Install Jira Core within a shared web hosting

[Jean-Paul Dufour]

Hello,

before buying a new licence, I would like to know how far Jira Core installation fits with the installation within a shared web hosting service provider

I mean

- what are the special means needed that a customer I am can't afford to install Jira

- same question for usual administration during the tool usage (adding users, ...)

thank you for your support

I am not sure I understand the questions.

To install Jira on a server, you need to run the installation program/script that you download.  You will often need to think about the networking to ensure the ports are open so people can reach it over the network.

I don't know what you mean by "special means needed that a customer I am can't afford to install Jira" (which means the second question can't be understood as well)

for instance: do I need server admin (usually root) password to install jira ?

things that usually we don't have within a shared web hosting service

so my question is to identify what may be blocking points in Jira prerequisites for installation and operations, when we think about it to be installed within a shared web hosting provider's

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

You will want to create a user to run the service as, ideally, and you'll probably need root access to set up firewalls and networking properly.

ok this is tipically a blocking point to use a web hosting provider

other solution: use my Synology DS212 (without Docker) to host Jira, how is it possible ?

If it can run the right version of Java and provide a network route to Jira, then yes.

With 256 MB RAM this could be tough. Is there a Java version available for the Marvell Kirkwood 88F6282 (1 Core CPU). I wouldn't waste my time on trying to get Jira running on this 7 years old NAS.

Heh, I did not know what the <random hardware> was.  Don't even bother trying to run Jira on a machine with less than 1.5Gb of RAM, it will not be usable.

thank you for your advices

I am finally looking to buy a new NAS with docker to install Jira

[JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_]

Not sure if there is a docker image for Jira available. At least not from Atlassian. Why do you need a NAS to run Jira? I'd go for an easy peasy PC with a least 2 GB RAM, put some Linux on it and there you go. Why the hassle with NAS, docker etc...

Best
