If a platform and version is not listed on this page, it means we don't test it, fix bugs or provide assistance for it.All platforms are shared between Jira Server and Jira Data Center, unless they're clearly marked as Data Center only.

This page is for Jira 9.4 . If you're looking for a different version, select it at the top-right.

  • As a best practice, we recommend using the latest version of Java.Check the version we bundle when using the installer

Eclipse Temurin/Eclipse Adoptium

  • Our Support and Engineering teams use Eclipse Adoptiumto replicate any issues raised with Eclipse Temurin. If you’re using a different distribution of Eclipse Temurin (e.g. Zulu), we’ll still provide support for our products. However, if the bug is caused by a problem in Java distribution, we’ll ask you to reach out to the Java distributor for help.
  • You don't need to install Java if using theWindows InstallerorLinux Installer as Eclipse AdoptiumJREis bundled with Jira.

To see the compatibility between your Jira version and the version of Eclipse Adoptium (AdoptOpenJDK), check Bundled Tomcat and Java versions. In the tables, see Tested JREs.

Jirais a pure Java-based application and should run on any supported operating system, provided that the JDK / JRE requirements are satisfied.

Microsoft Windows:

ReadAnti-Virus in Jiraapplications.

Linux:

We perform tests on Ubuntu.

Azure:

  • If you’re creating your own deployment in Azure, you can use any configuration (e.g. OS or database) that’s supported both by Jira and Azure.

The Azure Resource Manager template as a method of deployment is no longer supported or maintained by Atlassian. You can still customize it for your own usage to deploy Data Center products on Azure though.

We recommend deploying your Data Center products on a Kubernetes cluster using our Helm charts for a more efficient and robust infrastructure and operational setup. Learn more about deploying on Kubernetes

Environment and Infrastructure

Containerization

You can use official images to deploy Jira in a Docker container or customize a Docker deployment on your own.

We support the Atlassian Docker templates and can help with Jira related problems. We don't provide support for Docker itself or problems with any Docker environment.

Containerization manager

We recommend that you use official helm charts to deploy Jira Data Center with Kubernetes or customize a Kubernetes deployment on your own with the reference to the official helm charts.

We support the Atlassian Kubernetes helm chart and can help with Jira Data Center product-related problems. We don't provide support for Kubernetes itself or problems with any Kubernetes environment.

Read our Kubernetes support disclaimer and more about what we support and what we don’t.
