How do you run a jar or war file of Atlassian SDK plugin on remote server?

[Seyid Aghayev]

I try to run my simple Atlassian SDK plugin on the remote server. After I create and build an Jira plugin, a huge folder of about 2.5 GB created. There are also jar and war files inside. On my laptop I just use "atlas-run" for running. What is the right way of running the plugin on the remote server if I connect to it by SSH? I cannot copy the whole folder into the remote server and use "atlas-run" there. Can I just use jar or war files instead? And where do I put them? Thank you.

Hello @Seyid Aghayev ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If I understand correctly you are using the Atlassian SDK to build a plugin for Jira Server, and now you need to install the plugin on a remote Jira Server installation.

If this is correct, then there are multiple ways to install the plugin into a running Jira Server explained in below links:

• Automatic plugin reinstallation with QuickReload
• atlas-install-plugin
• Installing Marketplace Apps: installing by file upload 

Otherwise, if this is not what you are trying to do, please provide more details.

Cheers,
Dario

Hello Dario,

thank you for the response. Yes, I was trying to install the plugin to Jira running on server. I have found a way to install it there by putting the jar into the installed-plugins directory and restarting Jira.

Thanks for your reply @Seyid Aghayev , that's indeed the way documented in: Installing Marketplace Apps: installing by file upload.

For the rest, since this is not an issue for you anymore, I am accepting the answer so that this thread will be marked as resolved. 

Cheers,
Dario
