====== Install 2 node Jira Datacenter in Docker behind apache reverse proxy ======
This assumes you already have a mysql container running with a created database for jira on the same docker network, for example at ip 172.20.20.2.

If not [[https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql|create that container]] and the [[https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/network_connect/#network-implications-of-stopping-pausing-or-restarting-containers|docker network.]]
===== Install first node =====

  docker run --network=atl --ip=172.20.20.5 -e JVM_SUPPORT_RECOMMENDED_ARGS=-DjvmRoute=node1 -e CLUSTERED=true -e JIRA_NODE_ID=node1 -e ATL_PROXY_NAME=jiratestdc.example.com -e ATL_PROXY_PORT=443 -e ATL_TOMCAT_SCHEME=https -v jiradc1:/var/atlassian/application-data/jira -v jiradcshared:/var/atlassian/application-data/jira/shared/ --name="jiradc1" -d -p 8585:8080 atlassian/jira-software

Explanation:

''-e JVM_SUPPORT_RECOMMENDED_ARGS=-DjvmRoute=node1''

This is required so that JVM is aware of the node used. Replace "node1" with whatever is set as ''BalancerMember'' in load balancer configuration.

''-e JIRA_NODE_ID=node1''

This sets the node name in jira home directory cluster.properties file. Should be same as in LB.

''-v jiradcshared:/var/atlassian/application-data/jira/shared/''

In addition to volume for jira home we need a shared folder that will be used by the nodes.

Don't forget to copy [[https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/ | mysql connector]] and restart the container

  docker cp mysql-connector-java-8.0.20.jar jiradc1:/opt/atlassian/jira/lib/
  docker restart jiradc1


===== Add node to load balancer =====
Enable the required modules:

  a2enmod proxy
  a2enmod lbmethod_byrequests

Edit vhost file to match this:

<file apache>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ProxyRequests off
    ServerName jiratestdc.example.com
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

<Proxy balancer://jiracluster>
    # JIRA node 1
    BalancerMember http://localhost:8585 route=node1
    # JIRA node 2
    BalancerMember http://localhost:8686 route=node2
 
    # Security "we aren't blocking anyone but this the place to make those changes
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from none
    Allow from all
 
    # Load Balancer Settings
    ProxySet lbmethod=byrequests
    ProxySet stickysession=JSESSIONID
</Proxy>
    # Here's how to enable the load balancer's management UI if desired
<Location /balancer-manager>
    SetHandler balancer-manager

    # You SHOULD CHANGE THIS to only allow trusted ips to use the manager
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    #Allow from all
    Allow from <youripaddress>
</Location>
 
    # Don't reverse-proxy requests to the management UI
    ProxyPass /balancer-manager !
    # Reverse proxy all other requests to the JIRA cluster
    ProxyPass / balancer://jiracluster/
    ProxyPreserveHost on

    SSLProxyEngine          On

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/jiratestdc-error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/jiratestdc-access.log combined

    # SSL rewrite
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =jiratestdc.example.com
    RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
</file>

The same configuration should be in ssl vhost configuration as well.

Reload apache2 and run through the setup of the node.

===== Add a new Jira node to the cluster =====

Copy the Jira installation directory to a new host. This is easily done by making a docker image from the first node.

  docker commit CONTAINER ID jiradc

We will use jiradc to spin up a new node.

Create new container
  docker run --network=atl --ip=172.20.20.6 -e JVM_SUPPORT_RECOMMENDED_ARGS=-DjvmRoute=node2 -e ATL_PROXY_NAME=jiratestdc.example.com -e ATL_PROXY_PORT=443 -e ATL_TOMCAT_SCHEME=https -v jiradc2:/var/atlassian/application-data/jira -v jiradcshared:/var/atlassian/application-data/jira/shared/ --name="jiradc2" -d -p 8686:8080 jiradc

Copy home data from node1 and change permissions:

  cp -R atlassian-jira.log caches cluster.properties customisations customisations-backup dbconfig.xml .java .jira-home.lock log monitor plugins __pycache__ tmp ../../jiradc2/_data/
  
  chown -R 2001:2001 ../../jiradc2/_data/

Change the cluster.properties line to ''jira.node.id=node2'' for the second node and restart second docker node.

===== Test =====

Go to the configured url and hit refresh couple of times. You should see the node names change on bottom of page
{{:wiki:node1jira.png|}}
{{:wiki:node2jira.png|}}


Once you're logged in, the Session cookie JSESSIONID will be set (Developer console > Storage) with the name of the node e.g. ''JSESSIONID:"F24EF7DBDB6AF41DD6930A0CA947E4CF.node2"''
