Install JIRA on Ubuntu 12.04 with the default installer or manually?

  • 772

I am researching installing JIRA, and the rest of the Atlassian Suite, onto an Ubuntu 12.04 server.

It appears that not long ago everyone recommended installing JIRA manually. This was due to lots of configuration problems and bugs related to Java 7.

I found a manual installation guide, but I would prefer to be lazy and have the install automated.

Ubuntu 12.04 /12.10 Ultimate Atlassian Production Server : Crowd + JIRA + Confluence + Stash + Fisheye | Single Sign On (SSO) | Fully Integrated | PostgreSQL ( pgSQL ) + Oracle Java 1.7( JDK 7 ) + Apache2 + SSL ( https ) + SNI (Shared SSL) + PROXY_AJP ( ajp ) + Optimised

Does the default JIRA installer for linux work well?

Is there a reason to manually install JIRA?

    The best method is the most supported method, which is the installer. As noted above, JIRA is quite well-contained, and is trivial to uninstall manually if need be.

    The installer puts things in the expected places so future upgrades will be trivial as well.
