CONFIGURE HTTPS ON JIRA SERVER-UBUNTU 18.04

[Male Gift Musisi]

I would like to get a detailed guide on how to setup https on my JIRA instance from port 8080 to 443, my installation is on ubuntu 18.04.

All help is very needed.

Thanks

There's two ways people do this. 

The messy and annoying one is to implement SSL in the Tomcat Jira runs on.

The better, easier and more flexible one is to run it behind a proxy that does SSL.  The usual one is to use Apache for this, but you can do it with others like Nginx, Lighttpd and so-on.  See https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/securing-your-atlassian-applications-with-apache-using-ssl-838284349.html
