How to customize jira-config.properties on docker deployment

[Marcelo Mella]

I'm trying to deploy Jira DC on dockers, and i can't find a way to configure jira-config.properties.

Some of the configurations i use at this moment are these:

jira.lf.date.relativize = false
jira.export.excel.enabled = true
jira.index.issue.threads = 40
upgrade.reindex.allowed=false

Hi @Marcelo Mella

One option of doing this is by mounting jira.properties as a volume. Check out this article on how this can be done:

i thought that you can only mount directories.

It seems that this should work fine

Hey @Marcelo Mella you can do both, Docker Volume is a complex topic. You can read up on that here https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#volume-shared-filesystems and here https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/

Thanks @Sebastian Schmidt , to add one more complexity, i'm using AWS Fargate.

I can't mount a single file from a EFS, so i'm raising a support ticket on AWS to ask for some help

For any of those that are trying to configure jira-config.properties on a Fargate configuration, the best answer is to use a "sidecar".
