to enable on every boot, just do systemctl enable nginx).
7- RUNDECK side. Start the Rundeck service, systemctl start rundeckd (this takes some seconds, later you can enable the service to start on every server boot, just do: systemctl enable rundeckd).
Now rundeck is behind the NGINX proxy server, just open your browser and type: http://your-nginx-ip-or-dns-name/rundeck.

lets assume your rundeck is running in internal server with domain name "internal-rundeck.com:4440" and you want to expose it on "external-rundeck.com/rundeck" domain through nginx---follow below steps
step 1:
In rundeck
RUNDECK_GRAILS_URL="external-rundeck.com/rundeck"
RUNDECK_SERVER_CONTEXTPATH=/="/rundeck"
RUNDECK_SERVER_FORWARDED=true
set above configurations in deployment file as environment variables
step 2:
In nginx
location /rundeck/ {
proxy_pass http://internal-rundeck.com:4440/rundeck/;
}
add this in your nginx config file it works
