Ansible deployment for JIRA

1. QuickStart

ansible-galaxy install fauzigo.jira
# Deploy to a remote
ansible-playbook jira.yml --extra-vars=/path/to/file_vars

Table of contents

2. Overview

An Ansible playbook to automate the installation of Atlassian Jira, could posibly be used to keep it updated

The Task performed by the playbook are:

- install or check if java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel is installed
- create a group for jira
- create a user that belong to the group created before
- Download the standalone tar file given a version
- extract the tar file
- create a symlink to an shorter dir name for the extracted dir
- set the jira-home dir in the jira-application.properties file
- copy an init script or a service file depending on the EL major release

3. Requirements

Ansible to be installed in the local machine.

Because I'm using RHEL the easiest way to install is:

yum install ansible

but as you are already here (github) you can try:

git clone git://github.com/ansible/ansible.git --recursive
cd ./ansible
source ./hacking/env-setup

4. Usage

  1. git clone http://github.com/fauzigo/ansible-jira or ansible-galaxy install fauzigo.jira
  2. create a vars file in you group_vars dir or host_vars or simply add them directory on your main yml file
  3. run the Ansible playbook, the fastest way is:
ansible-playbook jira.yml --extra-vars=/path/to/file_var

4.1 Playbook Arguments

  • jira_user_group: group that jira files are going to belong to
  • jira_user_group_gid: group id
  • jira_user: user that jira files are going to belong to
  • jira_user_uid: user id
  • jira_user_home_dir: path to where the sources are going to be, Default: /opt
  • jira_home: jira-home path, if it's the first time installation use whereever you like, otherwise use your current
  • jira_version: the version check latest in atlassian site
  • jira_version_file_sha256sum: you should have this
  • jira_download_link: link to download the .tar.gz file (note: it will be concatenated with the version var)

TODO: make gid, uid and sha256sum optional

Example:

ansible-playbook jira.yml --extra-vars 'jira_user_group=jira jira_user_group_gid=1000 jira_user=jira jira_user_uid=1000 jira_user_home_dir=/opt jira_home=/var/jira jira_download_link="http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/downloads/binary/atlassian-jira" jira_version=6.3.9 jira_version_file_sha256sum=5ba3496347d78383e0201a80ecd0bafa9b6a2ea1e4841f4d843c1369d21da9a9'

TODO use the handler after install to run the application

5. After install

You can just ssh to the server(s) (more than one if you are using jira datacenter) and:

for releases version 6 or less [works with 7 as well]

service jira start

for releases version 7

systemctl start jira.service
