Set up Snyk Broker with Bitbucket Server/Data Center

Follow the instructions on this page to set up Bitbucket Server/Data Center with Snyk Broker. This integration is useful to ensure a secure connection with your on-premise Bitbucket deployment.

Prerequisites Ask your Snyk account team to provide you with a Broker token.

You need Docker or a way to run Docker Linux containers. Some Docker deployments for Windows run only Windows containers. Ensure that your deployment is capable of running Linux containers.

Configure Broker to be used with Bitbucket

The following explains how to configure Snyk Broker to use the Broker Client with a Bitbucket Server deployment.

To use the Snyk Broker Client with BitBucket, run docker pull snyk/broker:bitbucket-server.The following environment variables are required to configure the Broker client:

  • BROKER_TOKEN - the Snyk Broker token, obtained from your Bitbucket Server integration settings view (app.snyk.io).

  • BITBUCKET_USERNAME - the Bitbucket Server username. You can use an API token rather than your username and password.

  • BITBUCKET_PASSWORD - the Bitbucket Server password. You can use an API token rather than your username and password.

  • BITBUCKET - the hostname of your Bitbucket Server deployment, such as your.bitbucket-server.domain.com.

  • BITBUCKET_API - the API endpoint of your Bitbucket Server deployment. Should be $BITBUCKET/rest/api/1.0.

  • BROKER_CLIENT_URL - the full URL of the Broker client as it will be accessible to your Bitbucket Server for webhooks, such as http://broker.url.example:8000.This URL is required to access features such as PR Fixes or PR Checks.

  • PORT - the local port at which the Broker client accepts connections. Default is 800.

  • ACCEPT_IAC - by default, some file types used by Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) are not enabled. To grant the Broker access to IaC files in your repository, such as Terraform for example, you can simply add an environment variable ACCEPT_IAC with any combination of tf,yaml,yml,json,tpl

  • ACCEPT_CODE - by default, when using the Snyk Broker - Code Agent, Snyk Code will not load code snippets. To enable code snippets you can simply add an environment variable ACCEPT_CODE=true

If necessary, go to the Advanced configuration page and make any configuration changes needed, such as providing the CA (Certificate Authority) to the Broker Client configuration if the Bitbucket instance is using a private certificate, and setting up proxy support. See also Adding custom accept.json for Docker installation.

Docker run command to set up a Broker Client for Bitbucket

Copy the following command to set up a fully configured Broker Client to analyze Open Source, IaC, Container, and Code files (with the Code Agent).

docker run --restart=always \
           -p 8000:8000 \
           -e BROKER_TOKEN=<secret-broker-token> \
           -e BITBUCKET_USERNAME=<username> \
           -e BITBUCKET_PASSWORD=<password> \
           -e BITBUCKET=<your.bitbucket-server.domain.com (no http/s)> \
           -e BITBUCKET_API=<your.bitbucket-server.domain.com/rest/api/1.0 (no http/s)> \
           -e PORT=8000 \
           -e BROKER_CLIENT_URL=<http://broker.url.example:8000 (dns/IP:port)> \
           -e ACCEPT_IAC=tf,yaml,yml,json,tpl \
           -e ACCEPT_CODE=true \
       snyk/broker:bitbucket-server

As an alternative to using the Docker run command, you can use a derived Docker image to set up the Broker Client integration. See Derived Docker images for the environment variables to override for the BitBucket Server/Data Center integration.

Start the Broker Client container and verify the connection with Bitbucket

Paste the Broker Client configuration to start the Broker Client container.

Once the container is up, the Bitbucket Integrations page shows the connection to Bitbucket and you can Add Projects

Basic troubleshooting for Broker with BitBucket

  • Run docker logs <container id> to look for any errors, where container id is the Bitbucket Broker container ID.

  • Ensure relevant ports are exposed to Bitbucket.
