Per BSERV-3112 - Change Gravatar server URL, it is now possible to configure Gravatar URLs in Bitbucket Server, this can be set in the bitbucket.properties file. The following properties are responsible for this:
avatar.url.format.httpavatar.url.format.https
The following format parameters are available for the above mentioned properties:
- %1$s -> The user's e-mail address, MD5 hashed, or "00000000000000000000000000000000" if the user has no e-mail.
- %2$d -> The requested avatar size.
- %3$s -> The fallback URL, URL-encoded, which may be defined using "avatar.url.default".
- %4$s -> The user's e-mail address, not hashed, or an empty string if the user has no e-mail.
So the above parameters can be specified in bitbucket.properties following these examples:
avatar.url.format.http=http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/%1$s.jpg?s=%2$d&d=%3$s
avatar.url.format.https=https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/%1$s.jpg?s=%2$d&d=%3$sDisable Gravatar Support:
- Click the
icon in the Bitbucket header. - Click Avatars.
- Unselect "Enable Gravatar support"
- Save
If you need to audit this value outside of the UI, you can use this SQL to confirm Gravatr is disabled. This should return "disabled":
SELECT *
FROM app_property
WHERE prop_key = 'avatar.source';
