How to connect to JIRA app on remote server from different local computers?


Is it possible to install JIRA on 2 local computers, then install it's database on a remote server, and connect these two computers with two different usernames to same project?

I have installed JIRA on these two local computers, then chose one of these computers as admin and created a new project with the database located on a remote server, but don't know how to create/add new user that other local computer can have access to this JIRA project?


Solution

  • Jira is a web service which when installed allows any computer within network reach to access this service through browser

    Let's say you installed Jira on computer 1 You will be able to access Jira from computer 1's browser by the following url http://localhost:8080 (if you used default settings during installation)

    If you obtain computer 1 ip address, you may replace localhost with computer 1 ip. Let's say computer 1 ip is 10.14.16.18 Open the following url from computer 1 http://[computer_1_ip]:8080

    If computer 1 and 2 are on the same network and have no firewalls between them, you should be able to access Jira from computer 2 by using computer 1 ip: http://[computer_1_ip]:[jira_port]

    I hope this helps
