Moving from bare metall to docker image

[André Scholz]

We have a very old installation of jira software (7.5.2) on an ubuntu 16.04. And want to migrate to a new server, but there in a docker container (7.5.13).

I copied the database to the new machine and got it running to that point:

2020-07-07 15:24:56,571+0000 JIRA-Bootstrap ERROR [c.a.jira.upgrade.UpgradeLauncher] No upgrade is being performed due to detected inconsistencies. We found a problem with your JIRA license

Is the only problem the missing licence? And how can I transfer the licence from the old server to the new one?

[André Scholz · Accepted solution]

Well, problems solved:

The problem was that I mounted to much into the docker container:

Instead of

docker run -v /var/atlassian/application-data/jira-software:/var/atlassian/application-data/jira -v /opt/atlassian/jira-software/conf:/opt/atlassian/jira/conf --name="jira-software" -d -p 8180:8080 -e JVM_MINIMUM_MEMORY=4096m -e JVM_MAXIMUM_MEMORY=8096m -e JVM_RESERVED_CODE_CACHE_SIZE=2048m ontavio/jira-software

I had to use

docker run -v /var/atlassian/application-data/jira-software:/var/atlassian/application-data/jira -v /opt/atlassian/jira-software/conf/server.xml:/opt/atlassian/jira/conf/server.xml --name="jira-software" -d -p 8180:8080 -e JVM_MINIMUM_MEMORY=4096m -e JVM_MAXIMUM_MEMORY=8096m -e JVM_RESERVED_CODE_CACHE_SIZE=2048m ontavio/jira-software

 Now I can setup with a new licence. Thanks anyway!

Hi @André Scholz ,

As far that I remember, running JIRA with Docker was not officially supported by Atlassian as production environment. I usually use Docker in my local environment;

Regarding your issue, 

• I recommend you to run JIRA with the same amount of JVM min and max memory
• Copy the JIRA Home and edit dbconfig.xml to your new database
• You can either update the license from your 7.5.2 , copy the database again and start your docker container(7.5.13), or you can follow this article  Manage Jira server license using database queries

[André Scholz]

Well, thanks for your answer. But that didn't work. I already tried this.

By the way, on the official atlassian docker hub container site is no remark that this is not supported for production environment.

We have all our applications dockerized, confluence is working since some months as docker container, and also service desk.
