Description

Installs and configures Jira and starts it as a service under runit.

Requirements

Platform:

• Ubuntu 10.04
• Debian 6.0

Requires a MySQL database server, but currently out of scope to run this on the same system, or even automatically set it up (see Roadmap and Usage).

Cookbooks:

• runit
• java
• apache2

Attributes

See attributes/default.rb for defaults.

• node['jira']['virtual_host_name'] - hostname to use in the virtualhost
• node['jira']['virtual_host_alias'] - server alias(es) to use in the virtual host.
• node['jira']['version'] - version of jira to install
• node['jira']['install_path'] - location where jira should be installed
• node['jira']['run_user'] - user to run the jira service as
• node['jira']['database'] - the name of the database to connect to
• node['jira']['database_host'] - hostname of the database server
• node['jira']['database_user'] - user to connect to the database
• node['jira']['database_password'] - password to use for the database connection.

Recipes

default

The default recipe sets up runit, java and apache2 first, then downloads jira-standalone from atlassian of the specified version. It also downloads and installs the mysql connector.

After writing the configuration and startup.sh script, jira will start under runit, and an apache vhost will be set up for it.

Usage

Until COOK-464 is released, the following manual steps are required to set up the database.

Mysql queries:

create database jiradb character set utf8;
grant all privileges on jiradb.*
    to '$jira_user'@'localhost' identified by '$jira_password';
flush privileges;
