Getting Started

If you do not have access to a Jira instance or you wish to attempt this tool in an isolated environment, this guide will help you get started with a containerized self-hosted version of a standalone Jira Server.

To start a container, use docker (or a compatible container engine like podman):

Note

Run the container in the foreground, or else it will exit after bootstrapping.

It might take a few minutes until the Jira will be available on http://<HOST>:2990/jira

1. Start the container:

   docker run -it -p 2990:2990 --name jira addono/jira-software-standalone --version 8.14.0

2. Login with default credentials:

   username: admin

   password: admin

3. After logging in, create or import a project.

4. Create a Jira issue.

5. Generate a personal access token.

6. Post a jiav comment.

7. Execute the tool.
