Integrate Bamboo With JIRA

In this post, we’ll see how we can integrate our Bamboo server with JIRA. We’ll install Bamboo and JIRA on Linux machines.

Bamboo Server Setup

Step1: Launch an EC2 instance with Ubuntu 16 AMI and make sure port 8085 is open in the security group.

Step2: Download jdk-8u202-linux-x64.tar.gz from Oracle. If we install openjdk with yum, it’ll install version 275 which will cause issue as our Bamboo version has a bug which will be problematic during installation(it expects java version minor number to be less than 255).

Step3: Extract the jdk archive and set JAVA_HOME environment variable

tar xvzf jdk-8u202-linux-x64.tar.gz
export JAVA_HOME=/home/ubuntu/jdk1.8.0_202
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

Step4: Install git,maven and bamboo 6.5.0

sudo apt-get update -y
mkdir bamboo-home
mkdir bamboo-install
sudo apt-get install git maven
wget https://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/downloads/binary/atlassian-bamboo-6.5.0.tar.gz
cd bamboo-install/
tar xvzf ~/jdk1.8.0_202/atlassian-bamboo-6.5.0.tar.gz
cd atlassian-bamboo-6.5.0/atlassian-bamboo/WEB-INF/classes/

Step5: Set bamboo_home to /home/ubuntu/bamboo-home in bamboo-init.properties file.

Step6: Start Bamboo installer by executing following commands:

cd ../../..
cd bin
./startup.sh
