Is DB provisioning not working in Jira Docker?

[Elliot Koo(구병모)]

I’ve launched the containers as follows:

docker run -d --name="pgjira" \
--network=host \
-e PGPROT=15432 \
-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=1234 \
-e POSTGRES_DB=pgjira \
-e POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=md5 \
postgres:14

docker run -d --name="jira" \
--network=host \
-e JVM_MINIMUM_MEMORY=1024m \
-e JVM_MAXIMUM_MEMORY=2048m \
-e ATL_JDBC_URL=jdbc:postgres://localhost:15432/pgjira \
-e ATL_JDBC_USER=postgres \
-e ATL_JDBC_PASSWORD=1234 \
-e ATL_DB_DRIVER=org.postgresql.Driver \
-e ATL_DB_TYPE=postgres72 \
-e TZ=Asia/Seoul \
atlassian/jira-software:9.4-jdk11

However, I encountered a ‘couldn’t connect’ message after that, as shown in the attached image.

So, I removed(used prune in case) the above jira container and relaunched Jira without JDBC environment variables as follows:

docker run -d --name="jira" \
--network=host \
-e JVM_MINIMUM_MEMORY=1024m \
-e JVM_MAXIMUM_MEMORY=2048m \
-e TZ=Asia/Seoul \
atlassian/jira-software:9.4-jdk11

 Then, I confirmed that the connection was successful when I entered information such as localhost, 15432, pgjira, postgres, 1234, etc. step-by-step through the UI.

From what I see, it seems that Jira’s DB initialization does not proceed just by entering the DB environment variable values.

Is there a way to enable such provisioning or automation when installing Jira with Docker?

+ Is there a way to enter the trial license during the Docker run process?

Hello 👋 

i would try using -e PGPORT (postgres port) instead of -e PGPROT (seems like a typo to me). Also, as far as I remember the postgres standard port is 5432. But that number can be changed on PG side iirc so 15432 might be by design.

Oh! There was a typo....haha. Thx for noting it to me.
