Installing Jira and Confluence on the same virtual server

[Tiberiu Manolescu]

Hello, recently I installed Jira software on a virtual machine. I want to install Confluence to the same machine and work together. How can I do this? Does tomcat have some issues if I install Jira and Confluence on the same virtual server? 

As OS, I use Ubuntu server 18.04 and as database I use an external postgre db.

Can someone provide a step by step tutorial, or some hints for this please?

Thank you

You can install them on the same machine.  The only problem you will run into is performance - you need to make sure the machine has enough power (memory and cpu) to run both at the same time.

The reason is that both systems are independent installations - if you run the installer for each, they will (by default) install the services in different places, with their own jvms and tomcats, and running on different ports.

There isn't really a "tutorial", as there's nothing new to do.  Install Jira as per docs, then Confluence.  Or the other way around.

Hello,

It will work just fine as long as you have enough resources. Confluence will run on 8090 port and Jira will run on 8080.

ok, and I can install them as services? When I restart the virtual server, both will start?

If you restart your virtual server, then both of your services will be up.
