Documentation: Explain Jira app self-managed setup
We have a section in the docs about installing the GitLab for Jira app for self-managed instances. It explains two workarounds. With the proxy solution in place, we need to explain this too. We should also mention that using the proxy means that Jira secrets are shared with GitLab.com.
The setup will look like this:
- On the self-managed instance, go to
admin/applications
- Click New Application
- Fill the fields
- Name: 'GitLab for Jira App'
-
Redirect URI:
https://gitlab.com/-/jira_connect/oauth_callbacks
-
Scopes:
api
- Make sure Trusted and Confidential are not selected
- Click Save Application
- Copy Application ID
- Go to
admin/application_settings/general
- Expand GitLab for Jira App
- Paste the Application ID
- Set Jira Connect Proxy URL to
https://gitlab.com
- Click Save changes
- Go to the app marketplace listing and install the app
- Select Self-managed
- Insert the URL of your GitLab instance
Once the documentation is in place, it should be linked here instead of the marketplace listing
