Jira illustration

This repositoy contains all you need to deploy your own Jira Data Center instance on OpenShift/Kubernetes, in less than 5 minutes!

Deploying Jira Data Center

Copy the raw content in jira-postgresql.yaml.

From the OpenShift console, click on Add to Project > Import YAML / JSON.

Paste the contents you copied at first step.

Click Create, then check Process the template and click Continue.

A setup wizard appears. You can change the preconfigured values if you wish, but it is not necessary: everything is preconfigured. Finish the creation by clicking on Create, then on Close. All necessary resources are now created in OpenShift.

In the Overview pannel, find the Deployment Config called jira-database, and click on the upper arrow to start the database. Starting the database

Wait for it to be ready (takes a few minutes): Database ready

Still in the Overview pannel, find the Deployment Config called jira-run, and click on the upper arrow to start your first Jira node. Starting the first node

Wait for it to be ready (takes a few minutes): First node ready

Visit the Jira URL at the URL provided in the Overview pannel.

If your are seeing the below message, then you need to wait a little bit more: First node ready

Otherwise, you will land on the setup page of Jira. Configure your licence, your admin user, and you will be good to go.

Happy planning with Jira!

Adding nodes to the cluster

From the Overview pannel, find the jira-run Deployment Config, and scale it up: Add a node

Tweaking the configuration

This template preconfigures Jira to work in Data Center mode with its dedicated PostgreSQL database, out of the box.

You will find all relevant configuration in the Config Maps embedded in the template jira-postgresql.yaml:

  • jira-environment with the usual environment variables used by Jira
  • jira-clusterproperties containing the cluster.properties file that gets injected in the system at start up
  • jira-dbconfigxml containing the dbconfig.xml file that gets injected in the system at start up

To tweak the configuration, go to Resources > Config Maps in your OpenShift console, edit the Config Map, and re-deploy.

My node restarted, and I don't see my issues anymore!

In Jira, click on the Cogwheel icon > System > Indexing, and perform a Full re-index of Jira.
