Jira v7.13 installed under latest ubuntu 21.0

Is there any issue if we install JIRA v7.13 under ubuntu 21.0 or any latest ubuntu stable release?

The operating system doesn't usually matter, but what tends to be the limiting factor is the version of Java installed to that system.  Check out the Jira Supported platforms for 7.13.x .  It explains that in that version of Jira, only Java 8 is supported, but this version of Jira does support both Oracle's JRE/JDK and AdoptOpenJDK.  Earlier versions of Jira only had support for Oracle's Java officially.

I'd be willing to bet that by default that new version of Ubuntu does not come installed with this older Java version.  And when you go to install Java at this point, I would strongly recommend getting the latest OpenJDK 8 LTS from https://adoptopenjdk.net/

You will also want to check on the supported database version listed in that supported platforms for much of the same reasons.
