Jira¶

Description¶

Jira is Atlassian’s issue and project-tracking platform. This role deploys Jira via Docker Compose, connects it to PostgreSQL, and adds proxy awareness, optional OIDC SSO, health checks, and production-oriented defaults for Infinito.Nexus.

Overview¶

The role builds a lean custom image on top of the official Jira Software image, provisions persistent volumes, and exposes the app behind your reverse proxy. Variables control image/version/volumes/domains/SSO. JVM heap sizing follows the container’s mem_limit: JVM_MAXIMUM_MEMORY is 70 % of it and JVM_MINIMUM_MEMORY 35 %.

Cosmos¶

The diagram places Jira in the Infinito.Nexus cosmos: the components it deploys (capabilities), the central services it consumes (dependencies), and its outward reach (federation and bridged external networks).

Solid 1:1 edges are fixed relationships; dashed 0..1 edges are conditional (enabled only in matching deployments); red 0..0 edges are turned off in this role. Node markers show the role’s deploy modes (💻 host, 🐳 compose, 🐝 swarm); ❌ marks a service that is explicitly turned off, and ⚙️ an Ansible role dependency declared in meta/main.yml.

Features¶

Fully Dockerized: Compose stack with a dedicated data volume (jira_data) and a minimal overlay image to enable future plugins/config.
Reverse-Proxy/HTTPS Ready: Preconfigured Atlassian Tomcat proxy envs so Jira respects external scheme/host/port.
OIDC SSO (Optional): Pre-templated vars for issuer, client, endpoints, scopes; compatible with Atlassian DC SSO/OIDC marketplace apps.
Central Database: PostgreSQL integration (local or central) with credentials sourced from role configuration.
JVM Auto-Tuning: JVM_MINIMUM_MEMORY / JVM_MAXIMUM_MEMORY are 35 % and 70 % of the service mem_limit.
Health Checks: Container healthcheck for quicker failure detection and stable automation.
CSP & Canonical Domains: Integrates with platform CSP and domain management.
Backup Ready: Persistent data under {{ JIRA_STORAGE_PATH }}.

Quick Setup¶

Development¶

Clone, set up the workstation, and deploy Jira onto the local stack:

git clone https://github.com/infinito-nexus/core.git
cd core
make onboard
make compose-deploy mode=reinstall apps=web-app-jira full_cycle=false

Production¶

Run the published image to provision the inventory and deploy Jira to a managed server (the mounted volume persists the inventory):

APP=web-app-jira
HOST=<your-server>
DOMAIN=<your-domain>
TLS_MODE=self_signed
SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="<your-ssh-public-key>"

docker run --rm -it \
  -v "$PWD/inventories:/etc/infinito.nexus/inventories" \
  -e APP="$APP" -e HOST="$HOST" -e DOMAIN="$DOMAIN" -e TLS_MODE="$TLS_MODE" -e SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="$SSH_PUBLIC_KEY" \
  ghcr.io/infinito-nexus/core/debian bash -c '
    INVENTORY=/etc/infinito.nexus/inventories/production
    infinito administration inventory provision "$INVENTORY" \
      --inventory-file "$INVENTORY/devices.yml" \
      --host "$HOST" \
      --include "$APP" \
      --vars "{\"TLS_MODE\": \"$TLS_MODE\", \"DOMAIN_PRIMARY\": \"$DOMAIN\", \"users\": {\"administrator\": {\"authorized_keys\": [\"$SSH_PUBLIC_KEY\"]}}}" &&
    infinito administration deploy dedicated "$INVENTORY/devices.yml" \
      --password-file "$INVENTORY/.password" \
      --diff -vv'

Persona contract opt-outs¶

meta/services.yml pins sso.enabled to false and tasks/main.yml provisions no Jira account — account creation belongs to the licensed first-run setup wizard. Neither the biber nor the administrator persona has credentials to sign in with, so templates/playwright.env.j2 declares PERSONA_BIBER_BLOCKED=true and PERSONA_ADMINISTRATOR_BLOCKED=true. The guest persona and the baseline reachability assertions run unconditionally.
