In reply to Tom Foxwell. I've never tested it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Awesome article. I’m just curious, now that Atlassian are moving to OpenJDK, could the standard OpenJDK pkg (specically java/openjdk11) could now be used with FreeBSD. Seems do-able based off Atlassian’s article: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Agile-articles/Java-11-OpenJDK-support-update-for-Server-and-Data-Center/ba-p/967836

Really great instllation guide! Found another one, here are pros and cons of using Jira cloud vs Jira server (on-premises) and the work scope for Jira server installation: https://polontech.com/atlassian-consulting-support/jira-consulting/jira-installation/

Thanks a lot for such detailed instruction! However I have some updates if you don’t mind :)

First of all when I’ve used kldload linux64 I’ve got following error:

ELF binary type “0” not known.
exec: /usr/local/linux-oracle-jre1.8.0/bin/java: Exec format error

My environment is:
1) FreeBSD x64 11.1
2) Jira 7.5.1
3) JRE 8u152 (x86)
4) MySQL Connector Java 5.1.44

So I’ve used ‘kldload linux’ instead. But then I’ve got error:

/usr/local/linux-oracle-jre1.8.0/bin/java: error while loading shared libraries: libjli.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

One way to fix it is to make symlink: ln -s /usr/local/YOUR_JRE_DIRECTORY/lib/i386/jli /compat/linux/usr/lib
