Atlassian applications allow the use of SSL within range of their products, however Atlassian support doesn’t cover configuration of 3rd party software. Although there are many useful articles on Atlassian website on this subject, it is messy and hard to follow just one article from A to Z to especially for Centos 7 environment which doesn’t install latest required Apache web server by default.

How to install Confluence on Centos7 with PostgreSQL

Posted on 
UPDATE --July-2018
Original instruction was installing postgresql-server-9.2. Atlassian has dropped support for v9.2 for newer versions. The post updated to install Postgresql-server v9.6 instead. 
If you have followed original post, and now want to update your database server to the latest, you can follow this post: How to upgrade Postgresql server to v9.6
Update 2018-03-06: I created a script that will do all the steps described on this page and the second part on this page in one place in much easier way. You can download it from github.

Up until now I always have used Mysql server for Confluence instances. PostgreSQL is Atlassian preferred database for Confluence and their other products. So I will go through installation steps for this configuration. I already have a fresh minimal Centos 7 installation.

Atlassian has a guide for this but it is generic covering all possible combinations and for this specific installation one need to jump between various pages. This post will have all you need to know on how to install Atlassian Confluence on Centos 7 in one place.

After you completed steps in this post, you can continue to make your connections secure and encrypted by following the steps on this page. http://comtronic.com.au/how-to-enable-ssl-on-confluence-centos-7/

How to migrate from Bugzilla to Jira

Posted on

Our company has used Bugzilla to track the bugs in various products for years. With the recent move to Jira to manage our projects and track tasks, it was time to say goodbye to the Bugzilla and centralise the issue backlogs.

As we have had a long list of active and resolved issues in various projects, I decided to import all the issues to Jira to keep the historical record of what has happened. Generally it is a straight forward process if you have done the preparation.

How to install ERPNext on Centos7

Posted on

The guys at ERPNext have done a great job on creating an installation script that install the full functional system in one easy step. But my initial attempts to install it on the Centos 7 by following easy installation procedure was a failure. I think this was mainly because the script has been developed and tested mainly for Ubuntu. You might be lucky enough to have your system set up exactly as the script expects but if that is not the case there will be a lot of trials and errors and re-builds and head scratches.
