Restore JIRA from native instance to docker container

Currently, I am using JIRA native instance. Now I want to convert it into docker container. Can anyone suggest me a way to do so?

You can definitely restore JIRA native into a docker container using docker.

Steps:

• Backup existing JIRA
• Launch a dockerized JIRA
• Restore new JIRA

- Backup existing JIRA

• Navigate to https://YOUR_SERVER.atlassian.net/secure/admin/CloudExport.jspa
• Choose Backup for cloud
• You will get a zip, unzip it under the folder backup.

- Launch a JIRA dockerized

Use a community image as official image don't exist yet

docker run --name jira --detach --publish 8080:8080 cptactionhank/atlassian-jira-software:latest

• Install using the options you want

- Restore new JIRA

Copy the entities.xml to be ready to restore it:

cd backup
# copy inside of the docker
docker cp entities.xml jira:/var/atlassian/jira/import/

Navigate to http://localhost:8080/secure/admin/XmlRestore!default.jspa

• Type entities.xml in the File Namefield
• Press Restore
• It might take time if it's big
  Done!

Use a volume if you want to keep your data persistent:

docker run -v jira_data:/var/atlassian ...
