generating the evaluation license key is very simple (you should create an account with Atlassian)

the product is installed for user "jira":
sudo su - jira

logs are in /opt/atlassian/jira/logs/


To troubleshoot webhooks, you should enable DEBUG loggin as default in http://localhost:8080/secure/admin/ViewLogging.jspa
then you see the webhook body being traced in /opt/atlassian/jira/logs/catalina.out

Start and stop:
sudo /etc/init.d/jira start
sudo /etc/init.d/jira stop

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 cptactionhank/atlassian-jira:7.7.0


I need to install netstat, but I have no root access (root pw is not given), so I do:

docker exec -ti --user root elastic_agnesi /bin/sh

and I get this strange error:

OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:348: starting container process caused "chdir to cwd (\"/var/atlassian/jira\") set in config.json failed: permission denied": unknown


woorkaround:

docker exec -ti elastic_agnesi /bin/sh
chmod 777 .
chmod 777 ..
exit

and try again connecting as root.... I have no idea why, but this time it works....

Then as root do

apt install net-tools

Then I discover that only tcp (not tcp6) ports are available, because the image doesn't support IPv6 : "cat /proc/net/if_inet6" returns nothing.

Now I start my webhook intercepting application with IPv4

java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar bla.jar

before:

[centos@localhost ~]$ netstat -an | grep 8090
tcp6 0 0 :::8090 :::* LISTEN

after:

[centos@localhost ~]$ netstat -an | grep 8090
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8090 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

but still curl -X POST http://localhost:8090/greeting is not working... I am giving up and will install JIRA directly on host....

Jenkins Blueocean and integration with JIRA

docker run -u root -d --rm -p 8090:8080 --name jenkins-blueocean -v jenkins-data:/var/jenkins_home -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock jenkinsci/blueocean

http://localhost:8080 and finish configuring admin user and install all recommended plugins

docker ps (note the containerid)
docker commit $containerid myjenkinsblueocean

sudo docker run --detach --publish 8080:8080 cptactionhank/atlassian-jira:latest
(for some reason, jira in docker needs 8080:8080... I tried 8090:8080 and it tries internally to connect to 8080 which fails)

Jira on Docker, and integration with BitBucket/Github

and you can also find one here http://localhost:8080/plugins/servlet/upm/marketplace/search?q=github "git integration for Jira" by BigBrassBand

interesting also the Jigit project, by Dmitri Apanasevich

It seems that integration with Stash is more supported.... how to run Stash locally... https://hub.docker.com/r/atlassian/bitbucket-server/

sudo docker volume create --name bitbucketVolume
sudo docker run -v bitbucketVolume:/var/atlassian/application-data/bitbucket --name="bitbucket" -d -p 7990:7990 -p 7999:7999 atlassian/bitbucket-server

sudo docker exec -ti bitbucket /bin/bash


http://localhost:7990/


To integrate Bitbucket with Jira, in Bitbucket there is a link "Administration/Application Integration".... it pays to use same username/pw for administrator role on both products.

Installing JIRA on Linux

Download here http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/download the 30 days evaluation version

chosen the 64 bit for Linux

Here the installation manual for Linux

Once I download and copy it, I do
chmod a+x atlassian-jira-X.Y.bin


Since it's not recommended to use HSQLDB internal DB, I configure it to use Oracle DB - this option will appear during the first access to the console. The Schema provided must be empty, otherwise JIRA will refuse to proceed.

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Connecting+JIRA+to+Oracle#ConnectingJIRAtoOracle-manually



On the whole, it's a very easy and straightforward setup. You don't need root access.
