IPv6 in Jira
Starting from Jira 7.11, we support running Jira in an IPv6 environment. We’ve taken the dual-stack approach (IPv4 + IPv6), so your IPv4 addresses will still work. In most cases there’s nothing you need to do, however there are a few limitations that you need to be aware of.
Limitations
Must allow IPv4 traffic
Some parts of Jira, listed below, require IPv4. Enabling the IPv4 traffic is not mandatory, but you won't be able to use these features without it.
- Atlassian Marketplace
- Integration with Atlassian Cloud products
- Log Analyzer
- End of Life check
Avoid using raw IPv6 addresses anywhere in the Jira configuration
We recommend that you use hostnames or domain names instead of IPv6 addresses. It's a more reliable way of configuring and accessing both Jira and other Atlassian products.
In some cases, like LDAP configuration, you'll get a validation error if you use an IPv6 address, and not a hostname or domain name.
Avoid using raw IPv6 addresses in the browser
Rich Text Editor won’t work if you access Jira through a plain IPv6 address. It will work when you use a hostname.
Problems with cache replication for Jira Data Center on Linux
The cache replication tries to use the IPv4 address instead of IPv6 as an RMI endpoint, and fails if IPv4 is disabled on your system.
