Platforms supported vs actually utilized

[Boyd K]

Hi.

We are evaluating Jira Data Center for our internal classified environment (so Jira Cloud not an option) which is a hybrid of Windows (WS 2016) and Linux (RHEL 7.9).  I see that for Linux, only Ubuntu is tested. (https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver083/supported-platforms-976767428.html)

So, I just wanted to find out if any organizations out there have successfully implemented Jira Data Center on RHEL 7.x.  If so, have any happen to utilize Oracle 19c for its database? (I see that only Oracle 12c is listed as supported).

Also, I wanted to find out, if we were to stand-up Jira on Windows, have organizations successfully utilize MS SQL Server 2019 for its database.  (I see that 2019 was not listed for the versions of SQL Server supported).

Lastly, our environment does not use Oracle JRE/JDK or OpenJDK.  We have Amazon Corretto.  Have any organizations had success using Corretto.

Thank you.

@Boyd K ,

In Our organization we have installed jira DC on  RHEL 7.x.

Oracle 12c  is compatible to jira version 8.3 there is no any problem with  RHEL 7.x.

You cannot use Oracle 19c as its not compatible for Jira version

You can also install jira on windows with MSSQL as database. the version of database is based on which version of jira you want to install.

Jira application has inbuilt OpenJDK so there should not be any issue.

Accept the answer if it helps

Hi Boyd:

The first thing I can see is that you're pointing to an old version of Jira (8.3). The current version is 8.22 and does support the databases (Oracle 19c, MS SQL Server 2019) that you're looking for.

The notes you're looking at say it does support Linux but they only test on Ubuntu.  I've installed Jira on RHEL/Amazon Linux/CentOS with no problems.

I'm not sure about Corretto.

Hope this helps

Ah, thanks for pointing out the link to the older version.  That's much better now that I found the information on the latest version.

Per a prior response, if Jira Data Center comes with a built-in version of OpenJDK, then I think we would be OK.
