Bitbucket SSH (IANA: irdmi2)

Git over SSH for Bitbucket Data Center — the port in every ssh://git@host:7999/ clone URL.

TCP IANA: irdmi2

Description

IANA registers 7999 as irdmi2, a name almost nobody uses. What actually listens here is Bitbucket's embedded SSH server: Atlassian's own Helm chart and Docker instructions default bitbucket.ports.ssh to 7999, which is why Bitbucket clone URLs carry the port explicitly while the web UI sits on 7990. It is a normal SSH server implemented in Java, speaking only the Git commands, not a shell.

Exposed to the internet?

Fine to expose

Public Git-over-SSH is the intended deployment: it is public-key only, and the SSH server exposes Git upload/receive-pack rather than a login shell. Pair it with the usual SSH hygiene and keep the 7990 web port behind whatever fronts it.

Check it yourself

$ ssh -p 7999 -o BatchMode=yes git@TARGET
