Jira

Description

Jira Software 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 is auto-derived from host RAM with safe caps to prevent Xms > Xmx.

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: Safe calculation of JVM_MINIMUM_MEMORY / JVM_MAXIMUM_MEMORY with caps to avoid VM init errors.

  • 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 /var/atlassian/application-data/jira.
