Before installing Jira, make sure you have the right software and infrastructure to run it. If a platform and version is not listed on this page, it means we don't test it, fix bugs or provide assistance for it. All platforms are shared between Jira Server and Jira Data Center, unless they're clearly marked as Data Center only.

This page is for Jira 8.21 . If you're looking for a different version, select it at the top-right.


Definitions:

(tick) Supported – you can use  Jira 8.21  with this platform.

(info) Limited – you can evaluate  Jira 8.21  on this platform, but you can't run a production site on it. 

(warning) Deprecated – you can use  Jira 8.21 with this platform, but we're planning to end support in an upcoming release.

Eclipse Temurin / Eclipse Adoptium

  • Our Support and Engineering teams use Eclipse Adoptium to replicate any issues raised with Eclipse Temurin. If you’re using a different distribution of Eclipse Temurin (e.g. Zulu), we’ll still provide support for our products. However, if the bug is caused by a problem in Java distribution, we’ll ask you to reach out to the Java distributor for help.
  • You don't need to install Java if using the Windows Installer or Linux Installer as Eclipse Adoptium JRE is bundled with Jira.

To see the compatibility between your Jira version and the version of Eclipse Adoptium (AdoptOpenJDK), check Bundled Tomcat and Java versions. In the tables, see Tested JREs.

  1. Stop your Jira instance.
  2. Remove the bundled driver from <JIRA_INST>/lib/.
  3. Download the new driver and place it in <JIRA_INST>/lib/.
  4. Restart your Jira instance.

  1. Stop your Jira instance.
  2. Remove the bundled driver from <JIRA_INST>/lib/.
  3. Download the new driver and place it in <JIRA_INST>/lib/.

Embedded database

    • Jira ships with a built-in database (H2).

To get an overview of all supported databases and their compatibility with Jira versions, check Jira databases compatibility matrix. The matrix complements this document and contains the latest information about added or removed support for a particular database.

Environment and Infrastructure

Containerization

  • You can use official templates to deploy Jira in a Docker container, or customize a Docker deployment on your own.
  • We support the Jira templates and can help with Jira-related problems, but we don't provide support for Docker itself.

Hardware

  • NFS mounts are supported only for Jira Data Center's shared home directory. They won't work for Server, or DC's local home directory due to Lucene requirements. Read the IndexWriter docs for more information. 
  • We only support Jira running on x86 hardware and 64-bit derivatives of x86 hardware.
  • If you are installing Jira from an archive, create a dedicated user account on the operating system to run Jira, since Jira runs as the user it is invoked under, it can potentially be abused.

Virtualization

  • VMware supports all of the operating systems listed under 'Operating systems'.
  • We don't provide support for VMWare itself.
  • Read Virtualizing Jira for information on how to configure VMWare.

Application server

Internet protocols (IP)

  • We support IPv4.
  • We support IPv6 with some limitations. See IPv6 in Jira.

External user directories

You can manage users in the following LDAP directories:

  • Apache Directory Server 1.0.x
  • Apache Directory Server 1.5.x
  • Apple Open Directory (Read-Only)
  • FedoraDS (Read-Only Posix Schema)
  • Generic Directory Server
  • Generic Posix/RFC2307 Directory (Read-Only)
