Jira upgrade only upgrading jira core. Not upgrading jira software.

Munjal Patel

Upgrading jira with following command:

     helm upgrade -i testjira01 jira-1.0.0.tgz  --namespace testnamespace --version 1.0.0 \

     --values cicd/test/values.yaml --reuse-values --set replicaCount=1 -set image.tag=8.19.1

above upgrade command only upgrades jira core. Jira software version stays same.

Clicking update button via UI to update Jira software gives unexpected error.

Below lets me install jira-software:

1. Stop Jira
2. Go to the <Jira-Shared-Home>/plugins/installed-plugins directory
3. Rename the <Jira-Shared-Home>/plugins/installed-plugins directory to <Jira-Shared-Home>/plugins/installed-plugins2
4. Start Jira
5. Install Jira Software via UI.

Tried normal and rolling upgrade both do not upgrade jira-software plugin.

Image is downloaded using "docker pull atlassian/jira-software:8.19.1"  from docker hub and pushed to ACR and tagged properly. Jira is running on AKS and shared files folder storage class is azurefiles.

Hi @Munjal Patel 

I think you may need to take a look at:

* https://atlassian.github.io/data-center-helm-charts/userguide/CONFIGURATION/#additional-libraries-plugins

* https://github.com/atlassian/data-center-helm-charts/blob/main/src/main/charts/jira/values.yaml#L568

In other words, your installed plugins need to be persisted across pod restarts.
