This guide will walk you through deploying Atlassian Jira Software on the Akash decentralized cloud.

Prerequisites

Before deploying, ensure you have:

• Akash CLI installed (Installation Guide)
• Akash wallet with sufficient funds
• Domain name (optional but recommended)

Step 1: Configure the Deployment File

Create a file named deploy.yaml and add the following content:

---
version: "2.0"

services:
  jira:
    image: atlassian/jira-software:latest
    expose:
      - port: 8080
        as: 80
        to:
          - global: true

profiles:
  compute:
    jira:
      resources:
        cpu:
          units: 1.0
        memory:
          size: 512Mi
        storage:
          size: 1Gi
  placement:
    akash:
      attributes:
        host: akash
      signedBy:
        anyOf:
          - "akash1365yvmc4s7awdyj3n2sav7xfx76adc6dnmlx63"
      pricing:
        jira:
          denom: uakt
          amount: 10000

deployment:
  jira:
    akash:
      profile: jira
      count: 1

Step 2: Deploy to Akash

1. Create a Deployment
   Run the following command to create a deployment:

    provider-services tx deployment create deploy.yaml --from <your-wallet-name> --chain-id <your-chain-id>

   Replace <your-wallet-name> and <your-chain-id> accordingly.

2. Check Deployment Status
   After submission, check the status:

    provider-services query deployment list --owner <your-wallet-address>

3. Accept a Bid
   Once a provider offers resources, accept the bid:

    provider-services tx deployment lease create --owner <your-wallet-address> --dseq <deployment-sequence> --from <your-wallet-name>

4. Get the Lease Information
   Retrieve the lease details:

    provider-services query lease list --owner <your-wallet-address>

5. Access Jira
   Once the deployment is active, obtain the external URL:

    provider-services query lease status --owner <your-wallet-address> --dseq <deployment-sequence>

   Look for the assigned public IP or domain name, then navigate to http://<your-ip> in your browser to access Jira.

Step 3: Configure Jira

Upon accessing Jira:

• Follow the setup wizard.
• Configure database settings if needed.
• Set up an administrator account.
• Start using Jira!

Troubleshooting

If the deployment fails, check logs:

provider-services query deployment status --owner <your-wallet-address> --dseq <deployment-sequence>

• Ensure your wallet has enough uakt tokens for bidding.
• If Jira is inaccessible, confirm the global exposure settings in deploy.yaml.

Conclusion

You have successfully deployed Jira on Akash! This setup allows for decentralized and cost-effective hosting of your project management software.
