Summary

Bitbucket Data Center nodes running on Docker may fail to form a cluster even when the Hazelcast group name and password are set correctly.

Environment

  • Each Bitbucket Data Center node(s) is running on its own individual Docker host.

Diagnosis

When the second Bitbucket Data Center node tries to join the cluster, it will fail with the following log messages in the $BITBUCKET_HOME/log/atlassian-bitbucket.log:

The first node will throw these log messages in the $BITBUCKET_HOME/log/atlassian-bitbucket.log:

Explanation

When the cluster is being formed with the Hazelcast authentication enabled and the default Docker network (which is the bridge type network), the Docker container IP will be evaluated instead of the Docker host IP. This IP mismatch will cause the cluster validation to fail and prevent the nodes from forming a cluster. 

Workaround

  • Use host type network instead of bridge type network for Bitbucket containers. Refer to Docker - Networking overview for more details. What happens in here is that the Docker container will share the same network as the Docker host, hence the IP Address of the Hazelcast request will be the from the Docker host IP Address.
    OR
  • Use a multi-host Docker network architecture, such as Docker Swarm. This will allow Docker containers from multiple host to run within the same Docker network.
    OR
  • Consider moving to Kubernetes environment where there is built in Kubernetes Hazelcast discovery; Atlassian DC Helm Charts.
