Jira Server in Docker

Docker image with Atlassian Jira⁠ build in docker. Integrated with MySQL/MariaDB support. Base image is million12/centos-supervisor which is based on offcial CentOS-7 image.

User will need a licence to be able to finish setup. Either evaluation one or full.

This image can be run just by itself but then it will have support only for Jira build-in database HSQL.

Basic Usage

docker run \
-d \
--name jira \
-p 8080:8080 \
million12/jira

Setup

Access setup page under docker.ip:8080 and follow installation procedure.
Atlassian Jira licence is required to finish installation.

ENVIRONEMNTAL VARIABLES

This image comes with few environmental variables that will be needed to connect it to MYSQL/MariaDB container.

DB_SUPPORT - Enabling certain database support. (mysql or mariadb support at the moment. PostgerSQL will be implemented in the future).
MARIADB_USER - Database administrator username.
MARIADB_PASS - Database administrator password.
JIRA_DB_ADDRESS - Database address (ip or domain.com format).
JIRA_DB_NAME - Jira database name.
JIRA_USER - Jira database username.
JIRA_PASS - Jira database password.

MySQL/MariaDB and Data Container Usage

In this example we will deploy Jira server with MySQL/MariaDB support and with separate Data container which will keep installation files and Jira user-data files shared with host os for easy backup.

MariaDB Docker image

docker run -d \
  --name jira-db \
  -e MARIADB_USER=admin \
  -e MARIADB_PASS=password \
  million12/mariadb

Data container

docker run -d \
  --name jira-data \
  -v /data/jira/jira-install:/opt/atlassian \
  -v /data/jira/jira-data:/var/atlassian \
  busybox:latest

Jira container

docker run -d \
  --name jira \
  --link jira-db:jira.db \
  --volumes-from jira-data \
  -e MARIADB_USER=admin \
  -e MARIADB_PASS=password \
  -e JIRA_DB_ADDRESS=jira.db \
  -e JIRA_DB_NAME=jiradb \
  -e JIRA_USER=jira-user \
  -e JIRA_PASS=password \
  -e DB_SUPPORT=mariadb \
  -p 80:8080 \
  million12/jira

Docker troubleshooting

Use docker command to see if all required containers are up and running:

$ docker ps -a

Check online logs of jira container:

$ docker logs jira

Attach to running jira container (to detach the tty without exiting the shell, use the escape sequence Ctrl+p + Ctrl+q):

$ docker attach jira

Sometimes you might just want to review how things are deployed inside a running container, you can do this by executing a bash shell through docker's exec command:

docker exec -i -t jira /bin/bash

History of an image and size of layers:

docker history --no-trunc=true million12/jira | tr -s ' ' | tail -n+2 | awk -F " ago " '{print $2}'
