I don't think you got an answer to this earlier because there are a lot of incorrect suppositions in the question.

You do not need a web server to run JIRA.  A lot of us put it behind a proxying web-server for various reasons, but you don't need one.

It comes bundled with an application server already (you can use a different one, but it's a monumental pain, so don't do it)

For the installation, see https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver073/installing-jira-applications-on-linux-861253030.html

For the sizing, see https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver073/jira-applications-installation-requirements-861253014.html
