How to configure NGINX for Confluence with synchrony enabled & JIRA in a single server

Task/Goal

Let Confluence work with synchrony feature enabled !

Collaborative editing for Confluence Server
cf. https://developer.atlassian.com/confdev/collaborative-editing-for-confluence-server

• with Confluence synchrony on --> Confluence freezes immediately after creating new page ???
• without synchrony --> Confluence works but we want co-edit feature ...
