Should jira be installed on a home server or on a server provided by atlassian?

Question

Project management

Hello everyone, I decided to use a bug tracker for my project, unfortunately I did not find a convenient and functional bug tracker on the net and my eyes fell on the atlassian project called Jira. At one time, I already worked with Jira at a previous job, but there I acted as a developer, so I didn’t delve into the intricacies of installation and configuration. Well, that's actually the question. When I was about to pay $10 for a version for 10 people, I suddenly realized that there is a jira installer for my local server that runs on java using tomcat and in addition there is an online version, that is, jira located on the atlassian.com subdomain selected during registration (as far as I understood from the suggestion to create a subdomain when trying to make a payment). And then I immediately had a question, What to do? On the one hand, I have a web version that does not need to be configured and configured, suffering with tomcat (besides it, the web server and other servers still work), on the other hand, the ability to store all information on my home computer ...
Actually, the question is which version of jira to choose and what are the pros and cons of both options. It’s just that for me personally, having jira on a miraculous server may not be safe, on the other hand, no one guarantees the security of my server, since I don’t consider myself a guru of it technologies and working with servers. In addition, it is not clear why you need an installer on your own server if it is quite convenient to work with their server, and the price, as far as I understand, is the same for a license. In general, I ask you to enlighten me on this issue and set me on the right path, and, if possible, indicate other good and free bugtrackers that you know.

Answer 1

it is logical to choose jira on demand

Answer 2

Thanks to everyone, I installed Jira on their cloud - for working with
confluence tasks - for discussing
bitbucket specifications - git server for version control in
total it turned out $ 30 per month for 10 people, I think it's worth the money

Answer 3

A home server is a certain difficulty, just in that everything will need to be done by hand or asked by someone (while giving him root access to your server). If you have little knowledge in this area, then I do not advise.
If it's not a secret, jira because you already used it? There are a lot of bugtrackers, and if you put it on your server, then I would advise redmine. And if in the cloud, then do not be lazy and look at the trial versions of all those who provide such services.

Answer 4

There is nothing wrong with installing JIRA on your home computer - there are versions for both unix and windows
. You install it like a regular application and then forget - there are no problems with tomcat or anything there. Well, if you only add memory to it - java loves it very much
Regarding the cloud: you pay $30 per month, while at home you pay $10 per year, and for any plug-in to it the same $10 in the same year.

Answer 5

Atlassian has its own git, which is also installed inside the network, on its server - Stash, it is fully integrated into JIRA and commits are visible in tickets and vice versa.
I have JIRA for 100 people and Stash for 25 people at work - everyone is happy. Eats JIRA memory - about 3-5 Gb, when people are actively working + Stash - up to 3 Gb.
Divided into different virtual servers, backup is required :)

There is another option between your server and the Atlassian cloud - www.teamlead.ru/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=28737553 (as an advertisement).
