JIRA software DB change on Azure container

[asukumaran]

Hi, I created a container in Azure and started the trial installation of JIRA software from the docker hub image support atlassian. I am trying to change the DB to a MySQL but don't seem to get the right instruction to change it. Any help is appreciated.

Hello @asukumaran welcome to the community. To change a db type your should do the following. 

1. Backup Jira 
2. Stop jira 
3. Change Jira db.xml file to point to the new db (this would be seen as if your Jira environment is brand new and you just installed Jira)
4. Restore Jira from the backup you made 

Some minor steps might be in the middle but this should give you an idea on what you are trying to achieve
