⚠️ As of the 15th of Feb. 2024, Atlassian has ended their technical support, security updates and bug fixes for vulnerabilities for their Server products. Before connecting to an on-premise version of either BitBucket or Jira check whether your company already has a plan to migrate to the cloud hosted versions of these products.
First check that the URL for your Bitbucket Server / Bitbucket Data Center instance is publicly available with a public DNS record for Gearset to connect. You can verify this by entering the instance URL at https://dnschecker.org/
Initial Bitbucket Server / Bitbucket Data Center setup (team owner)
Then you'll need your Bitbucket Server administrator to create an application link within Bitbucket Server to Gearset. Then you'll need to get your Gearset team owner to link your Gearset team to that Bitbucket Server instance. This provides a mechanism for Gearset to authenticate against Bitbucket Server and only has to be completed once for your team. Once this initial connection has been made, any other users on your team can set up their own Bitbucket Server connection themselves in a couple of clicks.
Step 1: Copy Gearset's public key (Gearset team owner only)
In Gearset, under
My connections, click the Source control and services page.
Click +
Connect to Bitbucket Server / Bitbucket Data Center.
In the resulting dialog, get the generated
Public keyandConsumer keyto hand as you'll need them for Step 2.
Step 2: Creating an application link in Bitbucket Server / Bitbucket Data Center (Bitbucket Server admin only)
In a new tab, sign in to your Bitbucket Server / Bitbucket Data Center instance as an administrator and navigate to the
Administrationpage then clickApplication Linksfrom the menu. (Note: this must be completed in a new tab to preserve the generatedConsumer key.)
Click Create link and choose
Atlassian product. Enter https://app.gearset.com in the box and clickContinue.
When prompted with a dialog to confirm the application URL, click
Continue.The yellow warning can be ignored.
In the
Link applicationsdialog, enter anApplication Name, and leave theApplication TypeasGeneric Application. It's important to leave theService Provider Nameblank and to checkCreate incoming linkbefore clickingContinue.
In the
Link applicationsdialog, enter aConsumer Nameand Gearset’sConsumer KeyandPublic Keyfrom Step 1. Once the configuration is complete, clickContinue.
Once completed, Gearset should appear as an application link in your Bitbucket Server / Bitbucket Data Center instance.
Step 3: Authorize Gearset as your Bitbucket Server / Bitbucket Data Center user
Switch back to the Source control and services page in Gearset. In the same
Add Bitbucket Serverdialog as before, enter theURLof your Bitbucket Server / Bitbucket Data Center instance and clickConnect.
You’ll be redirected to your Bitbucket Server / Bitbucket Data Center instance and prompted to log in, if you aren’t already. When prompted, grant Gearset permission to make changes to your Bitbucket Server / Bitbucket Data Center data by clicking
Allow.
Once complete, you'll be redirected back to Gearset.
Connecting to Bitbucket Server / Bitbucket Data Center (team members)
Once the Bitbucket Server / Bitbucket Data Center application link has been created and Gearset has been authorized by the team owner, the rest of the team members will be able to connect to Bitbucket Server:
Navigate to the Source control and services page and click
+ Connect to Bitbucket Server.Click
Allowwithin theWelcome to Bitbucket Serverdialogue box.
You'll be redirected back to Gearset and can start working with repositories on your Bitbucket Server instance.
