Heads up!

This documentation site is still is very much a work in progress and writing documentation and and easy to digest information is hard. This is the reason why some knowledge both about Atlassian JIRA, Docker, Linux, and systems adminstration is assumed and likely required.

If you would like to contribute to the documentation or the Docker image project in any way have a look in the about page.

Basic configuration

Fill in the basic configuration of your Atlassian JIRA instance, the values will be dynamicly updated throughout the page.

JIRA version:

JIRA Home location:

JIRA Installation location:

Docker host:

Write your IP or Hostname of the Docker host machine

JIRA port:

Write the port you wish to have Atlassian JIRA be available on

I'm in the fast lane!

To quickly get started with running a JIRA instance, first run the following command:

docker run --detach --publish :8080 cptactionhank/atlassian-jira:

Then use your browser to nagivate to http://: and finish the configuration.

The slower road to get started

This is how to create the container for running an Atlassian JIRA instance and before you run the command as is take note of the [your settings] which should be left out or filled to suit your needs.

docker create [your settings] cptactionhank/atlassian-jira:

Nginx Example

docker run -d \
    -p 80:8080 \
    --link {{container.name}}:{{container.name}}
    -e "SERVER1REVERSE_PROXY_LOCATION1=/" \
    -e "SERVER1REVERSE_PROXY_PASS1=http://{{container.name}}:8080" \

Using a Process Manager

Container name:

Write the name of the JIRA container

Container creation

The first thing you need to do is creating the container instance that should be managed by a process manager. This is done by performing the following command below and after this, you should configure your service with the process manager of your choice. You can use the configuration file examples below for systemd and upstart.

docker pull cptactionhank/atlassian-jira:{{ jira.version.name }}
docker create --restart=no --name "{{ container.name }}" \
    --publish "{{ jira.port }}:8080" \
    {{ container.env|formatEnvironment }}\
    cptactionhank/atlassian-jira:{{ jira.version.name }}

Systemd

Below you can find an example file of how a systemd service unit could be defined for your Atlassian JIRA instance. For more information of service files click here.

[Unit]
Description=Redis container
Requires=docker.service
After=docker.service

[Service]
Restart=always
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker start --attach "{{ container.name }}"
ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker stop --time 60 "{{ container.name }}"

[Install]
WantedBy=local.target

Upstart

Below you can find an example file of how an Upstart system job could be defined for your Atlassian JIRA instance. For more information of system job configuration files click here.

description "Atlassian JIRA container"
start on filesystem and started docker
stop on runlevel [!2345]

respawn

script
  /usr/bin/docker start --attach "{{ container.name }}"
end script
