How to enable/access the Confluence API from a Confluence Server running in a Docker container

I am running a Confluence server using the official Docker container: atlassian/confluence-server: https://hub.docker.com/r/atlassian/confluence-server/

I would like now to access the Confluence REST API: https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/REST/latest-server/

I see that the container exposes 2 ports: 8090 and 8091. I can get the Confluence UI on the former. Is the latter supposed to be an API port?

I have checked also the plugins if I have to install a plugin. But I haven't found anything.

Maybe I have to send more variables or expose more ports from the docker command?

Solution

  • Found it!

    The API need no further configuration. It is available on the same port as the UI. So, in the case of the default configuration of the atlassian/confluence-server, the API is available under:

    http://localhost:8090/rest/api/content
